What Paie & RH Solutions does

Paie & RH Solutions is a French payroll and HR outsourcing specialist headquartered in Pau, France, founded in 2004 by Nicolas Pironneau and Florent de Stampa. The company provides outsourced payroll production (fully outsourced or co-piloted via YEAP Paie), personnel administration (RHelp), HR legal and regulatory audit services, and professional training through its Paie & RH Academy. It serves over 1,100 clients across France — primarily PME, ETI, and grands groupes with 1 to 2,000 employees — and produces approximately 50,000 pay slips monthly.

The company's technology stack centres on a hybrid model combining proprietary software with value-added distribution. Its flagship YEAP Paie is a cloud-based payroll platform operating in two modes: Autonome (autonomous client use with functional support) and Copiloté (client produces payroll internally while Paie & RH experts secure compliance). The company also distributes and integrates third-party HR software including Lucca SIRH, Agrume, Empowill, and Octime GTA. The Scan 360° RH diagnostic tool analyses HR tools, processes, and organisational maturity, serving as both an internal validation methodology and a client-facing lead-generation mechanism. All solutions are tested internally within the company's own HR operations before client deployment.

The business model operates on annual subscription contracts with quote-based pricing tied to employee headcount and service scope, complemented by professional services fees for audit/consulting engagements and per-programme training fees. In 2025, the company was acquired by SDWorx, a major European payroll provider present in 27 countries, providing cross-border scale and integration with the SDWorx/YEAP platform. The company maintains ISO 9001, OPQCM, Qualiopi, and Great Place to Work certifications, with ISO 27001 currently in progress. Revenue is reported at €8.5 million HT (FY2025) in a constant growth trajectory.

Direct peers

• Silae: Leading French cloud payroll software vendor, widely used by payroll service bureaus and in-house HR teams. Highly comparable to Paie & RH's YEAP Paie offering and a key software-driven competitor in the same French SME segment.
• HR Path: France-based international HR consulting and services firm offering HRIS implementation, payroll outsourcing, and HR transformation. Direct peer in HR consulting/outsourcing for French SMEs and mid-market companies, with growing European presence.
• Cegedim SRH: French HR and payroll software publisher offering integrated HRIS and payroll outsourcing for mid-market French companies. Direct competitor in both software (TEAMSRH, LUCCA-like HRIS) and managed services, with comparable customer base of French SMEs and ETIs.
• Nibelis: French payroll and HR solutions provider combining SaaS payroll software with outsourcing services. Directly comparable business model: managed payroll, co-piloted offerings, and HR software distribution targeting French SMEs and mid-market clients.
• SDWorx: Parent company since 2025 and Europe's third-largest payroll and HR services provider, operating in 27 countries. Directly comparable in payroll outsourcing, HR software, and cross-border managed payroll services; Paie & RH is now the French arm of the SDWorx group.

Broad incumbents

• Workday: Global cloud HCM and payroll platform increasingly targeting large European enterprises. Competes with Paie & RH at the high end of the French market (grands groupes) and increasingly with HCM platforms that include payroll, though it does not match Paie & RH's regional French expertise.
• ADP (Automatic Data Processing): Global payroll and HCM leader with a large French presence (ADP France). Competes head-on with Paie & RH in payroll outsourcing and HR software for SMEs, ETIs, and large enterprises, but at significantly greater scale and with global coverage.
• Sage Paie & RH: Sage's French division offering Sage Paie cloud payroll software and HR solutions, distributed through a large partner and reseller network. Competes with Paie & RH's YEAP and software distribution model across the French SME and mid-market segments.
• Sopra HR (Sopra Steria): European HR software and services division of Sopra Steria, offering HRIS, payroll outsourcing, and HR transformation for large enterprises. Overlaps with Paie & RH in payroll outsourcing and HR consulting, but skewed toward larger corporate clients.

Emerging players

• Lucca: French HRIS software vendor whose product (Lucca SIRH) is distributed and integrated by Paie & RH Solutions. Adjacent competitor and partner: Lucca is moving upstream into payroll-adjacent HR workflows, and competes for the same modern French SME buyer that Paie & RH serves.
