Case Study: Literati achieves lean HR & IT—running 160 employees with two admins and saving 30+ hours/month with Rippling

How a remote-first startup stays lean and maximizes profitability with Rippling

Literati, a 160-employee technology company, needed to onboard 23 people in two weeks after an acquisition while keeping its People Ops and IT teams lean. Frustrated by Workday and Paycom’s complexity, integration costs, and hidden fees, Literati adopted Rippling as its HRIS and automation platform (using features like Workflow Automator and Device Management) to scale without adding administrative headcount.

Rippling’s automations let Literati onboard 23 hires in two weeks with just three people, save 30+ hours per month on onboarding/offboarding, and run HR and IT for 160 employees with only two admins — avoiding two full-time hires and postponing additional HR/IT headcount until around 1,000 employees. Rippling also simplified integrations and cut costly off-cycle and prior-period amendment fees, delivering measurable time and cost savings versus alternatives like Paycom.
