In essence, the Contigo solution is a mobile service that assists founders at early stage with HR and business operations. Its key advantage is providing all the essential HR functions startups need, including hiring, payroll, attendance, coaching, and internal communication. Additionally, the AI assistant "PAi" continuously monitors HR tasks that busy founders might overlook.PAi notifies users of the right tasks at the right time, without requiring app access each time. By only logging in when needed, founders can save time and manage HR efficiently.Beyond drafting contracts and applying for certificates, the "Employment" feature provides a secure document repository that allows users to request employment verification even after they have left the service. The "Attendance" feature manages employees' clock-ins and clock-outs, working hours, and leave or vacation requests.The "Payroll" feature automatically generates monthly payroll ledgers, allows easy management through the accountant interface, and provides a one-stop service for generating and delivering payslips after salary payments. The "Coaching" feature offers two services: reviewing individual or team performance and conducting internal surveys as needed.For aspiring entrepreneurs, Contigo also offers "STu," which provides startup guidance and labor and tax knowledge, and "CLog," a platform for internal communication.A particularly notable feature is "EVAN." EVAN analyzes consultation content and automatically drafts advisory documents based on relevant labor laws, court rulings, and administrative interpretations. This allows users to shorten time compared to writing similar advisories, maintain draft quality consistency, and minimize result variations among labor consultants. Targeting Labor Law Firms with a 20% Market Share GoalOver the next five years, Contigo plans to focus on the labor law firm market to strengthen its presence. Its goal is to capture a 20% share of this market. To achieve this, the company will expand regional partnerships for joint sales and secure a partnership with the Korea Certified Public Labor Attorneys Association. Currently, Contigo is conducting joint sales with two firms.The company also plans to continue expanding its small and medium-sized enterprise customer base. It aims to secure 10,000 clients. To support this goal, it will leverage the Naver Commerce Solution Market to enhance responsiveness and upsell additional features to companies already using Contigo through partner law firms. The platform is already available on Naver Smart Store.For businesses and employees not currently using Contigo, the company is developing a standalone version of EVAN so that they can address labor-related issues effectively too.jyhong@chosunbiz.comThis article was written in 2025 and reflects information available at the time of writing.
