Mercans Extends Footprint in Latin America by Increasing Presence in Colombia and Costa Rica

Aug 13, 2020



Los Angeles, Aug 13, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Mercans is increasing its already prominent presence in Latin America by adding staff and office space at its branches in San José, Costa Rica, and Bogota, Colombia. With its even stronger presence in South America, the industry-disrupting HRO service provider, expert in global payroll outsourcing solutions and multi-country PEO GEO services, talent management, and recruitment process outsourcing services (RPO), intends to enhance its unequivocal commitment to its clients in Latin America.

A leading global payroll outsourcing company, and an international PEO and GEO service provider, Mercans already operates in 140+ countries. "Our stronger presence in San José and Bogota will help Mercans to leverage its industry-leading knowledge of local regulations and provide clients with the accurate local support they need when doing business in Costa Rica and Colombia. We have hired additional Spanish-speaking HR outsourcing and global payroll specialists with a sound knowledge of Colombian and Costa Rican labor laws and employment regulations. Our local payroll outsourcing, PEO, and compliance specialists will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our payroll outsourcing and PEO services are in full compliance with the complicated labor, tax, and social security regulations in Colombia and Costa Rica," said Marko Taylor, CEO of Mercans.

Mercans started operations in Latin America with its first branch in Argentina in 2008. In 2009, Mercans opened its second office in Brazil and, shortly after, opened another one in Chile. Compared to other international HRO and global payroll outsourcing companies, Mercans has the broadest footprint in the region with formal representation in fifteen locations spanning across Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Uruguay, and more.

Strongly committed to growing an operational hub in Latin America, Mercans delivers the most personalized and most accurate services in the region and proposes unparalleled customer service for a more relevant local and regional offer. Besides, all the Mercans SaaS solutions, either for global payroll, HRM, international recruitment, or ATS, have been updated accordingly, facilitating the operations of multinational companies doing business in Colombia and Costa Rica in particular, and South America in general.

"Our Costa Rican and Colombian offices are the perfect opportunities to remind to all businesses operating in Colombia and Costa Rica that Mercans is a leading global payroll and international HRM outsourcing company with innovative products and services," indicated Marko Taylor. The goal of Mercans is to be able to deliver its services in every geographic area of operation in the continent with highly specialized in-country HR and payroll expertise, paying particular attention to local tax and legal compliance. "It's a strategic decision allowing to overcome the global mobilization and legal compliance challenges that the majority of our clients in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Latin America at large, are facing," continued Marko Taylor.

"Although we have been present in South America for several years, we are positive that it's a good time for us to have a stronger representation in such a promising market. Needless to say, our clients in Colombia and Costa Rica will get solid support from all of our highly specialized in-country experts. Ultimately, our goal is to become the number one expert for international PEO GEO EOR services and global payroll outsourcing in Colombia, Costa Rica, and the region," concluded Marko Taylor.

Mercans' teams in Colombia and Costa Rica are available during weekdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm to assist existing customers, as well as those who want to learn more about Mercans SaaS products and international services.

Raising connected kids

Raising connected kids

For many parents today, handing a child a first mobile phone feels like a milestone wrapped in mixed emotions. On one hand, it offers reassurance. A quick message after school, a call during an emergency or an easier way to coordinate family schedules can provide peace of mind. On the other, it opens the door to a digital world children are navigating at increasingly younger ages. As online learning, messaging, streaming and gaming become part of everyday childhood, parents face an important question: How can they give their children the independence they need while still providing proper guidance? The answer may lie not in limiting technology altogether, but in introducing it thoughtfully and building healthy digital habits together. Children need to understand that having a mobile phone comes with responsibilities, from managing their data and screen time to choosing appropriate content and communicating safely online. Parents, meanwhile, need practical ways to remain involved without constantly hovering over their children’s digital activities. One option available to families is Globe’s GPlan Junior, a postpaid line designed for dependents ages 7 to 20. Offered as an additional line under an eligible Globe Postpaid plan, it allows parents or legal guardians to manage their child’s connectivity while giving young users room to communicate, learn and access age-appropriate digital experiences. The plan includes unlimited calls and texts, 100 minutes of landline calls and 10GB of all-access data with rollover and data-swap features. It also provides access to Messenger Kids and Mobile Legends, as well as selected video, social and gaming apps. Families can choose one app from each category, with options including YouTube Kids, Netflix, Disney+, Viu, Viber, WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord, PUBG and Call of Duty. Through the GlobeOne app, parents can monitor data usage, check remaining allocations, manage Data Swap options and choose their child’s unlimited apps. A parent-managed postpaid account also removes the need to regularly reload credits or keep track of expiring promotions. More importantly, such tools can become starting points for conversations about responsible technology use instead of serving merely as restrictions. “As children become more connected, parents are looking for solutions that keep up with their family’s evolving needs,” said Jo Anne Illescas-Pique, senior director for Globe Postpaid. Digital responsibility can also extend to money management. Eligible GPlan Junior subscribers who successfully register for GCash Jr. may receive GCash vouchers, providing parents with another opportunity to teach their children how to save, spend and manage digital money within a supervised environment.
