HOW IT WORKS

One pipeline from first file to final close.

Every file your payroll depends on, tracked, validated, reconciled, and explained, with your team approving every load before a single record moves. Here is what actually happens, step by step.

Six stages. One governed pipeline.

The pre-payroll process most teams run by hand, run as a system instead. Your process, your rules, your controls, automated end to end.

1

Intake

Every expected file is known to the system before it arrives. Sources, schedules, formats, owners. Late or missing files are flagged the moment they matter, not on payday.

Validation

Every file is checked and cleaned against your rules on arrival. Formats, ranges, duplicates, and the checks your team already invented, built in because they earned their place.

time_export_014.csvFormat checked
hours_summary_02.csvDuplicate check passed
ops_feed_007.csvRange check passed
commissions_03.csvSchema validated
3

Reconciliation

Hours and dollars verified against source summaries for every location, every cycle. Every comparison lands as a clear result: match, warn, or block.

Exception resolution

Routine exceptions resolve automatically under your rules. Judgment calls route to your people, and every flagged record arrives with a plain-language explanation of what changed and why.

Location B: hours exceed prior-cycle average by a wide margin.

The approval gate

Nothing loads until your team reviews the full reconciliation picture and explicitly approves. Human oversight at the point of maximum information.

Load and close

Approved records load into your payroll platform through its own interfaces. Every close ends with a plain-language summary and a complete audit trail: what happened, what was resolved, what needs attention.

Audit trail: 6 stages logged.

Your team stays in command. That is the design, not a feature.

Before anything reaches your payroll platform, the cycle stops at your team. They see every match, every warning, every block, and every explanation in one place, and nothing moves until they approve. The gate exists because the people who know your payroll best should make the final call with the best information anyone has ever put in front of them. Automation does the repetition. Your experts do the deciding.

Built to pass your IT review.

The questions your technology team will ask are the right questions. Here are the answers.

In-environment deployment

The system runs in your infrastructure. Your payroll data stays where it lives today, under your controls and your policies.

Integration through your platform's own interfaces

No screen-scraping, no scripted keystrokes. The system connects to your payroll platform and source systems through their supported interfaces, under a single governed integration layer.

Audit logging throughout

Every file received, every rule applied, every exception, every approval, every load: logged. Every cycle ends with a record, not a question mark.

Governed by design.

The automation is rules-based and fully auditable. AI assists and explains: it summarizes, it surfaces root causes in plain language, and it never makes a pay decision. Every rule that touches your data is one your team can inspect, and every load waits for your team's approval. Our name contains AI, so you should expect a straight answer about where it fits. This is it.

Molded to how your payroll actually runs.

No rip-and-replace. No migration. We study your operation first, then shape the system to it.

Your process is the spec

Discovery maps your operation location by location, file by file, before anything is built. The system automates your process, not a generic one.

Your controls survive

The manual checks your team invented get built into the pipeline. They exist because something once went wrong, and they earned their place.

Your platform stays

Your payroll engine is doing its job. We strengthen everything around it, on UKG Pro, Oracle HCM Cloud, or whatever enterprise platform you run.

The result is not our system installed at your company. It is your process, running as a system.

From first conversation to a running system.

We map how your payroll actually runs, location by location, file by file.

An organization that completes Discover and Prove holds something most never have: a complete, documented map of how its payroll actually runs.

See it run on your own payroll data.

The proof standard is your numbers, not our claims.

Your environment. Your data. Your team approves every action.
