Why Connect Remote to Workday?

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

Remote uses a REST API while Workday uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Remote limitations compound the integration challenge: integration ecosystem with HRIS and accounting tools is growing but not as extensive as more established platforms

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

Production order data in Remote and inventory levels in Workday are reconciled manually, risking stock-outs

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

Client engagement details in Remote and time-tracking data in Workday do not align, making billing inaccurate

How We Help

Connecting Remote (hr & payroll) with Workday (hr & payroll) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Manufacturing businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of employees and contractors data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Remote uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Workday authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying employees between Remote and Workday by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

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

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

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

Maximise Billable Hours

When time-tracking and client data sync between Remote and Workday automatically, your consultants spend more time on client work and less on admin.
