Streamline Workflows Across Your Tech Stack

Technology can be a great resource to help small business owners make data-informed business decisions, especially when using best-in-class accounting solutions and HR systems. However, dealing with separate systems that don’t talk to each other is both stressful and time-consuming. If you have ever manually entered data from one platform to another,  or find yourself spending hours merging multiple spreadsheets from different apps, then you know the pain of relying on disconnected systems. 

Are you tired of wasting time on manual tasks that HR and accounting tools should be able to streamline? Read on to learn about the benefits of integrating the platforms you use to run your business. 

What Is Product Integration? 

Product integration is the process of combining different software components or systems to function together as a cohesive unit. One major benefit is data syncing, which eliminates the need to re-enter data into multiple platforms or manually export and upload spreadsheets across systems just to get the analytics you need to make informed business decisions. 

For example, when your HR and accounting systems integrate, they seamlessly exchange data, giving you a complete financial picture and helping you close your books faster. Integrated applications operate in a coordinated manner rather than requiring human intervention to combine data.   

Key Product Integration Benefits for Small Business 

Integrating your tech stack benefits small businesses in many ways, from improving operational efficiency to improving data accuracy and enhancing decision-making capabilities. Key benefits include:  

Automated Data Syncing

With product integration, data automatically syncs between tools. Take an integration between a training tool and an HRIS, for example. An integration like this saves time by automatically creating training accounts for new hires when you add them to your HRIS, and automatically updating cost centers if an employee moves between departments.  Using your HRIS as the source of truth and syncing data across connected systems also reduces the potential for errors that can result from manual data entry.

Easy Access to Data-Driven Insights

When using integrations, you won’t have to cobble together reports from different systems in order to get the information you need to make data-driven business decisions. Instead, you’ll be able to quickly and easily access financial and people analytics, including workforce costs, productivity metrics, and other key performance indicators (KPIs). 

Employee Expense Management

Product integration streamlines the way HR tools and accounting software share data about employee-related expenses, such as payroll costs, leave balances, benefits premiums, expense reports, and more. Smooth transfer of this kind of data helps the company maintain accurate, up-to-date financials at all times. 

Regulatory Compliance

Both HR and accounting systems require accurate data for regulatory compliance and reporting purposes. Product integrations can ensure that data is consistent and current across multiple software applications, making it easier for you to track and report compliance while also reducing the potential for audit findings.

Budgeting and Forecasting

Integrating HR tools with your accounting software can greatly simplify the budgeting and forecasting processes and help improve the accuracy of your organization’s financial planning. When these systems integrate smoothly, real-time HR data, such as workforce costs, turnover rates, and benefits expenses, goes directly to your accounting platform, giving you a complete financial picture and paving the way for precise forecasting and accurate budgeting.
