Press release
Group Elephant business EPI-USE and datascalehr, an AI-native global payroll API vendor, recently entered into a brand-new relationship aimed at refining and simplifying global payroll integrations for MNCs. It combines datascalehr’s API with EPI-USE’s know-how in HR/Payroll services and proprietary software for MNCs, substantially raising the bar for ease of payroll integration for large, complex MNCs that also has to cater for small employee populations in multiple countries, serviced by local payroll providers.
datascalehr’s global payroll API is enabled by AI models drawing on decades of payroll experience, designed to obviate the need for hard-coded data connectors between a central HR system of record with multiple time and attendance systems and payroll providers. This allows for speedier reconciliation of payroll and HR data globally, significantly reducing new system implementation timelines and dramatically improving ongoing payroll integration for large, complex enterprises, especially those dealing with changing local market conditions and employee transfers. EPI-USE will leverage its payroll services and own software assets, augmented by datascalehr’s API and associated models, to deliver ‘Integration as a Service’.
“Global HR, time, and payroll integrations are especially complex when dealing with myriad in-country vendors, languages and differing data formats. Integration for large employee population countries is typically based on enterprise technology like SAP, but many MNCs still rely on spreadsheets, manual procedures and ad-hoc interventions, for smaller employee populations or ‘long tail countries’. This can lead to inefficiencies and mild chaos, with every change in the technology or provider landscape” said Jan van Rensburg, Managing Director at EPI-USE Global Services. “Our alliance with datascalehr allows us to manage the entire integration process as a service for our clients across their entire employee population and a multiplicity of payroll vendors, in a composed manner,” he continued.
“Given EPI-USE’s status as a leading payroll system integrator for large enterprises worldwide, this relationship is incredibly exciting for datascalehr,” said Jerome Gouvernel, CEO and Co-Founder of datascalehr. “They service some of the world’s largest and most complex MNCs, so we recognize this as the powerful endorsement that it is, and look forward to working with them to fundamentally redefine how payroll integration is managed by large MNCs, for both implementations and ongoing payroll reconciliations” he added.
