About Skydropx

Skydropx is a logistics tech company from Monterrey, Nuevo León. It started in 2014 with one goal: make shipping easier for businesses in Latin America. What began as a way to connect parcel carriers in one place is now a platform that manages more than one million shipments every month in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. More than 30,000 companies use it. The platform connects online stores with courier services, sends shipping updates, and lets people track packages in real time. Basically, it helps packages stop vanishing into the great mystery cloud where everyone asks, “where is my order?”

Skydropx has always been about saving time, lowering costs, and making operations easier. So when the company grew to 500 employees, the internal side had to keep up too. Payroll and HR could not move like a delivery van with one flat tire. They needed the same speed, order, and visibility that the company gives its customers.

What limitations did they face in their payroll process before Runa?

Before Runa, Skydropx had a payroll system that covered the basics, but still needed too much manual work. Calculations, stamping, incidents, severance, and mass employee registrations all had separate steps. Every payroll cycle took time. A lot of time. The full process could take up to four hours. For a company that lives and breathes automation, that felt like using a spoon to empty a swimming pool. The old system also made it hard to connect employee data with payroll calculations.

Every salary change, incident, termination, or update needed someone to step in and fix things by hand. That meant more chances for errors and more time lost. As Skydropx kept growing, the issue became harder to ignore. Payroll for 500 people needed a cleaner system. Without a strong link between HR data and payroll, the team had too much friction. Useful time was going into repetitive admin work instead of planning, analysis, and managing the workforce better. Tiny tasks were stealing the day like raccoons with office badges.

How did Runa transform their payroll and Human Resources management?

Runa made the change obvious from the start. By bringing payroll and HR into one platform, Skydropx made the whole process much faster. Payroll went from around four hours to about 30 minutes. Calculations, stamping, and payments became automated, which removed repeated manual work and helped reduce errors. Bulk incident uploads, IMSS management, bimonthly variables, and social contributions also became easier to handle. Instead of jumping between tools and checking everything by hand, the team could manage payroll from one place.

As Daniel Torres explains, “With Runa, we process payroll in less than 30 minutes and have full visibility into incidents, variables, and movements, something that used to take us hours.” The cloud based platform also made teamwork easier because several people can work at the same time. Employee information now lives in digital profiles, not scattered files that hide like socks in a washing machine. Employees can check payroll receipts, update personal information, and manage requests directly in Runa. Vacation requests, disability leave, and personal days are also connected to payroll workflows. That makes the process easier for employees and for the admin team. Less chasing. Less guessing. Less payroll hide and seek.

What factors influenced the decision to choose Runa?

Skydropx was not looking for a basic payroll calculator. The team needed one platform that connected employee management, payroll calculations, incidents, compliance, and payments. Runa stood out because it brought those pieces together. Speed mattered. Ease of use mattered. Having payroll and HR in one place mattered even more. For a tech company built around automation, internal tools had to pass the same test. They needed to be useful, fast, and not make people want to scream into a spreadsheet.

Centralized information, less manual work, and clear workforce data matched the way Skydropx already thinks about operations. As Daniel Torres says, “When we reviewed Runa’s capabilities and saw how it integrated payroll and Human Resources into a single platform, we knew it was the next step to optimize our operation.” Today, Skydropx manages payroll with more speed, accuracy, and confidence. Cutting the process from four hours to 30 minutes helped the company bring its internal operation closer to the same automation and efficiency that power its logistics business.
