How Travelxp Fixed Payroll Errors and Cut Processing Time from 10 Days to Just Hours.

More time to focus on strategy, less time fixing payroll errors — that’s Travelxp’s success byte.

Travelxp is transforming the way people travel — connecting inspiration to booking through immersive content, curated experiences, and intelligent commerce.

As a global leader in travel media, Travelxp produces 100% original 4K HDR content in multiple languages, reaching 200+ million homes across 118+ countries via TV and OTT. From binge-worthy videos to personalized getaways, its content-to-commerce engine drives high-impact travel decisions.

Bootstrapped and culture-first, it moves fast, builds lean, and scales smart. But as its growth accelerated, outdated HR processes became a bottleneck, with payroll delays, manual errors, and time-consuming workflows, slowing it down.

It was time for an HR upgrade — because just like travel, its operations had to be seamless too!

That’s when it chose HROne to step in!

With HROne’s seamless SAP integration, auto-syncing databases, and automated PF and ESI deductions, Travelxp improved its payroll process significantly, achieving greater accuracy, faster closures, and freedom to focus on strategic growth.

Here’s how it happened.

Challenges Faced by Travelxp

Inaccurate attendance data Travelxp faced attendance discrepancies due to manual entries and no real-time tracking. The system lacked a tool that could integrate and sync data between attendance, leave, overtime, and comp-offs. This not only created errors in attendance but also made payroll processing a major operational drag for Travelxp’s HR team.
Non-Compliant Payroll Processing With manual payroll operations, staying compliant with PF, Gratuity, ESI, and TDS regulations was a constant challenge. For a growing workforce, limited staff and lengthy checklists turned compliance into a high-risk, high-stress process — with penalties looming every month.
Delayed Payroll Closures The HR team at Travelxp spent 7–10 days on payroll — far above the industry average of 1–5 business days. Manually compiling attendance, validating inputs, and cross-checking data made the process slow and error-prone, delaying salary disbursement and increasing compliance risks.
Overloaded Payroll Admins With a heavily manual payroll setup, Travelxp’s payroll admins were stretched thin by managing EMI deductions, tracking tax declarations, sending constant reminders for year-end formalities, and handling employee queries. The absence of auto-approvals for loans and tax deductions added to the load, leading to burnout and inefficiencies.
