Complete Visibility. Proactive Control. No Surprises.
Most platforms require manual tracking through spreadsheets or only alert you to issues after they occur. Aeqium provides real-time monitoring and proactive controls across your entire cycle. Track submission progress against timelines, enforce budget constraints automatically, control who sees what data, and flag unauthorized edits before they impact your cycle. The difference? You see everything as it happens and prevent problems before they escalate, ensuring smooth cycle execution from start to finish.
Monitor Cycle Progress and Catch Issues as They Happen
Track submissions against due dates, budgets, and timelines in real time. Aeqium's cycle monitor shows you exactly where every manager stands, which teams are over budget, and what needs attention right now. See calibration status, identify bottlenecks, and address issues as they happen. The difference? You catch problems at the source instead of discovering them five steps later when you have to unwind approvals, recalibrate budgets, and rebuild what's already been completed.
Flexible Budget Controls That Prevent Overruns Automatically
Configure top-down or bottom-up budgets that match your planning approach. Set separate budgets for merit, bonus, equity, and other components. Control whether managers can submit recommendations over budget or get blocked automatically. Configure holdbacks that give you reserve capacity for special adjustments. Control who can see budget data at each level. Aeqium enforces your budget rules in real time, so you maintain control without constant manual monitoring.
Complete Audit Trails and Automated Compliance Monitoring
Maintain comprehensive records of every change, approval, and communication throughout your cycle. Aeqium automatically flags potential compliance issues, tracks full edit history with timestamps and user attribution, and logs all communications for audit purposes. When auditors or executives ask questions, you have complete documentation of what happened, when it happened, and who made each decision.
Integrate your HR data. Automate cycle prep. Save weeks of work.
Aeqium includes live integrations with your HRIS, Payroll, Equity Management Tools, and ATS.
Skip weeks of error-prone spreadsheet prep – Integrating your HR tools and configuring a cycle takes ~2 hours on average.

People Teams Love Aeqium
Aeqium absolutely has a positive ROI for dbt Labs. We can easily customize it to match every iteration of our comp program, and it helps us and our managers make more thoughtful comp decisions. It’s made my life easier and is a big “W” for our people team.

Aeqium was a no-brainer. It costs us less than half of what we were being charged by Pave. It's easier to configure, it's easier for our managers to use, and our leadership team raves about it.
Aeqium has been instrumental in advancing our team's understanding of total compensation and has become the center of gravity for all things comp at WHOOP.
Other platforms want to fit you into a box and say, ‘this is how you should be doing it.’ but with Aeqium, we were in the driver's seat and could tell the tool how we wanted things to look.
Our compensation review ran so smoothly with Aeqium. Our people team, managers, and leadership found it very simple to use. Our CTO says it’s one of the easiest systems he’s ever used, especially for HR tools.
We have far fewer questions about the process and more of a focus on applying the compensation philosophy for their employees, which is a marked difference from previous cycles. Our managers estimate they complete their reviews in half the time and that there are 90% fewer errors in the data.

Aeqium significantly reduced the risk, lost time, and frustration that came from running our compensation planning. It's been a true game-changer for us at Braze.
Aeqium is highly configurable and simple for admins and users. We reviewed other tools where you’d need to pay extra for a contractor to configure them. We wanted to handle the setup ourselves but have help when we needed it, and Aeqium made that easy.
