Practical Software Solutions finds a faster, simpler way to manage global contractor and EOR hiring

The challenge: growing internationally without growing complexity

Practical Software Solutions wanted to tap into Canada's talent market to support their operations. But one thing stood in the way. Without a local entity, hiring was anything but simple.

They'd tried to solve this before. A previous employer of record (EOR) provider fell short, leaving the team in search of a more reliable solution — and with higher expectations for whoever came next.

On top of that, project-based contractors were also in the mix. And managing different worker types across borders meant navigating varying compliance requirements, contracts, and payment processes — work that was pulling the finance team's attention away from higher-value priorities.

The solution: faster hiring, end-to-end workforce management, one platform

Practical Software Solutions now operates globally with G-P's Global Employment Platform, which gave them a unified solution to hire, pay, and manage both employees and contractors across borders.

G-P Contractor, one of three products that make up G-P's Global Employment Platform, gave Practical Software Solutions an easy way to hire and pay project-based workers. Clearer contract visibility and built-in compliance assurance replaced the admin headaches that had been pulling the finance team away from higher priorities.

G-P EOR addressed the other side of the equation. It allowed Practical Software Solutions to hire full-time talent in Canada without a local entity. The team was up and running in under a week while G-P handled compliant contracts, payroll, and local employment obligations directly.

Jake and team credited G-P's hands-on support as a key differentiator: clear explanations of country-specific requirements, professional service at every touchpoint, and a system that tied everything together in one place.

The impact: 50% productivity increase

Practical Software Solutions now has a repeatable model for international expansion that scales with the business. No new headcount. No legal infrastructure to figure out each time. Just one platform for all global needs.

Now, new-country onboarding takes less than one week, giving the team the agility to tap into international opportunities as they arise. Ten monthly compliance tasks that once required external legal counsel are now managed through G-P, reducing both cost and overhead. And team productivity increased by more than 50%, with Jake's team focused on growth rather than cross-border hiring logistics.
