TraceEzy, a Jarrod McGrath venture

WORKFORCE COMPLIANCE & RISK
ASSURANCE PLATFORM

A governance layer designed to provide traceability, transparency, and confidence in how workforce payment rules are interpreted and applied.
What is TraceEzy
TraceEzy is a workforce compliance and risk assurance platform created in response to a persistent challenge observed across large organisations:
The absence of a defensible, traceable interpretation of industrial instruments, workforce rules, and pay-related decisions.
As workforce complexity has increased, through Awards, Enterprise and Collective Bargaining Agreements, legislative change, and system fragmentation, many organisations have struggled to maintain confidence in how rules are interpreted over time, not just whether outcomes appear correct.
TraceEzy addresses this gap by making interpretation, logic, and governance explicit, explainable, and auditable.

The Founder of TraceEzy
TraceEzy is a workforce compliance and risk assurance platform created in response to a persistent challenge observed across large organisations:

The absence of a defensible, traceable interpretation of industrial instruments, workforce rules, and pay-related decisions.

As workforce complexity has increased, through Awards, Enterprise and Collective Bargaining Agreements, legislative change, and system fragmentation, many organisations have struggled to maintain confidence in how rules are interpreted over time, not just whether outcomes appear correct.

TraceEzy addresses this gap by making interpretation, logic, and governance explicit, explainable, and auditable.

WHY TRACEEZY EXISTS
TraceEzy is a purpose-built solution designed to address the growing complexity and risk of modern wage compliance.
Across industries and geographies, compliance failures are rarely driven by intent.
They are almost always systemic.
Common patterns include:
  • Rule interpretation resides in individuals rather than systems
  • Decisions embedded inside payroll configuration with limited transparency
  • Compliance issues discovered only after payroll has run, audits begin, or regulators intervene
As regulatory scrutiny increases, and boards are held accountable for non-financial risk, organisations require confidence at the point decisions are made, not reassurance after the fact.
TraceEzy was built to support that shift.

WHAT TRACEEZY ENABLES

TraceEzy focuses on strengthening the governance layer that sits above payroll and workforce systems.
The platform enables organisations to:
Transparent Explainable Interpretation
Maintain transparent, explainable interpretation of workforce rules and industrial instruments
Defensible Audit Trail
Establish a defensible audit trail linking rules, decisions, and outcomes
Reduce Systemic Compliance Risk
Reduce systemic compliance risk before payroll execution
Assurance Through Traceability
Support board-level assurance through traceability, not intent
This represents a move from reactive remediation to proactive risk reduction.

PLATFORM PHILOSOPHY & DESIGN
TraceEzy is not a replacement for payroll, HR, or workforce management systems.
It is intentionally designed to:
  • Integrate into existing enterprise ecosystems
  • Strengthen governance without disrupting operations
  • Support explainability alongside automation
Enabled by advances in AI, TraceEzy focuses on clarity and accountability, not black-box decision making.
Explainable systems matter more than intelligent ones when outcomes must be defended.

TraceEzy Relationship to the Portfolio
TraceEzy has been built from years of advisory and enterprise delivery experience, informed directly by the patterns observed through Smart WFM.
Where Smart WFM operates at the point of execution — implementing and operating workforce systems at scale — TraceEzy addresses the upstream governance challenge: ensuring rules, interpretations, and decisions are clear, traceable, and defensible before execution occurs.
Together, they reflect a systems-level approach to governing work in environments where accountability, transparency, and trust are no longer optional.

Why This Platform Matters Now
Work has quietly become a governance issue.
As automation increases and accountability expectations rise, organisations can no longer rely on:
  • Assumed correctness
  • Tribal knowledge
  • Retrospective controls
TraceEzy responds to this shift by providing the visibility and traceability required to govern work as a system — supporting sustainable compliance, organisational trust, and long-term confidence.
