“Using BlueSnap's easy-to-use reports, Namely saves about 30 minutes a day plus an additional two hours a month when closing the books. We’ve really gained a lot of efficiencies since working with BlueSnap, especially because of how well the system integrates with Zuora.”
Who Is Namely?
Namely was founded to create an HR platform as intuitive as social media, but powerful enough to support the complexity of today’s workforce. They focus on solving mid-sized companies’ biggest HR challenges — from talent management to time management and benefits administration to payroll. Their vision is to empower businesses to make data-driven decisions about people, because accessible data has the power to make employees more strategic and impactful.
A Shared Vision
We’re not just a vendor for Namely, but also a client. As an organization, we at BlueSnap were looking for flexible, easy-to-use HR management software that would also support employee engagement. We needed an automated performance management platform that could adapt to our business’s current and growing HR/Admin needs and enhance manager-employee communication for our global organization.
“We chose Namely for a lot of the same reasons our clients choose BlueSnap software,” says Ken Sullivan, SVP, Human Resources at BlueSnap. “It’s quick to implement, intuitively meets the needs we were looking for and offers a lot of added value. We can see that this software will grow with us, too.”
Namely’s robust platform provided a painless transition, great support, and the necessary functionality, including performance management, requesting/tracking paid time off, automating employee demographic changes, providing managers with a consolidated team view, quick access to employee data, and more.
The Challenge
Much like BlueSnap, Namely is a growing business — making the right technology and payment partner key. Namely was struggling with the multiple payment providers it had pieced together and was looking for an all-in-one solution for accepting credit cards and ACH from their customers in collections.
Before implementing BlueSnap, Namely was not able to easily access its payments data at a time of essential growth, so they decided it was time to find a better-suited solution that could grow with them.
The Solution
Namely was referred to BlueSnap through one of their own clients in the fintech space. Namely was already using BlueSnap’s partner, Zuora, for their subscription management. BlueSnap’s integration with Zuora helped to get Namely up and running quickly with all the right features.
“Using BlueSnap’s easy-to-use reports, Namely saves about 30 minutes a day plus an additional two hours a month when closing the books,” said Neil Friedman, Namely’s VP of Finance. “We’ve really gained a lot of efficiencies since working with BlueSnap, especially because of how well the system integrates with Zuora.”
In addition, BlueSnap was able to offer lower processing fees and eliminate hefty monthly costs charged by Namely’s legacy processors. Additional payment options, like ACH, and comprehensive yet intuitive reporting made BlueSnap the right choice to support Namely’s growth.
