Smart mobility meets digital payroll accounting

The challenge

Before switching to cleverlohn, Alpha Link Engineering had already outsourced its payroll accounting. Working with the original provider went well in principle. Still, there were two key challenges: the previous payroll accounting costs were almost twice as high as with cleverlohn. Another problem was employees' limited access to their own payroll documents, which meant Daniel Cracau often had to answer requests and dig out documents.

The switch to cleverlohn

The switch to cleverlohn took place in January 2023. According to Daniel Cracau, the process went smoothly apart from a small challenge with transferring historical data. “The switch itself was very good. Almost everything worked. Only the transfer of historical data wasn't perfect, because our previous provider used different systems. But all challenges were solved quickly and professionally.” The direct, digital connection to cleverlohn reduced both administrative work and costs.

The solution

cleverlohn proved to be a modern, digital alternative to the previous payroll accounting. This showed especially in employee access to payroll documents, the full digitalisation of processes and cost savings of around 40%. Because team members can access their documents themselves, internal requests went down. A digital solution replaced the manual exchange. This change led to considerable cost efficiency. “Employees can now access their payroll documents themselves, which has reduced my administrative work considerably. On top of that, cleverlohn is a modern, digital solution that saves money.”

The result

Working with cleverlohn has led to a significant gain in efficiency. It is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional payroll accounting. Central management of all payroll data on one platform plus automatic reminders of upcoming pay adjustments keep payroll accounting running smoothly. “Saving time and saving money: for me, the perfect combination. The efficiency gain from cleverlohn is enormous. I no longer have to wrestle with manual processes. I save a lot of time.” Alpha Link Engineering also feels well looked after thanks to the fast, professional support from its dedicated payroll accountant, as questions and requests always get quick answers and suitable solutions.

Recommendation

Daniel Cracau recommends cleverlohn especially to start-ups and small companies that want to outsource their payroll accounting efficiently and cost-effectively. Finally, Daniel Cracau stresses that lean digital solutions like this should also be used in the public sector, especially in university HR administration, where digitalisation is still lacking. “I'd recommend cleverlohn without reservation, above all to smaller companies that don't yet have fixed structures and want to rely on a digital, modern solution.”
