BiGGER, an Australian software development company, deployed the Stellar Disbursement Platform to streamline payroll for its 100+ contractors across South America, reducing monthly processing time from 8 hours to minutes. The company now hosts SDP instances for humanitarian organizations like Casa Tochan, enabling efficient digital aid distribution.
BiGGER, a software development firm providing services to early-stage startups, faced scaling challenges managing payroll across multiple countries with manual crypto transfers to dispersed workers. The company adopted the open-source Stellar Disbursement Platform (SDP), transforming their payroll process to disburse over $1 million to 100+ recipients seamlessly, reducing processing time from 8 hours monthly to minutes. Employees in Argentina benefit from USDC stablecoin payments, providing currency stability amid local devaluation. BiGGER's success led to a host model where they operate SDP instances for humanitarian organizations; Casa Tochan, a Mexico City migrant shelter, used BiGGER's SDP to distribute cash assistance for career training to nearly 50 residents within hours. The case demonstrates how open-source Stellar tools enable both commercial payroll efficiency and humanitarian financial inclusion.
