terra is the brand of Vina Payroll Outsourcing (VPO), part of I-GLOCAL Group. terra combines HR software with a team of specialists, so HR departments spend less time on administration and more on people and business growth.
Over years of advising businesses in Vietnam on tax, accounting and labor, I-GLOCAL saw that companies needed more than expert advice. They also needed a team that could take on day-to-day HR work directly.
That need led I-GLOCAL to found VPO and build the terra brand, starting with payroll and growing into HR software and other HR services.
In December 2020, I-GLOCAL founded Vina Payroll Outsourcing (VPO), the company that develops and operates terra. VPO started with payroll for Japanese companies in Vietnam, clients with very high standards for accuracy and compliance.
Daily payroll work showed the team it needed a better system. In March 2021, VPO began building its own payroll software. In August 2021, terra HR System launched as a SaaS product with its first 9 features.
In October 2021, terra moved its payroll service to a BPaaS model (Business Process as a Service). Specialists run payroll directly on the terra platform, so clients work with one point of contact and follow progress more easily.
In May 2022, VPO was selected for funding under a Japanese government program that supports technology businesses in Vietnam, based on its potential in HR Tech.
By August 2022, terra was serving more than 100 clients from Japan, the UK, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, New Zealand and Vietnam.

In June 2025, the information security management system of VPO was certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Client payroll and HR data are managed under this international standard throughout processing.

VietnamAs part of I-GLOCAL Group, terra carries forward working principles that value responsibility, transparency and continuous improvement.
Report, inform, consult: issues reach you early, together with a proposed fix.
After every payroll cycle, the team reviews the process and adjusts it before the next one.
Simple, Open, Speedy: few steps, transparent information on both sides and quick action when something changes.
The team prepares ahead for deadlines and regulation changes, so you do not have to chase them.
At terra, technology does not replace the HR team. terra takes on the repetitive payroll, tax and insurance work, so HR has more time for employees and for the growth plans of the business.
Whether you want to digitize HR processes, keep up with new regulations or outsource part of the work, terra is ready to listen and propose the right support. A terra specialist replies within one working day.
