New SuiteApp for payroll management meets Oracle NetSuite SuiteCloud Platform development standards and best practices
LONDON, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IRIS Software Group (IRIS), a leading global payroll software provider, today announced that its SuiteApp has achieved the “Built for NetSuite” status. The new Staffology SuiteApp, built using the Oracle NetSuite SuiteCloud Platform, helps organisations pay employees more easily and efficiently.

“Businesses are looking for cloud-based payroll that’s built for a digital-first world, which ensures compliance with ever-changing legislation, that offers flexibility as payroll demands fluctuate. One in every six UK employees is paid via IRIS software or managed payroll services, and Staffology is our next-generation payroll platform,” said Stephanie Coward, managing director of human capital management at IRIS. “The Staffology SuiteApp combines our people management expertise with the power of NetSuite’s integrated business system to empower businesses to maintain control over payroll and respond to the needs of their employees.”
IRIS Staffology is a cloud-based payroll software that enables organisations to manage and pay their employees, and it is one of only a few applications which complies with the UK’s Construction Industry Scheme tax requirements. The new SuiteApp helps customers automate HR and payroll processes in NetSuite to save time and allow leaders to focus on more strategic activity like business growth and improving the customer experience.
“In the construction industry, payroll management is complex and must account for variables including unique project contracts, local labor laws and tax requirements, and subcontractor agreements. An integrated cloud business system helps manage these processes and ensure employees are paid accurately and projects are completed on time,” said Guido Haarmans, group vice president, SuiteCloud Developer Network and Partner Programs, Oracle NetSuite. “This new SuiteApp extends our robust solution for human capital management and helps NetSuite customers reduce payroll processing times and streamline reporting.”
Built for NetSuite is a program for NetSuite SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN) partners that provides the information, resources, and methodology required to help partners verify that their applications and integrations meet NetSuite standards and best practices. The Built for NetSuite program is designed to give NetSuite customers additional confidence that SuiteApps, like Staffology, have been built to meet these standards.
