Why Connect Deputy to Workday?

Employee records must be updated separately in Deputy and Workday, causing payroll discrepancies when changes are missed

Guest booking data in Deputy and operations scheduling in Workday require manual coordination

Reporting across Deputy and Workday requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Online orders in Deputy and in-store inventory in Workday are never in sync, frustrating customers

Manually copying data between Deputy and Workday wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

No single source of truth when employees live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Deputy limitations compound the integration challenge: integration with accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB works well, but real-time sync can occasionally lag behind by several hours

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Deputy and Workday aligned

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 Workday 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 Workday authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
