We’ve been perfecting our stock compensation management software for the past 15 years – making sure we’re at the top of our game when it comes to helping companies harness the power of employee ownership.

There’s no doubt that equity compensation management can be tricky – especially if your company is working with spreadsheets or outsourcing different aspects of it to a number of different providers.

The beauty of the Global Shares platform is that it does all the administrative heavy lifting, allowing our team of expert equity professionals to become an extension of your team. From onboarding your plan participants on our platform, to processing sales and payments – we have the tools and the expertise to take the hassle out of managing your employee stock plan.

Here are some of the features our clients consistently love.

 

1. Business intelligence tools are vital

Thanks to our software solution, it doesn’t have to be any more stressing over spreadsheets to write reports.

Our BI reporting tool collects and collates all the data you need from our portal and creates comprehensive reports for founders, employees, investors, and partners.

You don’t have to be a tech expert to use our platform – it’s extremely user-friendly for mapping grants by location, line charts to determine equity trends, scatter plots to see fair value correlations, and much more.

 

2. The product is fully customizable with your branding

Our equity management software solution will look like an extension of your business.

Your branding, your logos and your tone of voice will all feature on every page of your participants’ equity portal. You can also sign up for our bespoke communications packages so that you can keep participants up to date with news and information about their plans. The visually appealing, HTML emails are hugely popular with our clients.
