From Gold to Platinum: Reflecting on Dapt’s Incredible Journey with ADP Marketplace

When I started working with Dapt's investors and founders in Q1 2025, I immediately saw the incredible potential in what the team had built. Dapt had a compelling core vision: solving the painful, complex financial friction that project-based businesses face every day. My mission coming in was simple: help focus our strategy, accelerate product delivery, and scale our go-to-market execution.

By August 2025, that focus yielded our first major marketplace breakthrough: we officially launched our flagship integration with ADP® on ADP Marketplace and soon after earned our status as a Gold partner, the second-highest tier in the organization's partner program.

Fast forward to today, and our adoption among ADP clients has exceeded every expectation.

Driven by rapid client growth and proven platform reliability, Dapt has officially been elevated to an ADP Marketplace Platinum partner.

Going from our initial debut with integrations for ADP Workforce Now® to Platinum status in under a year is a testament to the hard work of our entire team, the strength of our foundation, and the massive demand for real-time job costing among ADP customers.

Bridging Payroll and Project Profitability

From my earliest conversations with finance and operations leaders in construction, trade contracting, professional services, and government contracting, one pain point was always clear: ADP handles payroll masterfully, but getting that labor data back into project-level accounting, job costing, certified payroll reporting, and other systems like QuickBooks Time or JobTread was a constant struggle of manual work and auditing delays.

Dapt serves as the automated bridge between ADP Workforce Now (and ADP TotalSource®) and your project accounting systems:

By linking ADP payroll data back to specific projects automatically, we turn days of administrative labor into minutes, giving leaders clear, real-time visibility into their actual margins.

What Platinum Partner Status Means for ADP Clients

Achieving Platinum status places Dapt in an elite tier of high-performing digital HR and financial integrations on ADP Marketplace. It serves as an independent validation of our security protocols, system uptime, and customer satisfaction.

For our clients and partners, we deliver:

• Proven Technical Reliability: Deep, bi-directional API connections built to handle complex, multi-project data synchronization at scale.
• Zero-Friction Compliance: Automated workflows for certified payroll, prevailing wage, and union tracking that help eliminate manual compliance risks.
• Deeper Strategic Collaboration: Closer alignment with ADP enabling us to continuously refine and expand our joint capabilities.

Looking Ahead

Reaching Platinum status isn't a finish line, it's momentum. As we look forward, we are continuing to invest heavily in our product roadmap, building out deeper integrations to help make our platform more self-service, expanding accounting connectors and integrations, and ensuring Dapt remains the premier platform for project-driven businesses.

I want to thank our entire team at Dapt for their dedication, our founder for establishing such a strong foundation, our partners on the ADP Marketplace team for their trust and support, and our clients for choosing Dapt to power their financial workflows.

If you run payroll on ADP and want to eliminate manual spreadsheets while unlocking true project profitability, we'd love to show you what Dapt can do.
