The challenge

Previous EOR was slowing everything down

Intercom's existing EOR provider had 2–3 week onboarding timelines, frequent payroll errors, and a platform so clunky that HR managers dreaded using it. It was damaging new hire experience at a critical moment.

  • Previous EOR provider with 2–3 week onboarding timelines
  • Limited country coverage blocking expansion plans
  • Employee complaints about payroll errors and slow support
  • HR team spending hours on manual EOR coordination
The solution

Fast, seamless, employee-loved EOR

Vectis migrated Intercom's entire workforce without disruption and set a new standard — 48-hour onboarding, self-service employee portal, and payroll employees can count on.

  • Seamless migration of 140 employees with zero disruption
  • 48-hour standard onboarding for all new international hires
  • Full country coverage across all 16 Intercom markets
  • Self-service employee portal reducing HR admin load
"Switching to Vectis from our previous EOR was seamless. The onboarding was fast, the platform is far more powerful, and our employees actually love using it. The 48-hour onboarding alone was worth the switch."
