Kimberly started at Globalfy 7 years ago when there were only 2 employees. She has been able to see the company grow and expand into a thriving international business that has over 70 employees in more than 6 countries. Gobalfy was able to expand and grow their business due to their reduced HR workload – all thanks to Factorial.

Globalfy’s HR challenges
“Before using Factorial, we had many challenges, one of time was the time we were spending doing manual things and also the fact we were using multiple systems”
During the early stages of Globalfy, they spent a significant amount of time manually handling HR tasks. They used multiple tools, which made it challenging to complete HR processes efficiently, as information was scattered across different platforms. As they had various information spread across different tools, a lot of information was missed and unnecessary time was spent searching for documents, taking away time from other tasks. This lack of organization prevented them from being as proactive and productive as they wanted to be.
Why Globalfy chose Factorial
A dedicated account manager which showed Kimberly how professional Factorial is and she is able to receive the help she needs. She enjoyed follow-ups and constant communication from Factorial. Factorial is very intuitive and it’s easy for everyone to use. In addition, pricing wise Factorial fit inside their budget and they offered a very competitive pricing plan for what Globify needed.
Features that Globalfy loves
“Three things that made us go with Factorial: personalized support, easy and simple to use platform, and competitive pricing options.”
With Factorial being a global business, there was no better option in the market that understood the struggles of having an international team. Kimberly found Factorial to be the most intuitive and cost effective solution that fit their budget and international standards. Apart from that, having a dedicated account manager was a decisive factor during the decision making process. They were able to assist not only with the implementation of the software, but also the adoption of all employees.
- Document management: Team members’ documents are all organized and securely stored in one place. A manager can request employees to upload and sign PIPs, HR can request employees to add their passports and fill in their W-4 forms, etc. Factorial centralized all their employee information.
- Calendar: All Globalfires, as they refer to themselves, have visibility on who is on vacation, who is on a work trip, who is covering for someone who is off, etc. It gives independence for everyone on the team to know someone’s whereabouts without having to ask.
- Time off: The mobile app makes it easy for employees to request their PTO, see how many days they’ve used, and managers can seemingly approve the requests. Beforehand, employees had to ask HR admins about their PTO balance, request to managers, and the approvals were not documented.
- Employee Profile: Visibility into employees’ agreements and promotions where both the employee and managers access important information pertaining to the employee’s growth in the company. This gives more independence not only to the employee but also to the managers.
