About
Wayzim is a leading comprehensive solution provider of intelligent logistics system in China, providing advanced, reliable, intelligent equipment, and diversified scenario services for major domestic express transport, logistics and e-commerce enterprises. Currently, the company has expanded its business scope to many countries and regions around the world, and is committed to building itself into a world-leading intelligent logistics equipment and intelligent manufacturing enterprise.
Challenge
Wayzim needed to quickly deploy talent in USA, Thailand, India, Ethiopia, South Korea and Philippines to support its business expansion and provide after-sales service in those new markets. Each market had its own business environment with different laws and regulations, leading to unexpected challenges and risks due to lack of knowledge in these new local markets.
In addition, sourcing overseas talent with the required industry experience in the niche field of intelligent logistics equipment proved to be challenging. Wayzim needed to provide a compensation and benefits package that was equally or even more competitive than local competitors to influence talents’ employment decisions. Therefore, Wayzim decided to use Atlas’s Employer of Record (EOR) services to support business expansion and provide compelling benefits and experience for overseas employees.
“Intelligent logistics equipment is a niche industry and it is not easy to source overseas talents with required industry experience. We need to provide a compensation and benefits package that are equally or even more competitive than local competitors to influence talents’ decisions. Atlas helped us to achieve it.”

Solution
Atlas provides direct EOR services in over 160 countries, enabling Wayzim to work with one global partner to support its expansion in all the different countries they had identified. This saves Wayzim the trouble of sourcing different in-country local providers and solves the challenge of inconsistent service quality across markets.
In daily operations, Wayzim works with one global Account Manager, who acts as the main point of contact to help coordinate resources within Atlas from payroll to legal and compliance to support client’s needs in all the markets that it operates in. Meanwhile, Wayzim’s overseas employees are supported by employee relationship consultants to answer any inquiries and requests they have. As all services are delivered by Atlas’s own employees, the response speed and service quality are consistent.
The Atlas HXM platform provides an easy way for Wayzim to manage its overseas employees’ entire life cycle across different markets from onboarding and paying their salaries and benefits, all the way through off-boarding. Wayzim is also able to search employment related requirements in 160 countries through the platform, and receives alerts when laws and regulations change, as well as research and information on new markets to support future expansion decisions.
Impact
“Using one global EOR service provider to ensure communication efficiency and service quality is one of our key considerations when choosing partners. The Atlas HXM platform provides us with global visibility into every market we operate in, and our overseas employees are also supported by experienced local experts for any questions they have.”

Agile expansion
Wayzim has partnered with Atlas for over a year and is still expanding its global footprint and growing with Atlas, with some employees newly onboarded in 2023. Atlas’s direct EOR model and global coverage enables Wayzim to respond to business needs quickly, onboarding employees in new markets in just a few days.
Competitive benefits
In addition to statutory local benefits, Wayzim’s overseas employees are also entitled to additional benefit programs offered by best-in-class international providers that are comparable to those offered by larger organizations, providing the company a competitive advantage in attracting talent.
One global partner
Using one global EOR service provider to ensure communication efficiency and service quality was one of the key considerations for Wayzim partnering with Atlas. While the Atlas HXM platform provides Wayzim with global visibility into every market it operates in, its overseas employees are also supported by experienced local experts providing consistent experience.
Full compliance
Understanding and complying with local laws and regulations is a time-consuming task, which is especially hard to achieve in a business-first scenario. With the Atlas HXM platform, Wayzim can easily search and get information of employment related requirements in different markets, supported by local employment law experts to ensure full compliance.
