Welcome to SaaS Brew, a daily newsletter where we share useful SaaS tools and workflows for founders, builders, and small business owners.
Each edition highlights one product, explains what it does, why it matters, and who it is for. No hype. Just tools worth trying.
Today's brew looks at a problem that hits every company building a distributed team:
You want to offer retirement benefits to your employees. But your team is spread across eight countries. Setting up a 401k works for your US employees, but what about your engineers in Portugal, your designer in Singapore, or your customer success lead in Mexico. You start researching country-specific pension plans. Each one has different rules, compliance requirements, and administrative overhead. You would need separate providers, separate integrations, separate reporting systems.
The alternatives are not great. You could offer higher salaries in lieu of benefits, but that does not build long-term loyalty. You could limit hiring to countries where you already have benefits infrastructure, but that shrinks your talent pool. You could outsource to a global PEO, but the fees are steep and you lose control. Most companies just skip retirement benefits for international employees altogether, creating a two-tier system that weakens your employer brand.
You need a way to provide consistent retirement benefits to every employee, regardless of location, without managing dozens of country-specific plans.
That is where Redii fits in.
Redii delivers retirement benefits through one unified plan that covers over 150 countries. No country-by-country setup. No patchwork of providers. Just one platform that integrates with your existing payroll and HR systems. It partners with BlackRock, Allfunds, and Willis Towers Watson to give employees access to institutional-grade investment options, while a dedicated implementation manager handles onboarding and payroll integration. Built for companies hiring across borders, Redii removes the administrative burden and lets you focus on growth while your entire team gets access to the same retirement benefit.
