It's Friday afternoon.
You're sitting in the office hugging a double choc mocha with all the trimmings.
You brace yourself.
Between you and the weekend towers the imposing task of copying the latest set of payroll data between BrightPay and your Umbrella Payroll Software.
'Surely there must be an easier way of doing this?' you tell yourself.
There is.
First, though, for the uninitiated, what on earth is BrightPay?
What is BrightPay?
BrightPay is a popular payroll software application. According to their website, BrightPay's award-winning payroll software is used to pay 3.5 million employees each month.
Quick Feature Overview
- BrightPay offers both Cloud and Desktop payroll solutions
- Like FCS, they offer a 'Pay for what you use' pricing plan
- BrightPay software is regularly maintained and updated to give you peace of mind
In addition to these and other features, BrightPay offer some excellent options for integration with other systems you may be using such as Sage or Xero. Naturally, some questions arise:
How do you go about integrating BrightPay with your in-house systems (with minimal hassle)?
What if you have a custom payroll set up that BrightPay doesn't cater for 'out of the box'?
Understandably, many businesses lack the time to carry out custom payroll software integrations, they're busy running payroll after all! That's where Forest Computer Solutions comes in, we offer a professional payroll software integration service.
But first, what are the benefits of integrating BrightPay with your Umbrella Payroll Software?
What are the Benefits of Integrating BrightPay with Umbrella Payroll Software?
Think of your software packages like tropical islands, each piece of software has it's own micro-economy which allows it to carry out specific jobs like running payroll, managing HR or something else.
Occasionally data needs to get from one island to another. But how does it get there?
You could take the long way around by manually copying each piece of data across, a bit like a boatman taking villagers from one island to another one by one. But the problem is that this takes a long time and you run the risk of the villagers falling overboard into the shark-infested waters.
How much better to build a strong reliable bridge from one island to the other? This allows data to flow freely and quickly in a secure, controlled manner.
By integrating BrightPay with your Umbrella Payroll Software (ie: building a bridge) you achieve the following:
Integrating your Umbrella Payroll Software with BrightPay Can Reduce Errors
A strong secure connection between your software packages lessens the chances of errors as data is validated and checked before being transferred
