What Unit RH does

Unit RH is the investor-facing label for TPLPaye (legal entity: Touche Pas à la Paye), a French payroll outsourcing and HR services provider operating as a subsidiary of Amarris Groupe, an accounting firm founded in 1999. Headquartered in Saint Herblain near Nantes with operational coverage across Nantes, Paris, Rennes, Lyon, and Bordeaux, the company targets French small and medium enterprises (PME) and mid-size enterprises (ETI) with more than 10 employees that need to outsource or partially externalize payroll production, social declarations, and HR administration.

TPLPaye's core offering is built on a partnership-anchored technology stack: it operates as a certified Silae TOP100 distributor and Lucca integrator, with Silae Paie serving as the primary payroll engine covering 900+ French collective agreements with weekly regulatory updates, and Lucca (plus My Silae SIRH) serving as the HRIS layer with bidirectional synchronization. The product surface extends beyond payroll into adjacent modules including Silae BI for HR analytics, eDocPerso digital document vault, payroll audits (Audit de Paie), Qualiopi-certified training, and labor-law advisory services. The company produces 45,000+ payslips per month and supports 20+ years of payroll expertise across ~100 specialists.

The business model is a hybrid of usage-based pricing (per-payslip fees ranging from €3.90 to €31 depending on service depth and company size), professional services (setup, migration, audit, training), and recurring subscription-like contracts. Go-to-market combines a sales-led direct motion (consultation calls, bespoke proposals, on-site visits), inbound digital marketing (SEO, weekly newsletter, YouTube, LinkedIn, white papers), and referral flow from the parent Amarris accounting firm network. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but triangulation across payslip volume, pricing tiers, and headcount places estimated annual revenue in the $5M–$10M range.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sopra Steria (Sopra HR): Sopra Steria is a large European IT services group with an HR software division (Sopra HR) and adjacent HR services in France. It competes for larger HR transformation and payroll integration contracts where TPLPaye also engages.
• ADP France: ADP is a global payroll and HR services incumbent with established operations in France serving multinationals and large enterprises. It competes for ETI and large SME payroll outsourcing contracts that TPLPaye also targets.
• Cegid: Cegid is a major French cloud business software provider with a strong HR/payroll suite (Cegid HR) serving SMEs and mid-market companies in France. It overlaps with TPLPaye on payroll software and HRIS, though it operates as a software vendor rather than a managed payroll outsourcer.
• SD Worx: SD Worx is a European HR and payroll services provider with operations across multiple countries including France. It competes in the same SME/mid-market payroll outsourcing space but with broader geographic reach than TPLPaye.
• Sage (Sage Paie): Sage is a global accounting and payroll software vendor with a significant French footprint (Sage Paie) targeting SMEs. While primarily a software vendor, Sage competes with TPLPaye in the payroll software/SIRH layer that TPLPaye builds its services around.

Direct peers

• Nibelis: Nibelis is a French HR and payroll outsourcing specialist serving SMEs and mid-market clients with a similar Silae-adjacent delivery model. It is one of the most direct competitors to TPLPaye in the French managed payroll segment.
• Lucca: Lucca is a French HRIS vendor whose software TPLPaye implements and resells. As a growing HR platform competitor in France, Lucca overlaps with TPLPaye's HRIS integration services and could expand into adjacent payroll advisory areas.

Emerging players

• Kelio (Bodet Software): Kelio is a French HR and time management software provider serving mid-market companies. It competes with TPLPaye's Lucca-based HRIS offerings in the workforce management and HR software layer.
• Eurécia: Eurécia is a French HRIS solution targeting SMEs and mid-market companies with modules for time, leave, and HR administration. It overlaps with TPLPaye's Lucca/My Silae integration offerings in the French HRIS segment.

Others

• Silae: Silae is the dominant French payroll software vendor (950,000+ users) whose platform TPLPaye distributes and implements. While primarily a technology partner, Silae also increasingly offers payroll services directly, representing a partial channel-conflict risk.
