Rippling

Rippling, founded in 2016, is a workforce management platform that unifies HR, IT and Finance on a single data platform. The system is designed to manage and automate the whole employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, in one place. A central claim is speed: hiring an employee anywhere in the world and setting up payroll, a corporate card, a computer, benefits and third-party applications such as Slack and Microsoft 365 can be completed in roughly 90 seconds.

The product line includes the Rippling Workforce Management Platform, alongside Payroll, Corporate Card, IT and device management, benefits administration and automated provisioning of third-party applications. Each of these functions is embedded in the onboarding workflow rather than handled as a separate process. Technical domains span HR technology, IT management and device provisioning, finance and payroll automation, cloud and SaaS platform engineering, enterprise application integration and workflow automation.

The company has raised more than $1.4 billion and is valued at between $13.5 billion and $17 billion. It serves thousands of customers and operates globally. Industry verticals include HR technology, IT management, finance and payroll, and business and workforce management software.

Rippling has been named one of Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers and recognised on the Fortune Future 50 and Enterprise Tech 30 lists. Its stated mission is to eliminate friction from running a business and to help businesses "run like masterminds".
