Industry: Mining / Industrial Operations
Cloud: AWS
Challenge:
Client selected CloudPayroll as its payroll platform and HumanForce Time Target (cloud version) for time and attendance. However, both systems operated independently, creating manual reconciliation efforts and operational risk.
Key challenges included:
- Manual data reconciliation between payroll and timesheets
- Inconsistent master data across systems (employees, cost centres, pay elements)
- Risk of payroll errors due to misaligned leave balances and pay rates
- Lack of automated, real-time synchronization
Client required a scalable, API-driven integration framework capable of managing bi-directional data flows with transformation logic.
Solution
Nuage designed and implemented a cloud-hosted API Transformation Engine within Client’s AWS environment to automate and standardize data exchange between CloudPayroll and HumanForce.
The solution established clear system-of-record ownership, performed structured field mapping and data transformation, and enabled scheduled synchronization to ensure payroll accuracy and compliance.
