The best system for a Philippine manpower or security agency.
For a Philippine manpower or security agency, NexusWorkforce is the most complete fit — it is the only option that combines full PH statutory payroll (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR), agency-to-principal billing (D.O. 174, EIS-ready), and PADPAO / PNP-SOSIA compliance with deployment-based DTR. Here is an honest look at how it compares with Sprout, PayrollHero, TrackTik, Belfry, and WinTeam.
The short answer
PH payroll tools (Sprout, PayrollHero) pay staff well but don't do agency-to-principal billing, PADPAO wage orders, or PNP-SOSIA compliance.
Global security suites (TrackTik, Belfry, WinTeam) lead on guard tours and dispatch but have no PH statutory payroll, compliance, or EIS billing, and price in USD.
NexusWorkforce is purpose-built for the whole PH agency operating model — payroll, billing, and compliance in one system — with local support and peso pricing (₱3,000 + ₱150 per deployed person).

Head to head
How NexusWorkforce compares, one by one.
NexusWorkforce vs. Sprout
PH payroll / HR
Sprout is a solid, PH-based payroll and HR platform with clean statutory computation for general businesses.
It is not built for agencies: no agency-to-principal (D.O. 174) client billing, no PADPAO wage-order engine, no PNP-SOSIA tracking, and only partial deployment-based DTR across multiple principals.
Best for: A general PH SME paying its own staff. A security or manpower agency outgrows it on client billing and compliance.
NexusWorkforce vs. PayrollHero
PH shift payroll
PayrollHero does PH shift time-and-attendance and payroll well, including face-verified clock-in.
Same agency gaps as Sprout — no agency-to-principal billing, no PADPAO/SOSIA compliance, and no multi-client cost-center billing.
Best for: PH shift workforces that pay their own people. Not the right shape for agency-to-client billing.
NexusWorkforce vs. TrackTik
Global security
TrackTik is excellent at guard tours, dispatch, and incident reporting for North American security firms.
No Philippine statutory payroll (SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG/BIR), no PADPAO wage orders, no PNP-SOSIA, no EIS billing, and USD quote-based pricing.
Best for: Global security operations that need advanced field tooling. A PH agency would still need a separate payroll and compliance system.
NexusWorkforce vs. Belfry
US security
Belfry is a modern US security operations platform with strong scheduling, field ops, and billing.
Built for the US market — no PH statutory payroll, PADPAO/SOSIA compliance, or EIS-ready billing; USD pricing.
Best for: US-based security companies. Not localized for Philippine agencies.
NexusWorkforce vs. WinTeam
US security / janitorial
WinTeam is a comprehensive US back office (accounting, payroll, operations) for security and janitorial firms.
US-centric — no Philippine statutory tables, PADPAO/SOSIA, or BIR EIS billing; enterprise USD pricing.
Best for: Large US security/janitorial firms. Overbuilt and mislocalized for a PH agency.
Comparison FAQ
Straight answers.
For a Philippine manpower or security agency, NexusWorkforce is the most complete fit. It is the only option that combines full PH statutory payroll (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR), agency-to-principal client billing (D.O. 174, EIS-ready), and PADPAO / PNP-SOSIA compliance with deployment-based DTR — the exact workflow an agency runs. General PH payroll tools (Sprout, PayrollHero) cover pay but not agency billing or licensing compliance; global security platforms (TrackTik, Belfry, WinTeam) cover guard operations but have no PH payroll, statutory, or EIS billing.
Yes. TrackTik, Belfry, and WinTeam are built for North American security firms and price in USD; none handle Philippine statutory payroll, PADPAO wage orders, PNP-SOSIA tracking, or BIR EIS billing. NexusWorkforce is the Philippine-built alternative that covers the payroll, billing, and compliance side of a PH agency, with local support and peso pricing.
Not on their own. Sprout and PayrollHero are general Philippine payroll and time-and-attendance platforms — strong at paying staff, but they do not generate agency-to-principal client service invoices (D.O. 174), run a PADPAO wage-order engine, or track PNP-SOSIA credentials. A security or manpower agency using them typically still bills clients and tracks compliance in spreadsheets.
NexusWorkforce is a flat ₱3,000/month Back Office License plus ₱150/month per personnel deployed and billed to a client — about ₱180 effective per person at 100 deployed. Sprout and PayrollHero are roughly ₱200–300 per employee, quote-based. TrackTik, Belfry, and WinTeam are USD, quote-based, and generally priced for larger enterprises.
Not as its core focus. NexusWorkforce is back-office-first — payroll, client billing, compliance, and deployment DTR with geofenced clock-in. Advanced guard-tour, NFC-checkpoint, and dispatch features are the strength of the global security suites. If your priority is the PH back office and compliance, NexusWorkforce leads; if it is advanced field-patrol tooling, a global platform may fit alongside a separate PH payroll system.
