Integrate Expense and Time & Attendance Data in no time with Papaya’s OneData Cloud Connector 

After years of economic instability, lockdowns, and rapid shifts in where and how people work, more companies are prioritizing digital transformation to build a more resilient business. A whopping 74% of business leaders list digital transformation as their top priority and investment in digitalization tools is expected to reach $3.4 billion by 2026.

The wave has increased adoption of automated workforce management tools like OneData and ERP to automate and modernize functions like HR and Finance. But those systems operate in siloes, with no data sync between them – undermining the overall efficiency companies are looking for.

To truly complete the process, companies need office integration – ensuring data moves smoothly within the entire office ecosystem. So far, it’s been a bumpy journey. Moving payroll data between systems has been slow and clunky.

That’s where Papaya Global steps in.

Last year, Papaya introduced the revolutionary OneData Cloud Connector, a powerful tool that can sync payroll data from any HR system or file to the Papaya Platform.

Now, Papaya’s Cloud Connector goes even further – integrating expense data between systems seamlessly through a simple file import.

Papaya decreases time for expense data integration by 90%

Integrating the modern office so that every system is “speaking” to every other one – is essential for data integrity. Without automated sync, the process can be time consuming and prone to error.

Before Papaya introduced the advanced OneData Cloud Connector, syncing expenses between a payroll platform and widely used applications such as SAP Concur, HiBob, or Expensify typically required dedicated data mapping based on item definition. It was time consuming to set up again and again every pay cycle, and often failed because the requirements were so exacting.

Syncing data also typically required dedicated API integrations which take time and resources – but still might not meet your needs. In many cases API integrations demand customization that can eat into your development resources.

Sometimes, payroll teams were even forced to import the data manually by entering the expense description, amount, data, category, VAT, and more.

With Papaya’s system, the one-time mapping covers the payroll data for each cycle, automating the sync. Payroll teams can reduce manual syncs by 95%.

Papaya’s platform processes all the expenses data, matching it to the relevant salary item. If a new expense item is updated, it is automatically associated with the salary as a salary update and taken into consideration in the payroll summary calculation.

The OneData Cloud Connector’s new expense data integration feature works with any EMS using a simple file import. The result is 100% accurate for expense data and 45% increase in cycle efficiency – at no additional cost.

Save time with automated T&A sync

While the concept of time and attendance seems simple and straightforward – people sign in when they start their workday and sign out when they finish – syncing T&A data is surprisingly complicated. Different work shifts have different regulations. For example, night shifts have different specifications than day shifts.

Papaya handles the mapping based on the T&A system structure. Our platform can process your data, summarize it, and send the relevant information as salary updates.

As with our expense data sync feature, the T&A sync works with every type of workforce management software, saving you time and effort regardless of how you are tracking hours for your workforce.

Unifying all things global payroll will better empower HR, finance, and business leaders with a consolidated view of your workforce.
