Why Connect foundu to KeyPay?

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

Guest booking data in foundu and operations scheduling in KeyPay require manual coordination

foundu limitations compound the integration challenge: smaller market presence than Deputy and Employment Hero means fewer community resources and third-party integrations

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

KeyPay adds complexity: reporting is adequate for standard payroll needs but requires exports for custom workforce analytics or cross-referencing with other systems

Reporting across foundu and KeyPay requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

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