Overview

Partena Professional recently partnered with Paybix, a specialist in global payroll integration and management. This strategic collaboration enables Partena Professional’s customers to manage their global payroll processes through the unified Paybix platform.

This partnership not only simplifies international payroll management but also allows Partena Professional’s clients to focus on their global growth instead of administrative complexities.

Driving international expansion

The goal of this partnership is to support the growth of Partena Professional’s customers abroad. One of the major barriers to this expansion is the administrative burden caused by the diversity of local regulations.

Through this collaboration, Partena Professional’s customers can now efficiently manage all European payrolls, supporting their economic development abroad with local workforces.

Wim Lavaerts, Business Development Manager at Partena Professional, emphasizes that “The value of this tool lies in harmonizing different payroll processes across countries—a crucial need currently lacking in the market.”

Ensuring Compliance & Expertise

Paybix and Partena Professional are backed by a wide network of international partners to ensure compliance with local regulations. Partena Professional’s dedicated department, EuroServices, combines specific expertise in legal matters, local payroll, and payroll calculations for special statuses like expats and split payroll.

This enables Partena Professional to serve as a true advisor for Belgian businesses expanding into Europe.

The setup in more detail

After the gross-to-net calculations are completedin each country, Partena imports the finalized databack into the Paybix platform, allowing customersto instantly review global analytics.

This shared-access model makes the platformhighly adaptable, accommodating various levels of outsourcing—whether customers prefer to manage data input and processing themselves or rely on Partena Professional for comprehensive payroll management.

“The value of the Paybix platform lies in harmonizing different payroll processes across countries — a crucial need currently lacking in the market.

The collaboration between Partena Professional and Paybix is a testament to how Paybix’s platform can unlock global payroll possibilities for payroll serviceproviders.

With the capability to centralize international payroll management, enhance regulatory compliance, and streamline complex HR processes, Paybix is well-positioned to support other payroll providers in delivering value to their clients while fostering international growth.”
