Companies that use Paylocity

I noticed that Paylocity serves companies that actually make, build, or provide tangible services rather than pure software or tech companies. These are automotive parts manufacturers, HVAC installers, steel distributors, construction firms, healthcare providers, hospitality businesses, and local service companies. They operate physical locations, employ field technicians, run warehouses, manage restaurant staff, or provide hands-on care. Even the few tech companies in the dataset, like Cloud Inventory, focus on supply chain and physical operations rather than pure digital products.

These are established, mid-market companies rather than startups or large enterprises. The employee counts cluster heavily in the 51-200 range, with many in the 201-500 bracket. Very few show venture funding, and when they do, it's typically modest amounts or private equity rather than Silicon Valley-style growth capital. They describe expansion through new locations or adding services, not through explosive scaling. They're past the scrappy startup phase but aren't corporate giants.
