Zellis – the UK and Ireland’s largest provider of payroll and HR software, has won Software Product of the Year at the CIPP Annual Excellence Awards 2024 just three weeks after winning the Payroll & HR Software Product Award at The Rewards 2024. The company also won Payroll Software Supplier of the Year at June’s Global Payroll Association (GPA) Awards.

The CIPP Annual Excellence Awards 2024 were held last night at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. Payroll professionals from across the UK came together to celebrate the industry’s best in talent, technology, and managed services. The CIPP Awards are the payroll profession’s longest-running independent awards programme. They were established to recognise the important role that payroll and pensions play in the UK economy.

Zellis was presented with its CIPP Software Product of the Year award by sports personality Gabby Logan, The judges commended Zellis HCM Cloud, describing it as:

“A product that is compliant, user-friendly, enables best practice and is well supported. Tonight’s winner not only provided excellent video testimonials, which brought their entry to life, but had clear customer feedback which showed detailed innovation.”

Zellis was also highly commended in the CIPP’s Payroll Service Provider of the Year (over 2,501 payslips per month) category. Judges acknowledged the company’s “extensive training programmes and a thorough performance management system, as well as their accreditations being well documented, clearly showing their team size and composition.”

David Woodward, Chief Technology & Product Officer at Zellis, said:

“This fantastic award is a welcome recognition of our continued commitment to payroll innovation. It comes just a few months after the launch of Zellis HCM AIR – a major product upgrade that deploys cutting-edge AI and Realtime payroll calculation to enhance functionality and user experience. This award is a huge testament to the leading capabilities of our product and it marks the cumulation of a remarkable awards season in which Zellis has been triple-crowned by the GPA, The Rewards, and now the CIPP.”

We extend our thanks to this year’s judges, and our warm congratulations to all the finalists and winners who were recognised at last night’s ceremony. It’s a truly transformational time for payroll, and Zellis is delighted to be playing a key part in shaping the industry’s future.”
