Real-Time Compensation Control for Retail & Hospitality Teams
Take full control of location-based pay, frontline bonuses, and high-volume promotions with complete compliance and agility.
- Manage hourly wages, merit raises, and bonus programs across regions and store locations
- Maintain compliance with evolving wage, overtime, and labor regulations at scale
- Adapt pay structures quickly during openings, seasonal surges, and organizational changes
Cut Weeks of Manual Prep Even with 100s of Stores or Locations
Whether you’re managing frontline staff, managers, or seasonal roles, Aeqium connects to your HR stack (Workday, ADP, UKG, etc.) to centralize employee data for comp cycles. Skip the mess of building store-by-store spreadsheets and launch faster, with less risk.
Many retail teams reduce comp cycle prep from 2–3 weeks to just hours.
Help Store & Location Managers Recommend Pay Adjustments with Confidence
Your local leaders know their teams best but they rarely have time or data to guide comp decisions. Aeqium gives them access to past comp history, salary bands, and performance info in one clean interface, so they can complete reviews quickly and fairly.
Flexible Pay Logic for Hourly, Managerial, and Regional Roles
Aeqium adapts to your org chart whether you're managing different merit logic for store managers vs. shift leads, or applying regional minimum wage rules. Build tiered comp cycles with different eligibility rules and approval chains across departments or locations.
Track Pay Reviews Across Every Store, Region, and Brand Line
Get real-time visibility into how your comp cycle is progressing by location, team, or leadership level. Know which regions are behind, where budget is tight, and what approvals are outstanding. Aeqium keeps your cycle on schedule, even across hundreds of locations.
Drill into Comp Trends by Brand, Region, or Employee Type
From corporate headquarters to frontline operations, build reports that show exactly how compensation varies by location, store format, or full-time vs. part-time roles. Support exec reporting, identify pay disparities, and improve planning across your org.
Send Clear Pay Updates to Frontline and Back-of-House Teams
No more manual PDFs or confusing spreadsheets. Aeqium creates personalized compensation summaries for every employee, whether they’re hourly, salaried, or seasonal. This way everyone understands their raise, bonus, and why they earned it.
People Teams Love Aeqium
Aeqium absolutely has a positive ROI for dbt Labs. We can easily customize it to match every iteration of our comp program, and it helps us and our managers make more thoughtful comp decisions. It’s made my life easier and is a big “W” for our people team.

Aeqium was a no-brainer. It costs us less than half of what we were being charged by Pave. It's easier to configure, it's easier for our managers to use, and our leadership team raves about it.
Aeqium has been instrumental in advancing our team's understanding of total compensation and has become the center of gravity for all things comp at WHOOP.
Other platforms want to fit you into a box and say, ‘this is how you should be doing it.’ but with Aeqium, we were in the driver's seat and could tell the tool how we wanted things to look.
Our compensation review ran so smoothly with Aeqium. Our people team, managers, and leadership found it very simple to use. Our CTO says it’s one of the easiest systems he’s ever used, especially for HR tools.
We have far fewer questions about the process and more of a focus on applying the compensation philosophy for their employees, which is a marked difference from previous cycles. Our managers estimate they complete their reviews in half the time and that there are 90% fewer errors in the data.

Aeqium significantly reduced the risk, lost time, and frustration that came from running our compensation planning. It's been a true game-changer for us at Braze.
Aeqium is highly configurable and simple for admins and users. We reviewed other tools where you’d need to pay extra for a contractor to configure them. We wanted to handle the setup ourselves but have help when we needed it, and Aeqium made that easy.

Aeqium has completely changed the way we do comp at Braze. It gives us a data-forward approach where managers feel confident about their recommendations and department heads can truly analyze the decisions being made. We have a very nuanced total rewards program, so Aeqium’s flexibility is key.
