Payroll experience on our team
to your first payroll run
Certified information security
Data in EU data centers
Works with your existing systems
"Every new client adds work, not margin."
"My senior payroller is the only one who knows our hardest Mandate. That is a problem."
"We are losing clients to bureaus that are already automating."
If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
What's slowing your growth
Growth only through hiring
More clients means more staff. Labor costs scale linearly with revenue. Margins stay flat.
Talent shortage
Experienced payroll specialists are hard to find. New hires need months to become productive.
Fragmented processes
Data arrives via email, Excel, fax, and phone. Preparing it eats time that should go to actual processing.
Margin pressure from competition
Other bureaus are already automating. Manual operations lose clients to more efficient providers.

How project b. works in your bureau
From data intake to clean export — step by step.
Client delivers data
Your client enters changes in the project b. portal or via digital upload. Structured, complete, and without back-and-forth.
RITA reviews and structures
RITA checks automatically for completeness and plausibility. Missing data is flagged immediately — before it becomes a problem.
You export to your system
Reviewed data flows into DATEV, SBS, or Agenda with one click. You work in your familiar environment — just much faster.
A modular infrastructure for payroll prep
Flexible for every client
Every client is different. project b. supports every collaboration model — from a full-featured portal to a lightweight service access.
Client A · Full portal
Client wants to work digitally
Your client uses the HR portal and can say goodbye to Excel lists. Employees get a digital solution for absences, master data, and payslips — the data stream flows structured directly to you.
Client B · Lightweight
Client wants to keep it simple
No full portal needed: the client gets access to the document hub and submits changes digitally via the service portal. Everything else that arrives by email is processed automatically by RITA.
What changes for your bureau
Capacity without headcount
Automated data capture and review free up capacity for significantly more clients per specialist.
Standardised data intake
Clients deliver data digitally and structured. No more email-hunting, no more Excel chaos.
Processing-system add-on, not a replacement
project b. works with your processing system, not against it. Your existing processes stay intact.
Fewer questions, faster closes
RITA automatically checks for completeness — missing data is caught before it becomes a problem.
Payroll becomes more profitable
Same revenue, less effort. Or more revenue with the same team. You choose how you grow.
Built by people who have run a bureau themselves
