Paylocity Holding Corp PCTY

Technology SIC 7372 - Services-Prepackaged Software Nasdaq

We are a leading cloud-based provider of human capital management ("HCM"), finance and IT software solutions. Our unified, easy-to-use platform helps businesses streamline HR, finance, and IT operations, manage spend and talent, and build culture and connection with artificial intelligence ("AI") embedded directly into everyday workflows to save time, reduce manual effort, and support better decision-making. Excluding clients acquired through acquisitions, as of June 30, 2026, we provided our software-as-a-service ("SaaS") solutions to approximately 44,400 clients across the U.S., which on average had over 150 employees.

Effective management of human capital, finance and IT operations is a core function in all organizations and requires a significant commitment of resources. Organizations are faced with an ever-changing employment landscape, the complexity of increasingly geographically dispersed employees, and managing hybrid workplaces. At the same time, employees' expectations are rising, and organizations need to prioritize communication, connection, and collaboration among their employees to differentiate how they attract and retain talent and build a culture of loyalty. Many companies also operate without the infrastructure, expertise or personnel to implement or support large and complex systems in today's dynamic environment. Existing solutions offered by third-party service providers can have limited capabilities and configurability while other enterprise-focused software vendors can be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to implement and manage. We believe that modern organizations are better served by SaaS solutions designed to meet their unique needs, delivering fast time-to-value, and providing their employees with the most engaging experience available.
