Who it's for

US mid-sized businesses (Namely's own case studies and marketing target roughly 250-2,000 employees) that want a single HCM system instead of separate payroll, benefits, and HR point solutions.

What you get

A configurable HCM suite covering payroll, employee records, time off tracking, onboarding, and an employee mobile app in the base tier, with benefits administration, applicant tracking, performance management, and full time-and-attendance/managed-payroll/managed-benefits services available on higher-priced tiers.

How it works

Customers subscribe to one of four named tiers (Namely Now, Namely Plus, Namely Plus People, Namely Complete) billed per employee per month; the base tier is publicly priced while higher tiers with additional modules and managed services are quoted after a diagnostic call.
