What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?
The product is differentiated in that it is lead by a tech saavy CEO and a company that genuinely cares about the customer and their needs. Payroll, Benefits, tax, and Time have always been incredible strengths with very solid talent modules built around it to support the evolving needs of customers like us.
