On June 19, Salsa - a US-based company offering embedded payroll capabilities through APIs - announced an official expansion into Canada and its first local partnership with Mangomint, Silicon reports.
Mangomint is a booking and management platform serving spas and salons. Salsa’s modern payroll infrastructure now allows software platforms like Mangomint to overcome traditional barriers and provide an all-in-one business solution with integrated payroll to customers across the continent.
Nearly 1.2 million of Canada’s small businesses reportedly continue to rely on siloed legacy systems to compensate workers, despite their swift adoption of new, advanced solutions for other key functions, such as marketing and internal operations. This leaves business owners unable to pay workers in the same software application where they manage their teams, clients, and other business needs.
Salsa intends to empower companies across industries to solve the perennial payroll challenge with APIs that can easily be embedded into software platforms such as:
- The booking platform at a hair salon
- A point-of-sale system at restaurants
- The practice management application for a physical therapy office
- A time and attendance app used in nursing facilities
Mangomint has already used Salsa’s infrastructure to provide payroll capabilities to US spa and salon customers and has expressed excitement about bringing those benefits to their Canadian base; Salsa’s first point of market entry.
“Many fintech innovations only serve the U.S. market, but platforms like Mangomint have a significant base in Canada and want to offer the same experience to all of their customers,” John Kramer - CEO and co-founder of Salsa - said. “With our multi-country API, software platforms can now launch the first embedded payroll products that serve customers on both sides of the border. We’re excited to see this adoption and look forward to helping businesses in Canada tackle one of the biggest pain points – payroll.”
“Integrating Salsa’s payroll API into Mangomint was a game-changer for our customers in the U.S.,” Daniel Lang - Founder and CEO of Mangomint - said. “Now, for the first time, Canadian business owners in the beauty and wellness sector can pay their staff in the same platform they’re already using to manage booking, sales, and client communications. It’s an easier experience for them and gives business owners one less thing to worry about.”
Salsa’s payroll APIs have reportedly been available in the US for three years but the recent move into Canada is the result of two years of localising the solution to align with the country’s compliance and business practices. Salsa can now eliminate payroll complexities by handling all the compliance, calculations, tax filing and money movement leaving software applications to focus on building a better payroll product experience for business owners.
“Our engineering team is well-versed in the complexities of global payroll,” Juan Barroso - co-founder and CTO of Salsa - said. “For many of our engineers, this was our third time building a Canadian payroll engine, and we still had so much to improve. We’re incredibly proud of the product, and we’re thrilled to see our partners already launching the next generation of payroll products here.”
