Walk the Store adds Wagepoint to its tech stack shelves

Walk the Store, a CPG brokerage helping Consumer Packaged Goods brands get on store shelves and build lasting relationships with retailers, needed payroll software it could rely on without taking time away from its clients. Owner Lester Solomon, with over 20 years of experience in the industry, knew from the start of his business that he wanted to focus on his clients. Helping brands understand how retailers are thinking and building those retailer-brand relationships takes time, and he didn't want that time to be taken up with trying to figure out the ins and outs of processing payroll for himself.

Lester discovered Wagepoint through a previous employer who used it and decided to try it for his own business. The payroll software's ease-of-use was its biggest selling point - he didn't have to fumble through processing his pay runs. Core features like automatic payroll tax calculations, deductions and remittances were big draws. The platform offered flexibility to run payroll with confidence that all taxes were taken care of. Wagepoint's option to add income types to pay runs allowed him to easily categorize funds going toward pay cheques, such as regular pay, bonuses, or expense reimbursements. The transparency of the system meant he could see and understand exactly how much take-home pay would be deposited.

Lester was able to simplify payroll and avoid tax surprises at the end of the year. The transparency and ease of use gave him confidence in the payroll software. He was able to take back his time from payroll and go back to doing what he wanted - focusing on helping brands shine. The simplicity and comfort of dealing with Wagepoint allowed him to take back his time from payroll administration.
