How Ever.Ag built a global workforce without adding complexity with Deel and Workday

Ever.Ag builds technology for the agriculture and food supply chain. As the company expanded across multiple countries, managing its international workforce became increasingly complex.

Payroll processes varied by country, each with its own payroll administrator, payment structures, and compliance requirements. Hiring in new markets required either establishing legal entities, which would be a slow and costly process, or delaying growth opportunities. At the same time, international contractors were onboarded and paid through fragmented, manual workflows.

Critical workforce data was spread across disconnected systems. Employee lifecycle events such as hires, transfers, promotions, and offboarding were manually managed, increasing the risk of inconsistencies and compliance risks. Payroll results, pay slips, and tax documents were stored across multiple platforms, leaving HR and finance teams without a reliable, centralized source of truth.

"We were growing globally but our workforce infrastructure wasn't built for it. Every expansion created more complexity, not less." — Becky Sylvera, People Operations Director, Ever.Ag

Ever.Ag runs its global workforce on Deel, integrated natively with Workday as their HCM system of record. Employee updates made in Workday flow directly into Deel, eliminating duplicate entry and giving HR, finance, and payroll teams standardized workflows and consistent processes across every country they operate in.

• Using Deel as the EOR meant no local entities were needed. Ever.Ag could hire internationally from day one, backed by in-country compliance coverage.
• With Deel Payroll, HR, finance, and payroll teams gained shared workflows, consistent processes, and a single source of truth across countries.
• Using Deel’s Contractor services, Ever.Ag could onboard and pay international contractors through a standardized process, reducing administrative overhead and improving consistency across the workforce.

With Deel’s native Workday GPC integration, employee lifecycle events sync automatically from Workday into Deel’s payroll engine.

"Before Deel, every new country was its own project. Now we can move on a hiring decision the same week we make it." — Becky Sylvera, People Operations Director, Ever.Ag

With Deel in place, Ever.Ag now operates with a more consistent and scalable framework for managing its global workforce.

The operational improvements are measurable:

• Payroll processing time decreased by 36%, driven by automation and standardized workflows
• Manual data entry and payroll-related errors were reduced by 25% following Workday integration
• Onboarding timelines improved by 30%, enabling faster hiring of international employees and contractors

Manual payroll and contractor payment processes have been significantly reduced, allowing HR, payroll, and finance teams to collaborate through shared workflows instead of time-consuming reconciliation.

The compliance landscape has also improved. With Deel’s EOR infrastructure, Ever.Ag can hire compliantly in new countries without establishing legal entities—reducing regulatory risk and removing a major barrier to global expansion.

Automated data synchronization between Deel and Workday has strengthened data integrity and reporting.

Building the workforce infrastructure for what comes next

As the company continues to enter new markets, Deel will play a central role in that growth by further standardizing global payroll and hiring processes and enhancing workforce reporting capabilities.

Looking ahead, Ever.Ag is exploring Deel’s AI-driven features, including tools that can:

• Monitor and alert teams to local compliance changes
• Automatically detect payroll and contractor data discrepancies
• Provide clearer workforce insights to support faster decision-making

For a company operating across the complexity of global agriculture and food supply chains, having scalable workforce infrastructure isn’t just operational, it’s strategic.
