Rippling

Rippling offers a cloud-based workforce management platform that includes a wide range of HR, IT, and finance-related services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-market companies. The platform brings employee data from the HR, IT, and finance functions and from third-party sources into a unified system (“Rippling Unity”) to enable businesses to update, automate, analyze, and report on employee-related workflows and information. Rippling was founded by Parker Conrad, former CEO and co-founder of Zenefits (acquired by TriNet in February 2022).

Rippling’s services include 1) HR services such as global payroll, professional employer organization, employer of record services, employee benefits, talent management, time and attendance management, and employee surveys, 2) IT services including remote application and device management as well as security and compliance features, and 3) finance-related products such as expense management and corporate cards.In September 2024, Rippling launched Talent Signal, an AI-powered employee evaluation tool to assess employee performance based on task-specific metrics 

Rippling’s workforce management platform is priced starting at USD 8 per user per month (April 2024) and also offers customers the option to pay only for the services they require due to its modular product nature.
