Founded in 2000, MercuryGate International is a leading provider of SaaS transportation management software (TMS) to the logistics industry. To honor its mission and commitment of delivering a high-quality Transportation Management System that is always one generation ahead of its time, MercuryGate relies heavily on its team of experts.
MercuryGate had a valuable team member who was leaving the U.S. after discovering her husband was being transferred to Canada. Without an existing human resource presence in Canada – and having future plans to expand its employee base in-country – MercuryGate needed a solution to retain the employee, and also quickly and compliantly onboard her in Canada.
Additionally, it was seeking a solution that would ensure the employee was provided with compensation, benefits, and other HR support that was comparable to what she received in the U.S.
With the clock ticking and the employee leaving the U.S. in just under three weeks, MercuryGate needed an immediate solution.
After considering a partnership with a Canadian PEO, MercuryGate discovered Velocity Global and its comprehensive global Employer of Record (EoR) solution. This agile employment method provided MercuryGate with the ability to retain the valuable team member and compliantly onboard her in Canada without establishing a legal entity.
With future plans to expand into additional foreign markets, MercuryGate found the global partner it was looking for after learning Velocity Global’s international infrastructure and in-country expertise were available not only in Canada, but also in over 185 countries.
With Velocity Global’s help, MercuryGate was able to compliantly onboard the employee in Canada in less than a week. Global EoR not only helped MercuryGate retain the valuable team member, but also saved it time, money, and resources. Above all, MercuryGate felt confident it was legally compliant with all employment regulations, without having to establish a legal entity, thanks to Velocity Global’s extensive in-country knowledge and expertise in Canada.
By outsourcing the employment process to Velocity Global, MercuryGate was able to turn its focus to other future global initiatives, while Velocity Global provided ongoing support and management of the employee’s payroll, benefits, and compliance with Canadian labor regulations. As a result of the successful experience with Velocity Global’s simple global EoR solution in Canada, MercuryGate has already turned to Velocity Global again – this time to onboard an employee in Europe.
MercuryGate wasn’t prepared to lose a valuable team member who was leaving the U.S. after discovering her husband was being transferred to Canada. With no legal presence in Canada, MercuryGate needed a solution to retain the team member and compliantly onboard her in the new country.
