It’s really a no brainer
Why You Should Choose Inova Over Paychex
Inova is a unified HCM Platform, but ADP is built on a collection of acquisitions and 3rd party applications to offer functionality. ADP’s timekeeping system is a separate system, which means they are not able to print time punches on paystubs.
Inova can scale with companies as they grow. Our clients have anywhere from 1 to 8,500 employees. Paychex’s average customer size is 16 employees; Paychex’s primary target market is less than 100 employees.
Inova HCM reporting capabilities are extensive, while Paychex’s disparate modules limit cross-module reporting and broad organizational insights.
Inova has a team of over 30 implementation specialists to ensure client implementations go smoothly. Paychex sales reps don’t get paid until the clients go live on the platform, so the sales team is driving the process. This results in a rushed, often haphazard implementation.
