About GPOD

Transforming workforce management through real-time technology, financial freedom, and community impact

Our Story

It all started with a simple conversation. Adam wondered, "Why does payroll have to drag on for hours?" Humaid responded with an equally important question, "Why should workers wait a month for wages they've already earned?"

That spark ignited GPODโ€”a fresh, fearless reimagining of payroll and workforce management. We didn't just tweak the old systems; we built something entirely new, designed to liberate businesses from administrative burdens and give workers control over their earned wages.

From instant payments, we steadily added smart automation, real-time insights, facial recognition, location tracking, and 24/7 support. Our crown jewel? AI Agentsโ€”digital helpers that streamline operations with unmatched efficiency.

Our Vision

GPOD envisions a world where financial freedom and workforce management coexist harmoniously, creating a virtuous cycle of prosperity for all stakeholders.

We believe that access to earned wages should be a right, not a privilege. By breaking down traditional payroll barriers, we're creating a more equitable financial ecosystem for workers while giving businesses the tools they need to thrive.

Our platform connects four critical stakeholdersโ€”workers, employers, investors, and councilsโ€”in an ecosystem where everyone benefits through shared data, real-time processing, and ethical financial practices.

By 2027, we aim to be the standard for workforce management across the UK, eliminating predatory lending practices and reducing NEET numbers while delivering ethical returns to investors.
