What eRoad Software does

eRoad Software (易路软件; legal entity 易薪路网络科技（上海）有限公司) is a Shanghai-headquartered, privately-held HR technology vendor founded in 2004 that builds a compensation-centric, cloud-native human capital management platform for large and mid-sized enterprises. Its core product, People+, is a one-stop HR management cloud platform covering the full employee lifecycle — recruitment, core HR, workforce/time management, payroll, performance, commissions, and analytics — and is used by 8 million users across 1,000+ enterprises in 100+ countries with 40+ system languages. The technology stack combines a proprietary salary calculation engine (advertised at 99.99% accuracy) with deep compliance coverage (50+ privacy regulations and 480+ city-level social-insurance and housing-fund rules) and is deployed across Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Huawei Cloud (Kunpeng certified), and Azure.\n\nThe company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting multinational corporations, state-owned enterprises, and large private companies across manufacturing, retail, logistics, hospitality, gaming, and education. Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions on People+, supplemented by payroll outsourcing services, the standalone 薪智 (XinZhi) compensation-data platform, the 易薪/易个税/汇薪易 payroll-tax sub-brands, and increasingly by the iBuilder AI Agent platform launched in 2022 with 39 pre-built HR agents. Notable enterprise customers include Jinjiang Hotels China, Shimao Group, Aden Group (26,000+ employees, 25 countries), Yusen Logistics, Virtuos, CHARLES & KEITH, Laiyifen, Goodbaby, Naked Group, Levi's China, and Wellington International Schools. The company has raised late-stage capital from Hillhouse, SIG China, Eastern Bell Capital, and Zhejiang Silk Road Fund, with a ~$140M round in November 2022 representing its largest disclosed financing to date.\n\nEcosystem partnerships span hyperscalers (Alibaba, AWS, Huawei, Azure), communication platforms (WeChat, DingTalk, WeCom), enterprise software (SAP, Power BI, BPM), government infrastructure (China State Taxation Administration), financial institutions (HSBC for cross-border payroll), and global workforce-management vendor Kronos. Trust posture is supported by ISO 27001, ISO 9001, CMMI L3, China's Grade-3 Cybersecurity Protection, High-Tech Enterprise certification, Cloud Native Computing Foundation HR SaaS membership (the only domestic member), and SOC 2/SOC 3 audits by Ernst & Young.
