Before engaging Rivermate, setting up localized contracts through regional third-party attorneys took roughly 6 weeks per country. Rivermate reduced our onboarding timeline to under 5 business days per hire. Payroll processing has had zero payment errors or missed deadlines since we started. Handing off statutory tax filings and compliance management has also noticeably reduced internal legal costs.

They currently do not handle physical equipment shipping or IT device management directly through the portal. We still have to manage laptop logistics internally or via local vendors, which would be a helpful feature if integrated.
