Continuing a Legacy of Global Leadership & Recognition
This prestigious recognition from one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms highlights our dedication to delivering innovative, reliable, and future-ready global payroll and HR technology solutions while emphasizing our continuous leadership in providing highly scalable, automated, and fully integrated multicountry payroll technology services that are aligned with the latest trends Gartner has identified, including payroll automation, composable HR architectures, AI-powered HR service delivery, hyperautomation, etc.
As part of the 2025 edition of Gartner’s Hype Cycle, Mercans has been recognized specifically for our capabilities in Unified Multicountry Payroll Solutions and Global Employer of Record (EoR) Solutions.
In the Unified Multicountry Payroll Solutions category, authored by Gartner Analyst David Bobo, Mercans secured its position among just 10 vendors globally. This recognition is based on several key evaluation factors, including innovation maturity, platform integration capabilities, automation, compliance strength, and global scalability.
Beyond this recognition, Mercans brings differentiated value through our ability to seamlessly unify complex payroll operations across multiple jurisdictions. Our proprietary global payroll platform, HR Blizz™, delivers real-time gross-to-net calculations in over 54 countries, certified integrations with major HCM platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle, Darwinbox, UKG, and Dayforce, mobile-enabled employee self-service, centralized multi-currency processing, advanced reporting, and robust compliance controls — all supported by ISO 27001-certified data security.
In the Global Employer of Record (EoR) Solutions category, authored by Gartner Analyst Nicole Paripurana, Mercans was recognized among 10 global providers. The evaluation is based on factors such as service scope, operational scalability, compliance capabilities, technology integration, and the maturity of support infrastructure across markets.
Mercans delivers a comprehensive EoR solution designed to support globally expanding organizations with full statutory compliance. Our approach simplifies workforce onboarding, payroll, and in-country legal alignment (without setting up legal entities in new markets), helping clients enter new markets quickly, reduce operational friction, and scale with confidence while maintaining governance and visibility at every stage.
This new achievement goes on to build on Mercans’ continued recognition by Gartner across multiple research publications. In the Toolkit for Multi-country Payroll Solutions 2022, Mercans was named a Representative Vendor yet again for its proprietary HR Blizz™ platform, recognized for our certified integrations with leading HCM platforms, flexible payroll processing capabilities, advanced functional coverage, and strong compliance management across global jurisdictions.
Additionally, in the Market Guide for Multi-country Payroll Solutions 2024, Mercans was highlighted among leading global players, demonstrating our robust capabilities in delivering unified global payroll, cloud-based architecture, automation, advanced reporting, employee self-service, and comprehensive regulatory compliance.
In conclusion, this sustained and repeated recognition from Gartner affirms Mercans’ role in shaping the future of global payroll and HR technology. Our unified platform enables organizations to expand efficiently, maintain regulatory compliance across borders, and streamline operations, allowing leadership to focus on strategic growth and talent development, not administrative complexity.
