Why are companies still conducting their compensation reviews in spreadsheets? The answer often lies in the need for flexibility and customization. Companies want the freedom to choose what information and data points to share with managers to help them make the best pay decisions. Managing this process manually, however, is time-consuming and prone to many errors.

Imagine conducting compensation reviews that allow for flexibility, while automating tasks that in the past slowed you down in spreadsheets. That's the vision behind Kamsa.

Lola Han, Founder & CEO of Kamsa, saw this need firsthand after a decade of managing compensation cycles for companies like Zendesk. Frustrated by the lack of tools to automate routine processes, she became the first to launch a comprehensive compensation solution, Kamsa, in 2020.

Kamsa offers a modern approach to compensation management, leveraging reliable market data across 60+ countries and 2,000+ jobs; it provides companies with the insights needed to make data-driven, fair pay decisions for both cash and equity compensation, all in one solution.
