What tools do you integrate with for payroll processing?

Xero, KeyPay, Deputy are among the 150+ tools we support. If your industry relies on specialist software, we build custom connectors via API so nothing gets left out of the automation.

How much does payroll processing automation cost?

We quote after a free assessment where we map your financial services workflow end to end. This ensures the price reflects exactly what you need — no unnecessary features inflating the cost, and no surprises after kickoff.

Will I need to change my existing financial services tools or processes?

No. We build automation around your existing financial services tools and processes. Our approach is to enhance what you already have, not force you onto new platforms. We connect your current systems together so data flows automatically without your team changing how they work.

What happens if something goes wrong with the automation?

Every workflow includes built-in safeguards: automatic retries for temporary failures, clear error notifications, and fallback paths for edge cases. Our 98% client retention rate reflects the reliability our clients experience long after launch.

Can you automate just part of our payroll processing process?

Definitely. A phased rollout lets us tackle the biggest pain points in your payroll processing process first. Each phase is standalone and delivers measurable value, so you are never waiting months to see results.
