TriNet

TriNet provides HR solutions and services to small and medium-sized businesses. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Bookkeeping and Payroll, Human Resources and Risk Management. They are a large team, 1,001 to 5,000 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

TriNet is based in San Leandro, California and around since 1988. Their site is trinet.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with TriNet, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
