Varun Anand

"We chose Pave because of the interface and the flexibility it gives our team... it's a phenomenal product."
Adra Long
VP of Total Rewards
"We love our working partnership with Pave.”
Tatyana Levit
Director of Global Compensation
"Pave's Compensation Planning module has been most helpful for us. When all the elements tie together and it’s set up properly, particularly permissioning, the ability to ensure the right people can see the right things is fantastic. It’s a much, much better process than anything we could do with spreadsheets—and we did try (it was not pretty)."
Jacob Wallenberg
VP, People & Talent
"I'd absolutely keep using Pave—there's still so much opportunity ahead of us. It's been a genuine partnership, and it's exciting to think about what we can build together next."
Anne Strickland
Executive Director of Compensation
"From a market pricing perspective, having real-time data is key."
Michael McLernon

Merit Cycle
Optimal
Your AI is only as good as the data you feed it.
Make Pave your compensation system of record to unleash the potential of agentic AI inside a secure, governed platform. Avoid the privacy and security risk of pasting your company’s most sensitive comp data directly into general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini or hastily built internal apps with brittle permissions.
Data Sources
+
Build your comp data warehouse. Set up persistent data feeds from your ATS, HRIS, and Equity Management Systems, integrate traditional survey providers, and manage every other comp dataset in one centralized platform.
Pave Market Intelligence
+
Unlock market intelligence available only to Pave clients: real-time compensation benchmarks, workforce trends, and competitive intelligence from 9,000+ integrated Pave customers. Real-time data is current the moment pay changes unlike survey data that is refreshed once a year.
Permissions
+
Enforce your personalized permissions to ensure that the Pave Agent only returns what each user is cleared to see. Ensure your sensitive comp data and decisions never reach the wrong person.
Workflows
+
No more toggling between systems. Manage your job architecture, market price your jobs, run merit cycles, set up team view dashboards, and communicate total rewards. All in one platform.
Agent
+
Fueled by your data sources, Pave’s market intelligence, and the skills you manage in Pave, the Pave Agent turns multi-step tasks into autonomous workflows. All trained to the nuances of your compensation philosophy and program design.
Connections
+
Connect Pave to the outside world via MCP and API. Take your permission-controlled comp data into the AI tools and systems of your choice.
