I build the connection your software vendor said was impossible. Payroll to job costing, HR to accounting, the twenty-year-old system nobody wants to touch — wired together and watched.
One engineer on your data, not a ticket queue.
Six systems, no agreement. Every connection here is a person, a spreadsheet, or a promise someone made in a meeting.
One layer in the middle. Each system keeps its own habits. The relay translates between them, checks the work, and keeps a record.
Entered once. HR hires; the relay maps the fields payroll actually needs; ADP has the worker in seconds. The same pattern runs to Plexxis, CMiC, and QuickBooks.
New hires and employee changes went into BambooHR, then someone re-entered them in CMiC and ADP every week.
Crews move between projects constantly, so the re-entry was never a one-time job. Payroll errors and employee records that disagreed with each other followed from it.
Integrations start at $4,000, scoped and fixed before work begins. If you’d rather I keep watching it than hand it off, monitoring starts at $0.50 per employee per month. No task meters, no seat licences, no bill that grows because your business had a good month.
If it has a database, a report export, a file drop, or a screen a person can log into, the data can move. “No integration” is usually a product decision, not a technical wall.
The shape is always the same: a short look at your real data, then one direction working where you can watch it, then two-way and error handling. You see something move early, not at the end.
Occasionally an upstream change moves a field. That’s why both ends validate before writing, and why a failure names the record that failed instead of dying quietly. The fix is a mapping change, not a rebuild. If something fails at 2am it retries, then parks the record with the reason attached and raises an alert — you wake up to three exceptions with context, not a week of missing data.
You do. It runs in your environment where practical, and it comes with the mapping documented, so another engineer can pick it up. Keep the code, or keep me — that stays your call after the build, not before it.
Encrypted in transit, credentials in a secrets store, least-privilege service accounts, and no copy of your data parked anywhere it doesn’t need to be.
