About Goodman

Goodman is a global integrated commercial and industrial property group specializing in logistics facilities, warehouses, and business parks across multiple international markets.

As European Payroll Coordinator, Leen De Gryze oversees payroll operations across several European countries, where consistency, visibility, and operational control are critical.

The Challenge

When Goodman needed to transition payroll operations in Spain within a short timeframe, the company decided to use this moment not simply as a local provider change, but as an opportunity to lay the foundation for stronger European payroll control going forward.

Many international organizations wonder how and when to start adopting a more centralized multi-country payroll approach. In Goodman’s case, the transition in Spain proved to be the ideal opportunity to initiate that journey.

However, such a transition is not a prerequisite. Companies do not need to replace their existing local payroll providers to benefit from the Paybix platform. Paybix is specifically designed to integrate local payroll operations into one connected ecosystem while preserving local provider expertise and continuity.

Beyond ensuring business continuity, Goodman was looking for a solution that could support:

• more centralized payroll oversight,
• streamlined employee and payroll data management,
• standardized workflows,
• and a scalable European payroll operating model for the future.

The Solution

Although Goodman and Paybix had already been in contact previously, the timing and business context now aligned perfectly.

Goodman selected Paybix because of its technology-driven approach: combining centralized payroll oversight through the Epix platform with the flexibility and expertise of local payroll operations.

The first rollout focused on Spain, allowing Goodman to:

• onboard payroll operations quickly,
• centralize Spanish payroll management within Epix,
• streamline payroll and employee data flows,
• and validate the platform within a live operational environment.

The implementation moved quickly. Onboarding, testing, and validation were completed within a tight timeline to ensure a seamless operational transition and uninterrupted payroll continuity.

The result:
the first live payroll run was completed successfully and on time, while simultaneously establishing the technological and operational foundation for broader European payroll control in the future.

Building for the Future

What started as a payroll transition in Spain became the first step in a broader payroll transformation journey.

Goodman now benefits from:

• improved payroll visibility and control for Spain,
• reduced operational complexity,
• standardized processes,
• and a scalable platform capable of supporting future European expansion.

"The best of both worlds: centralized oversight without sacrificing local expertise."
