When asked in an interview about the business journey of Reio, Charles said

“We started in late 2017 when we realised that companies were routinely paying for tasks that software could automate and that many people spent a lot of hours doing the repetitive work of updating information in Excel. We came up with the concept of eliminating the monthly payroll rhythm because of the repetitive processes involved; as employees, we are eager to see our own payslips – except there were always random deductions. We thought it could be better than questioning deductions and getting on HR’s nerves; we figured we could create software that would calculate and let people know immediately how their calculations were made to better understand their payslips.”
