When payroll becomes a bottleneck
What we hear from HR teams every week.
"Every month, payroll eats hours that should go to strategy."
"If our payroll person is out, everything stalls."
"Keeping track of every change at month-end is a real struggle."
Two scenarios HR teams know
The biggest pain isn't a missing tool. It's the chaotic, non-digital collaboration with your payroll service.
Tool yes, digital handoff no
Data gets captured in a tool, but doesn't make it fully digitally to the payroll service. Every month some data is missing, draft payroll runs need painstaking corrections, and employee data you already entered ends up lost.
Monthly email chaos
Once a month, every piece of data has to be sent to the payroll service by email. First you gather Excel lists, personnel questionnaires, and master data, then make them available. It blocks substantial time every month.
With project b., you finally work digitally. We give you the right dashboard for your employees, for you, and for the communication with your payroll service.
Everything for your HR and payroll processes in one tool
Our payroll team handles everything around payroll. With the platform, you get HR tasks done faster, more transparently, and without the unnecessary back-and-forth over employee data and documents. Everything in one place.
Master Data Management
Onboarding, updates, certificates — employees self-serve, your records stay clean.
Absence Management
Vacation, sick leave, time off — tracked once and fed cleanly into every payroll cycle.
Payroll Changes
Salary changes, new hires, bonuses — captured structurally and handed off to your payroll system.
RITA, your AI colleague
Emails, PDFs, Excels — RITA extracts and validates the data so your team never has to retype it.
Payslip Distribution
Encrypted, GDPR-compliant delivery direct to employees. No more "lost in inbox" payslips.
Change Logs
Every payroll adjustment auditable. Compliance and visibility without anyone chasing it.
How project b. fits into your tool landscape
Many companies today work with internal tools, Excel lists, and a payroll bureau in the background. Along the way, overview and simple processes often get lost.
Software route
Just a tool
Clean workflows on your side. But payroll itself still runs through your team every month.
Outsourced route
A bureau in the back
Someone external runs payroll. But you and your employees have no central place for documents, data, and HR processes.
project b.
Both, in one place
Our payroll team runs the cycle. A real product gives your employees self-service. One contract, one partner.
How the handover works
From kickoff to worry-free payroll in about a month.
Day 1
Hand off the records
You share an export from your current payroll system. We handle the migration, integration, and configuration.
Day 5
Employees go live
Your team lands in the portal with everything they need — payslips, absence requests, document access.
Month 1+
You keep your head clear
Changes come in digitally, payslips go out digitally. In between, we take care of the process.
Built by payroll experts who lived this problem
We've run a payroll bureau, built ITSG-certified software, and know exactly where payroll breaks. Our team brings 100+ years of combined payroll experience.
For you, that means: you're handing off payroll to people who understand it from the inside — not to a black box.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from HR software like Personio?
Personio is great for HR workflows. project b. owns the payroll execution layer — the team that actually runs payroll, plus the employee-facing surfaces around it. We complement HR software like Personio rather than replacing it, and we can also run standalone if you don't have one yet.
Can our Steuerberater stay involved?
project b. does not replace your Steuerberater. When needed, your Steuerberater can access the key accounting and payroll documents directly — digital, central, and always up to date.
What if we already use DATEV, Agenda, or SBS?
project b. integrates with every major German payroll system. We feed clean, structured data into whatever you use. No migration, no parallel processes, no lock-in.
How quickly can we go live?
Onboarding typically takes a few days. You provide company details, employee data, and previous payroll documents. We handle the rest, set everything up, and train your team.
What does payroll with project b. cost?
Pricing is per active employee — transparent, predictable, and scales with you. There are no setup fees and no surprise costs when you hire. Get in touch for a quote based on your size and stack.
How secure is our employee data?
project b. is ISO 27001:2022 certified and fully GDPR compliant. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and stored exclusively in EU data centers.
