What is cloud payroll software and why should I use it?
Using cloud payroll software offers numerous benefits:
- Flexibility: Manage your payroll anytime, anywhere, without being tied to a specific computer.
- Collaboration: Share access with multiple users, such as your team or accountant, for seamless real-time collaboration.
- Data Security: Your payroll data is securely stored in the cloud with regular backups, reducing the risk of data loss due to hardware failures or other issues.
- Automatic Updates: Stay compliant with the latest tax rates and regulations, with no need to manually install updates.
What is the difference between BrightPay desktop and BrightPay cloud?
BrightPay Desktop is installed directly on your computer. It’s useful for those who prefer managing payroll on a single device, with all data stored locally. You get powerful payroll features, but you’re responsible for backing up your data and installing updates.
BrightPay Cloud, on the other hand, is our upcoming cloud-based version, which brings the same powerful payroll features to a secure online environment. It provides flexibility with access from any device, automatic updates, real-time collaboration, and secure data storage. BrightPay Cloud is designed to deliver greater convenience and peace of mind, with your data safely stored in the cloud.
What new features will I get with BrightPay cloud?
BrightPay Cloud will include all the same functionalities of BrightPay Desktop, plus:
- Access your payroll from anywhere, on any device giving you greater flexibility
- Work with team members in real-time for seamless collaboration
- Enhanced security measures, protecting sensitive employee and financial data
- No need to back up your payroll data manually—it's securely stored in the cloud
- Always have the latest software version without needing to install updates
- Access from your internet browser – no need to install the software on your device
Will it be easy to switch from my current payroll software to BrightPay cloud?
Yes, switching to BrightPay Cloud will be simple! If you're currently using BrightPay Desktop or Thesaurus Payroll Manager, we’ve developed an easy import option to move your payroll data to BrightPay Cloud within minutes.
If you’re using another payroll software, we provide an import facility to help you get started. Plus, our dedicated migration team is available to support you throughout the transition.
