Why Connect KeyPay to SimPRO?

KeyPay limitations compound the integration challenge: reporting is adequate for standard payroll needs but requires exports for custom workforce analytics or cross-referencing with other systems

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

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

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

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

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

Online orders in KeyPay and in-store inventory in SimPRO are never in sync, frustrating customers

On the technical side, KeyPay uses a REST API with API key authentication, and SimPRO authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
