Zenefits

HR
Velocity5.0

HR software for benefits, payroll, and compliance

TriNet turns the old Zenefits platform into an integration hub for SMB HR.

hrpeointegrationsglobal-employmentai-assistantcompliance
Current state
TriNet (the platform formerly Zenefits) is layering partner-powered modules onto its PEO core: global employment via Multiplier, IT provisioning via Electric, and SaaS access automation for Slack and Zoom. Recent releases lean on integrations and service tiers rather than first-party feature depth.
Where it's heading
The direction is a connected HR system of record where employee changes propagate automatically into adjacent tools, backed by optional managed-service tiers like Payroll Pro and People Pro. TriNet is buying breadth through partnerships instead of building each capability in-house.
Prediction
Expect more partner-powered modules and tighter automatic provisioning across the SaaS stack, with the TriNet Assistant positioned as the conversational front door to all of it.
