How We Help

Based in Gippsland, Victoria, Clever Ops understands the tools Australian Hospitality & Tourism and Retail & E-commerce businesses depend on. We connect Deputy to KeyPay with purpose-built integrations that handle employees and shifts sync reliably at scale. On the technical side, Deputy uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and KeyPay authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Deputy and KeyPay in sync, even as your business doubles.

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

Our integrations include automatic retries, error queuing, and real-time notifications. If something fails between Deputy and KeyPay, your team knows immediately and the system self-recovers where possible.

Amplify Deputy Strengths

Deputy excels because drag-and-drop shift scheduling with templates and auto-scheduling saves hours of roster creation for multi-location businesses. Connecting it to KeyPay ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses Deputy and KeyPay. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.
