■ OUTSOURCED PAYROLL | APAC
Purpose-built for APAC. One platform, one login — no third-party add-ons, no manual data transfers across 16 markets.
The Systems Problem
Across 16 markets, regulators update rates and requirements on their own schedule. One missed change in one country creates exposure across your entire APAC structure.
When payroll runs across multiple country systems, every board pack is a manual reconciliation exercise. The numbers are stale before they reach the room.
In-house payroll depends on individuals. When that person leaves, the institutional knowledge goes with them and gets rebuilt from scratch under deadline.
Why Ignite
These aren’t projections. They reflect what we’ve built delivering APAC payroll services across clients including CTBC Bank, Lam Research, and FKS Food & Agri.
The Platform
Ignite replaces every disconnected payroll system with one purpose-built platform. Live payroll runs, automated statutory filings, consolidated reporting, and employee self-service. All in one place, across all 16 APAC markets.
Our regional teams track regulatory changes in every market we operate. When IRAS updates IR8A requirements, when MOM amends leave entitlements, when Indonesia revises BPJS contribution tables, we act before the deadline.
Most multinationals manage payroll through a patchwork of local vendors with different contracts, different contacts, and different data formats. Ignite consolidates 16 markets under one managed service. When you expand into a new country, we're already operating there.
Your dedicated account manager knows your business. Not a call centre. A senior specialist who owns your account relationship.
In-house payroll has a structural single point of failure. Our managed service has none. If a key person leaves, gets sick, or relocates, your salary runs continue without interruption. The knowledge lives in the system, not the individual.
Ignite consolidates every APAC payroll run onto a single platform: compliance status, consolidated reporting, and an audit trail your Big 4 auditor accepts without question.
Real-time payroll data, compliance status, and statutory filing history — all in one platform view.
A 3-minute walkthrough of a multi-country payroll cycle, from data input to statutory filing, across Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong simultaneously.
When your expansion timeline says you’re opening in Vietnam next quarter, we’re already managing payroll there. Scroll to see full statutory coverage.

In documented cases where a client’s payroll officer resigned without notice, we’ve completed emergency onboarding in 72 hours, including data migration, parallel testing, and successful disbursement.
Yes. Most large multinationals start with 2–3 markets and expand the scope as they see results. We work alongside your existing internal teams and can consolidate reporting across both managed and self-operated entities.
We maintain dedicated local compliance teams in every market we operate. When a regulator announces a change, our local team captures it, assesses the payroll impact, and implements it before the effective date.
The ISAE 3402 Type 2 report is an independent attestation confirming our internal controls are not only designed correctly, but have been operating effectively over a defined period. For multinationals whose external auditors need assurance over outsourced processes, this report is accepted as sufficient evidence.
Yes. We operate in Malaysia and are familiar with M&A integration timelines. We’ll work from the date of engagement to collect employee data, configure EPF, SOCSO, and PCB registrations, establish your payroll structure, and be fully operational before your first disbursement date.
You’re assigned a dedicated senior account manager who owns your relationship end-to-end — not a helpdesk rotation. They’re a specialist in APAC payroll who understands your structure, not a ticket queue.
Ignite Human Resource Management System (HRMS) is guaranteed to improve productivity and make your life easier. We’ve built it for the future, streamlining payroll efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple payroll systems, providing unparalleled reporting capabilities and true multi-country payroll processing.
