CEO Asantha Wijeyeratne said: “It’s been an incredibly busy and exciting quarter. Hot off the heels of announcing our maiden profit - we’ve completed the Proof of Concept for wholesale payroll with the Gen 2.0 payroll engine and I’m immensely proud of what the team have delivered. I am also very grateful to the organisation that worked with us to prove the concept. This work is a pivotal piece of PaySauce’s future growth journey and actively manages our risks around potential technical debt.

“We’ve also been focused on growing our customer base on the existing platform - doubling down on our Sales and Marketing efforts to gain traction in the New Zealand market in new verticals. Auckland is a territory that is under-represented for PaySauce, and our current campaign is targeting tradies.

INVESTING FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH
The wholesale payroll proof of concept proved the capability to integrate into third party software, with all test objectives successfully delivered.

Wijeyeratne said: “We are delighted to have achieved this significant milestone and we will continue to capitalise on the internal benefits from the completion of the Gen 2.0 payroll engine. The first implementation will unify the customers we acquired as part of the SmoothPay acquisition into a single solution.

“PaySauce remains excited by the opportunities on offer for new and existing customers and we continue to work towards an acceleration of growth as we target $10 million in ARR.” Wijeyeratne said.
