SaaS to manage and automate travel incentive bonuses for field employees.

The post highlights a specific HR and payroll challenge: how to fairly and systematically compensate traveling employees with incentive bonuses. The company is actively searching for a solution, and a comment confirms that other companies have similar ad-hoc systems in place. This clearly shows a need for a specialized tool.

Opportunity: A SaaS product could address this by allowing HR managers to set up complex rules for incentive pay, such as extra pay for remote locations, duration-based bonuses, and weekend work. It would integrate with scheduling or project management tools to track travel and automatically calculate bonuses, then feed that data into existing payroll systems like ADP or Gusto.

Target Market: Industries with large mobile workforces, such as construction, energy, consulting, and field services.

Product Form: A web-based dashboard for managers to configure rules, manage employees, and oversee payouts, potentially with a simple portal for employees to view their accrued incentives.

Expected Revenue: A per-employee-per-month (PEPM) model, priced at $5-$10 per traveling employee, would be appropriate. For example, a company with 100 field employees could generate $500-$1000 in monthly recurring revenue (MRR). Achieving a client base of 40-50 such companies could lead to an estimated MRR of $20,000-$60,000. This suggests a potentially lucrative B2B SaaS opportunity.
