Our story
Puzzl started as a gig staffing company, and realized there was no development-friendly way to payout high volumes of W2 workers efficiently, automatically, and compliantly.
To ensure other companies didn’t run into the same problem, we decided to build Zeal, a payroll API that enables customers to build their own payroll products.
