The Situation Before Tako

“We were drowning in manual processes,” says the Stark Bank team. The payroll scheme we used was a constant headache. "Every time we hired someone or gave a promotion, it took days to adjust the payroll because the accountant needed at least three business days to respond to us. We had to plan the hires according to the payroll deadlines—how crazy is that?"

Stark Bank was dealing with multiple different tools: an accountant for payroll, as well as separate systems for admission, vacations, overtime, and medical leave. "Nothing communicated, and there was no reliable source of employee data. We tried adding new tools to help, but they only created more work because they didn't solve the main problem. The situation was so bad that we had to hire someone just to check all the data manually."

Why We Chose Tako

“Now, the whole team can hire people whenever they want, without worrying about payroll deadlines. I can hire data analysts who really help us make Stark Bank better. I don't need to increase the payroll team because Tako allows Stark Bank to scale with the same HR team due to the automations. The platform is so smart and easy to use that you don't even need to be a payroll expert—Tako experts solve everything.”

Results with Tako

"Tako not only saved us time; it completely changed our operation," says StarkBank. "Payroll used to be a week-long nightmare—five days of reviews, plus two days to finalize everything. Now? At most one day. The data goes to the finance department already grouped and anonymized, so I don't even have to worry about it."

The savings were enormous. "We are saving R$16,000 in personnel savings, and up to R$4,000 in tools that we no longer need."

The impact on the team was enormous. "No one comes to me anymore asking about their pay stubs, vacations, or anything else. Tako explains everything, so they don't have to ask. It's a relief, really. Now I can focus on what really matters, and I've even been able to promote people based on the solid employee data we have now."
