Rippling

Rippling is an all-in-one workforce management platform that brings HR, payroll, IT, and Finance into one system. It uses a central employee database to connect workforce information across different business functions, allowing companies to manage employee data, payroll, benefits, devices, applications, and expenses from one platform. The platform is designed around automation. When an employee joins, changes roles, or leaves the company, Rippling can automatically update related systems such as payroll, benefits, software access, and company devices. It also supports global workforce management across 185+ countries.

How Rippling Works

• Centralized Data: Each employee has a central profile containing information such as payroll, benefits, applications, permissions, and other workforce data.
• Automated Workflows: When an employee is hired, promoted, or terminated, Rippling can automatically trigger related actions across payroll, software access, benefits, and devices.
• Modular Setup: Businesses can start with core HR or payroll and add other products for IT, Finance, benefits, time tracking, and workforce management as their needs grow.
• Connected Systems: Rippling connects HR data with IT and Finance systems so changes made in one area can automatically update related systems.

How We Rated Rippling

We also considered global payroll coverage, employee management, device and application controls, integrations, and ease of use. Our assessment also considers pricing, customization, scalability, support, and the additional cost of adding multiple products. This provides a broader view of Rippling's value for different types of businesses rather than focusing only on individual features.
