Serving diverse verticals like spa, salon, tattoo, pet care, and recreation, DaySmart helps businesses—from startups to established operations—optimize their daily operations and accelerate growth.

Recognizing a strong demand for payroll functionality across its product suite, DaySmart aimed to integrate payroll into ten separate products, efficiently.

Adding payroll functionality across DaySmart’s nine distinct products posed a unique challenge. Developing separate payroll integrations for each product would have required extensive engineering resources and created ongoing maintenance complexities. DaySmart needed a single, scalable payroll solution that could serve all its products without the need for ten separate integrations. After evaluating various providers, DaySmart discovered that Salsa’s approach to shared services could provide the streamlined solution they needed, avoiding an engineering-intensive integration process for each product.

Salsa provided the ideal solution—a unified service that meets the unique needs of each product and scales effortlessly as we grow. With this approach, we’re set to deliver a powerful payroll solution to all of DaySmart’s customers."
