Sapling provides employee management and onboarding software that connects existing HR and productivity tools (e.g., ADP, G Suite, Lever, Slack) and applies AI to anticipate employee behaviors and automate workflows. The product provisions and links tools so HR teams can run workflows inside Sapling instead of toggling between multiple systems. Customers are mid-size companies with distributed workforces (roughly 100–1,500 employees); named customers include InVision, DigitalOcean, KPMG and Kayak. InVision reported Sapling saved the company 1,000 hours by speeding communications and improving engagement. The company, three years old and based in San Francisco, has grown its headcount to about 50 employees. Sapling is positioning itself as a retention and engagement tool for geographically distributed teams while competing in a crowded HR software category.
