"We have been very impressed with its efficiency and how user friendly it is. The previous software we used was challenging because of the time it took to process our payroll and the inefficiency of what it could offer in the way of reporting. We have future plans to utilise the APIs with our in-house software, which will mean we will have live payslips available for all colleagues. The support we have received in transferring our software has been excellent and the ongoing support is always fast and efficient. We would highly recommend Ciphr Payroll."
