Why choose Qtac Payroll desktop software?

You need to find the right solution for you and your business. And that might not fit the next person!

If you're an SME running your own payroll, or a payroll bureau looking for software to manage a professional operation, then you're in the right place.

If any of the following points chime with you, then maybe desktop payroll is the way to go.

security
Data security and privacy

Desktop software stores your data on your own computer or your company's network. It's less likely that someone who shouldn't see your data will get access to it, which can sometimes happen with online apps. If you're careful about who sees your data, you might prefer to keep it on your own computer where you have more control.

security
Offline access

Our desktop payroll software gives you the flexibility to work offline, even when you don't have an internet connection. It's a big plus for people who travel a lot, or live out in the sticks with poor internet access!

performance
Performance and speed

Desktop software usually runs much quicker since the payroll app is on your computer's hardware. No latency on your internet line. No relying on your cloud app provider to have invested in their servers.

compliance
Compliance

Relying on third party cloud suppliers can be an issue when it comes to meeting requirements of any recognised schemes you may be a part of. Desktop software, on your servers, allow greater control and make hitting those targets more achievable.

business continuity
Business continuity

Storing your desktop applications' data in the cloud is a well-known and reliable method. If your business relies on important cloud apps, you'll need to think about what happens if you can't use them anymore or if you lose internet connection. Fixing these issues can be expensive!

Quality payroll. Happy clients.

We're proud to work in partnership with our customers to improve what we do.
