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.
