Built for the way you run payroll

One payroll platform. Two operating models.

Whether you manage payroll for multiple clients or run payroll for your own organisation, Ocean Across gives you the processing capability, visibility and control to manage the entire operation from one connected platform.

One platform. Different priorities.

Payroll bureaux and employers run the same payroll fundamentals — but the way they manage them is very different.

Ocean Across is designed around both.

01

Payroll Bureaux

Manage multiple employers, payrolls, frequencies and deadlines without losing sight of the wider operation.

02

Employers

Manage your organisation's payroll with clear processes, controlled access and visibility across every pay run.

For Payroll Bureaux
Built for multi-company payroll

See every payroll from one operational view.

The challenge of bureau payroll isn't simply processing another company. It's knowing where every client payroll stands and where your team needs to focus next.

Ocean Across brings payroll activity across your client portfolio into one central view.

01

See what is ready

Identify payrolls ready to progress.

02

See what is waiting

Keep outstanding payroll activity visible.

03

See what needs attention

Surface exceptions and payrolls requiring review.

04

See what is complete

Maintain visibility across completed payroll activity.

Built to operate at scale

More clients shouldn't mean more repetitive administration.

Use consistent workflows and central controls across your payroll portfolio while retaining the flexibility required for individual clients.

  • Multiple employers and payrolls
  • Different pay frequencies
  • Central payroll status
  • Bulk payroll activity
  • Company-level configuration
  • Structured review workflows
  • Team and user access
  • Exceptions and outstanding actions
  • Reporting across payrolls

Manage by exception.

Your team shouldn't have to open every payroll to discover whether something needs attention.

Ocean Across helps bring the payrolls requiring action to the surface so processors can focus their time where it is actually needed.
