01Overview

Operations software for a distributed organisation paying 214 contributors across nine countries without a payroll department.

02The problem

Contributors submitted hours in a chat channel and were paid by whoever held the wallet that week. Nobody could say what a workstream had cost, and two people were paid twice in the same month.

03What we built
01

Approved by a role, not a friend

Every submission is approved against a role with the trail stored beside the payout, so an approval survives the approver leaving.

02

One run, one batch

Approved work becomes a single payout batch with duplicate detection, so the same hours cannot be paid twice.

03

Cost per workstream, visible

Spend rolls up by workstream and month, which gave the organisation its first honest budget conversation.

04The result

Payout day went from a multi-day scramble to a short review, and duplicate payments stopped entirely.
