Why You Should Choose Inova Over Rippling

Inova HCM is a unified, single database platform focused on delivering best-of-breed HR/Payroll service and support. Human capital management is Inova’s sole specialization and focus, while Rippling is building a global workforce platform that includes accounting, finance, IT, and HCM, so they lack a distinct specialty.
Inova has a team of over 30 implementation specialists to ensure client implementations go smoothly. Rippling’s clients complain of slow setup, with the clients’ staff doing most of the work and a steep learning curve to leverage all the functionality.
Inova HCM is scalable as companies grow with configurable workflows and customization. Rippling has a limitation on time tracking tools and limited mobile app functionality. Rippling is not suited for larger companies with more than 300 employees or those who have highly complex time and labor management needs.
Inova has a dedicated Account Manager assigned to each client backed by a team of professionals. Rippling only offers support through an online chat form, and the chat agent will generally direct questions to a user forum for answers. Rippling does not have customer phone support. Rippling’s HR help desk also requires additional fees.

When Choosing A Payroll Provider

What is a payroll provider?

A payroll provider is a company that assists businesses in processing employee payrolls, managing taxes, ensuring accurate and timely employee payments, and aiding with tax forms and regulatory compliance.

A suitable payroll provider for a growing company should be able to handle an increasing number of employees, offer scalable service plans, ensure ongoing compliance with complex tax laws, integrate with other business systems, provide detailed reporting, and support payroll across multiple locations. This adaptability ensures that as your business expands, your payroll processes remain efficient and compliant.

The cost of payroll services varies, typically starting from $20-$50 per month plus a per-employee fee, with prices increasing for additional features like HR support. Exact costs depend on employee numbers, payroll complexity, and service scope, with potential extra charges for setup and year-end filings.

To determine if a payroll provider understands the needs of your industry, assess their experience with similar businesses, their ability to handle industry-specific regulations, and their track record of compliance and adaptability to unique payroll requirements.

When selecting a payroll provider, check if their system supports integrations with your existing business software, such as accounting, HR, and time tracking applications, to ensure seamless data flow and process efficiency.
