THE STORY
Rapid growth outpaced outsourced payroll
Coda Search (Coda) is a staffing agency. In 2022, rapid growth pushed the company into five new states.
Coda had outsourced payroll, expecting it to be more cost-efficient and lower risk. Instead, the process proved cumbersome and time-inefficient, with no visibility into its own payroll system — and employees and managers grew increasingly frustrated.
THE CHALLENGE
Business growth overwhelmed payroll and HR tasks
In 2022, Coda expanded into five new states — and outsourced payroll couldn't keep pace with the growth.
Rapid expansion. Growth into five new states stretched payroll and HR thin.
Cumbersome outsourcing. Outsourced payroll was meant to save time but proved slow and inefficient.
No visibility. Coda had no clear view into its own payroll system.
Growing frustration. Employees and managers grew increasingly frustrated with day-to-day operations.
WHAT CHANGED
Payroll and HR moved to one cloud platform
Coda moved to Greenshades Payroll & HR Platform Plus in the cloud — a single system to replace outsourced payroll.
One platform, full control. A single system for payroll and HR let Coda simplify and directly manage its own processes.
Visibility and documents restored. Employees and managers gained direct access to view and download their payroll and HR documents whenever they need them.
More time for strategy. With less time spent on payroll admin, managers can focus on the company's growth.
A partner, not a case number. Greenshades' accessible support team gives Coda direct, personal contact instead of a ticket queue.
“Greenshades' support staff is always accessible; you don't have to jump through hoops to speak with a live person as you do with larger payroll providers. Greenshades has never made us feel like a case number — personal connections and communication mean everything.”

THE RESULTS
More control, with time to focus on growth
Since moving to Greenshades Payroll & HR Platform Plus, Coda regained visibility into its own systems and full control over its payroll and HR processes.
Employees can view and download their documents on demand, and managers now have more time to focus on the company's growth.
With payroll and HR unified in the cloud, Coda has the foundation to keep expanding — backed by a support team that treats it as a partner, not a case number.
