Sold — Exclusively Purchased

This segment has been purchased by another organization and is permanently off the market. That's not a scarcity tactic — it's how the model works. One buyer, full exclusivity, no exceptions.

Why we built this.

Paylocity has invested heavily in employee experience features — community, surveys, learning management — but for the HR leaders and finance teams who need to pull clean workforce data on demand, the reporting layer hasn't kept pace. Custom report building is cumbersome, scheduled reports don't always behave as expected, and getting a cross-module view that combines payroll, time, and benefits data into a single export often requires workarounds or support tickets. This segment captures 79 Paylocity accounts that named reporting as their number one frustration on a live Q2 2026 research call. These aren't companies that want a flashier dashboard — they need reliable, flexible access to their own workforce data. For HCM competitors with strong analytics and reporting suites, or for workforce analytics platforms that integrate with or replace HCM-native reporting, this is an audience that has already identified the gap and is actively frustrated by it.

How to use this segment.

1
Report builder demonstration
Skip the feature overview and build a report live. Ask them for a report they've struggled to pull from Paylocity — headcount by department with cost breakdown, or turnover by tenure band — and show them how long it takes in your system. The contrast sells itself.
"Give me your hardest report request — the one that takes three exports and a spreadsheet to get out of Paylocity. I'll build it live in under five minutes."
2
Cross-module data access
The most common reporting frustration with Paylocity is that payroll, time, and benefits data live in silos. If your platform unifies these into a single reporting layer, lead with that — it's the specific problem they've been working around.
"Payroll, time and attendance, and benefits — all in one report, one export, no manual stitching. That's what your finance team has been asking for."
3
Scheduled and automated reporting
HR and finance leaders want reports delivered to their inbox on a cadence, not pulled manually each period. If your platform supports reliable scheduled reports with conditional logic, position it as infrastructure that saves hours every pay cycle.
"Every Monday morning your VP of Finance gets a workforce cost summary in their inbox — no login required, no manual pull. We set it up once and it runs until you tell it to stop."

Common questions.

Exclusivity is the product. If the same 79 accounts received outreach from multiple competing vendors simultaneously, response rates would collapse and every buyer's return on investment would erode. One buyer means the intelligence retains its edge.
