Between 200 and 5,000 employees, consolidated HR becomes the right call. Before 200, SMB suites work; after 5,000, Workday makes sense. Here's why the middle belongs to integrated mid-market platforms.
Under 200 employees, a lightweight SMB HR suite often works well. The HR team is small enough that the patchwork doesn't break anything visible.
Over 5,000 employees, a large enterprise platform like Workday starts to make sense — you have the internal engineering headcount to customise, and the integration overhead is absorbed by a dedicated HRIS team.
The middle — 200 to 5,000 — is where consolidated, opinionated platforms win. You're too large for SMB tooling, but too small to staff an HRIS team to wire Workday. This is PeopleVizio's centre of gravity, and why our product is designed for this band specifically.
