Our Story
Canopy Workforce Solutions was originally founded in 1998 as People-Trak. The company initially focused on on-premise (on-prem) HR software and quickly became a leader in the HRIS space, serving organizations of all sizes—from small businesses to large enterprises. The solution was designed to help HR professionals centralize all their data and processes in one place, offering an intuitive user experience for both employees and administrators. With robust features and unparalleled flexibility, People-Trak could be customized to meet virtually any organizational need. Customization and flexibility became the cornerstone of our product philosophy.
Then came the cloud.
So, what happened to People-Trak? The transition to the cloud was slow and late, a reality we had to face. Meanwhile, new competitors with sleek, well-funded cloud solutions rapidly emerged. As a result, People-Trak fell behind. But our commitment to meeting our clients’ needs never wavered. In 2017, we rebranded as Canopy and undertook the monumental task of rebuilding our platform—recreating all the same features, functionality, and, most importantly, flexibility that could meet the diverse needs of our clients.
We also recognized that while we can offer a comprehensive solution, not every organization needs every feature. That’s why we’ve committed to:
-
Providing fully optional and customizable modules and functionality
-
Offering integrations with a wide range of third-party providers, from payroll and ATS solutions to financial systems and ERPs
