New Report Uncovers Gaps Between Client Expectations and Bureau Offerings, Highlighting Strong Opportunities for Growth

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NAPEO — isolved®, the most-trusted human capital management (HCM) partner, today announced the findings from its second-annual survey of administrative service organization (ASO), professional employer organization (PEO) and payroll service provider (PSP) firms. The findings provide a comprehensive snapshot of how service bureaus are managing client relationships, leveraging HR technology and addressing workforce dynamics.

The report, Pendulum of Opportunity: A Research Study on ASO, PEO and PSP Expansion and Evolution Amid Dramatic Employer-Employee Dynamics, revealed that 80% of ASOs, PEOs, and PSPs are refraining from offering new solutions their HCM vendor provides, despite clear client demand. While 54% of ASOs, PEOs and PSPs offer standard human resource (HR) analytics, for example, only 32% provide predictive analytics and benchmark insights.

Investing in broader analytics capabilities provides incredible opportunity for service bureaus as HR analytics is the number-one area of investment for HR leaders this year. Service bureaus, however, have their reasonings for holding back including, in order: (1) lack of confidence in early-stage product releases, (2) lack of client demand and (3) complexity of implementation. When looking at the difference between ASO and PEO responses, 90% of ASOs are holding back on new offerings their HCM vendor releases while only 67% of PEOs are doing the same.

“We are in a volatile world of work, and PEOs, ASOs and PSPs must evolve rapidly to stay relevant,” said Pragya Gupta, chief product and technology officer at isolved. “Our research shows a growing disconnect between employers and employees. HR needs support to stabilize dramatic changes and find middle ground. They are looking to create employee experiences that matter for both the employer and the employee and ASO, PEO and PSP firms are uniquely positioned to help them with that. Like HR, benefits and payroll professionals need access to the solution set that will best help them, ASO, PEO and PSP companies need a partner that’s going to inspire confidence in their offerings.”

In addition to holding back on new products, a majority of respondents also said they have no plans to add new managed or professional services this year — creating another potential competitive advantage for ASOs, PEOs and PSPs that are willing to expand their offerings. The majority, however, are willing to partner with their HCM vendor for services. Trust is critical and lacking in many partnerships. Only 14% of respondents are very confident in the level of support their primary HCM technology vendor offers.

Gupta added, “The top business concern of all service bureaus surveyed is acquiring new clients. To seize the opportunity, partnering with a vendor that provides top-notch support, extensive sales, marketing and implementation resources, along with a supportive community of peers, will be key. This collaboration will enable them to expand their capabilities, stay competitive, and drive mutual growth in the ever-changing workplace.”

Key findings include:

The top-three technology offerings service bureaus are most interested in adding for their clients are, in order: (1) safety, risk and compliance tools, (2) AI-based virtual assistants and (3) nothing (i.e., “I don’t believe any of these offerings are of interest to my clients).The top-three factors that are driving service bureaus’ decisions to maintain their current HCM technology partner are, in order: (1) No pressing need to switch, (2) vendor relationship and (3) the risk of disruption to operations.The top way bureaus help address the hesitation to change business models and adopt new HR technology for clients is by gradually introducing changes to minimize disruption, followed by providing comprehensive training and support.Only 30% of service bureau stakeholders surveyed expressed they were very confident in their primary HCM technology partner’s ability to prevent security breaches and safeguard sensitive employee and client data.

TOKYO, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Japan accelerates its national transition toward resilient urban infrastructure and automated logistics, Taiwan’s Unmanned Vehicle Alliance (UVA)—led by Global Shield Robotics (GSR)—has been advancing its comprehensive expansion into the Japanese market since April 2026. To mark this milestone, the GSR_UVA Alliance will host the “Taiwan Unmanned Vehicle Supply Chain Japan Industry Seminar” on November 10, 2026, from 13:30 to 17:00 at Meeting Room 2 on the 28th floor of Conrad Tokyo. Bringing together 17 elite Taiwanese hardware and software innovators, the alliance introduces a unified, non-China supply chain ecosystem spanning smart UAV command platforms, automated parking, and intelligent fleet logistics.

Driven by Japan’s stringent supply chain security standards and ongoing demographic shifts, municipal agencies and infrastructure operators are urgently adopting trustworthy automated solutions. The consortium bridges key technological gaps by integrating Taiwan’s world-class ICT, AI edge computing, and precision manufacturing with robust cyber-secure architectures. Among its core offerings, the alliance provides an integrated C2 platform featuring real-time AI computer vision and 3D spatial monitoring for disaster response, alongside 3drens’ InstaTMS platform to optimize last-mile dispatch routes with real-time IoT tracking.

“Our objective is not merely exporting hardware, but delivering a trusted, end-to-end operational framework,” said a spokesperson for Global Shield Robotics. “By integrating custom AIoT software with specialized hardware components, we offer Japanese partners a reliable, secure alternative aligned with Japan’s MIC technical standards and Level 4 BVLOS flight mandates.”

The alliance targets strategic partnerships with major Japanese System Integrators, government authorities, and top-tier logistics entities. Supported by Taiwan’s Small and Medium Enterprise and Startup Administration (SMESA) and Taiwan Innovative Software and Services Association (TISSA), the coalition plans to showcase its integrated solutions at an upcoming B2B2C technology summit in Tokyo this September, aiming to forge deeper cross-border cooperation and drive next-generation smart city transformations.
