David Liu, his wife Carley Roney and their business partners, Rob Fassino, and Michael Wolfson founded The Knot Inc. in 1996. Today's a iconic global brand whose purpose is to enable everyone to celebrate the moments that make us.

As a leading global organization, this is your opprotunity to future proof your HCM solution.

Our story began in 2015 when 4 best friends that worked for the big 4 decided that they wanted to EVOLVE the HCM industry.

But what did they come up? The world of HCM vendors is crowded, so where does Darwinbox fit in comparison to the Legacy HCM, Legacy ERP, and Small to Mid Market vendors?

In less than 10 years, Darwinbox took a unique approach to HCM, by becoming the world's first Employee Experience Gateway. With the ultimate goal of making Darwinbox the one solution your employees log into every day!

In 2017, if you could buy a Porsche or a Tesla, which car would you have bought? Only one can drive by itself today.

Darwinbox extends outside HCM covering aspects like Travel & Expense, Help Desk, Social and Awards / Recognition. Darwinbox is also accessible in the flow of work via Teams and Slack.

Global is at the core of Darwinbox. Over 100 countries are supported from a localization perspective, over 30 languages are delivered (including double byte characters), and we support 12 native country payrolls. While you are currently in 16 countries today, we will be there when you expand to the next 16!

Built with AI in mind from the beginning, this has allowed Darwinbox to provide AI for Employees, Managers, Administrators, and in Analytics. It's also allowing us to rapidly introduce additional AI each quarter.

What will the future look like for Enterprise organizations? It will be powered by AI Agentic Agents that span every solution, so how is this achieved?

This past November (2024), a new translation layer for AI tools was introduced call the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Darwinbox became MCP compatible in July 2025.

Over a thousand customers are ready for the future with Darwinbox, will you be one of them?

Darwinbox completes 100% of our own implementations. It starts with a collaborative, customer focused approach, called Inflexion. This approach allows enterprise organizations to go live in 6 months or less.

Darwinbox provides their customers with a robust implementation team that contains executive level contacts, an assigned project manager, a primary solution consultant, a primary data conversion specialist, and a primary integration specialist. Other Subject Matter Experts are brought in based on the modules.

As an AI focused organization, we leverage AI to assist with the Implementation, but since the software is built on nex gen technology, all setup / configuration is done using no code / low code, and all tools are available to customers, including Integrations!

Every customer is given a named Customer Success Manager. This is not a sales role. They are fully accountable for your health and are measured by their customer's referenceability and NPS scores.

But we also want you to continue to mature the solution, that's why we give customers access to an Application Maintenance & Support specialist to ensure that you continue to mature Darwinbox, and help through changes such as M&A, Integration Updates, and general Upgrades.

This illustrates the flow of data from Darwinbox to your Payroll vendor(s) and to bswift for US Benefits. All employees will access Darwinbox as their Employee Gateway.

Darwinbox create the RIVeR Framework so customers can access their Global Payroll information in a single pane of glass. The framework also allows Darwinbox to add native country payrolls quickly.

All components of Payroll flow through Darwinbox's RIVeR Framework.

This is the current road map for Darwinbox to deliver native payroll.
