Has anyone else realized payroll is not just another integration?

At first I treated payroll like something customers could connect separately and handle on their own and at the time it felt completely outside the scope of what we were building

Over time our platform became the place where customers manage most of their actual operations

Scheduling worker activity reporting and most of the data leading up to payroll already lives inside our product so now users constantly ask why they need to leave the platform to pay people

The weird part is anytime that experience feels disconnected or clunky they still associate it with our product anyway

It feels payroll becomes part of the product experience whether you intentionally build it or not

Curious if anyone else building workflow heavy software has hit this point yet
