HR and payroll software for mid-market companies across Latin America
Apdata serves 730+ companies with an integrated HR platform (Global Antares) covering payroll, time & attendance, benefits, and performance management across multiple countries and labor jurisdictions. The hiring mix is HR-heavy (half of open roles) alongside light engineering velocity, reflecting a mature product in steady operations mode rather than platform transformation. Pain points cluster around payroll accuracy, regulatory compliance (e-social transmission), and customer retention—typical friction for legacy HR/payroll vendors navigating local tax code complexity.
