Trace (tracehq.com) is a workforce planning, headcount management, and procurement platform where companies plan and manage headcount as their most important investment, offering instant workforce analytics and headcount planning. Trace was backed by 500 Global and Uncork Capital, was acquired by Paylocity (now branded "TraceHQ, A Paylocity Company"), and the standalone Trace app is being sunset in early 2026 as the product folds into Paylocity for Finance headcount planning. Trace publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, or SDKs.
