From duplicate data to direct ROI: a smart integration between platforms.
Baker Tilly is a leading accounting and advisory firm with around 300 financial experts across 8 offices in Belgium. They faced a problem many companies know all too well: two systems that are both critical to daily operations but don't talk to each other.
The result? Double work, a growing margin for error, and an HR team losing valuable time on data entry instead of people.
two systems, zero communication
Baker Tilly uses a dedicated HR platform for HR management and leave requests, and a separate tool for time tracking, project management, and payroll processing. Both are essential, but were running in complete isolation from each other.
Whenever someone took a day off or called in sick, it got logged in the HR platform. But that information still had to be manually imported into the time tracking and payroll system. Which meant:
On top of that: One of the tools runs on-premise, not in the cloud. That makes integration a lot more technically involved. But we love a challenge.
fast, flexible and minimum disruption
Baker Tilly's IT and HR teams are busy people. So we ran this project the way we run every project: we did the heavy lifting so they didn't have to.
Working AI-augmented meant we moved fast. No endless meetings, no slow feedback cycles. Just a close collaboration with Baker Tilly to nail the complex mapping of leave types. Because short leave isn't the same as vacation, and that difference has to be exactly right.
The result? An integration that went live without a hitch. From briefing to go-live: fast, sharp, and no surprises.
a synchronization that saves hours
We built an automatic synchronization tool that acts as a bridge between the two tools. No heavy, expensive server running 24/7. Instead, a serverless solution that only runs when needed. Cost-efficient and scalable.
Here's how it works:
And the on-premise challenge? Solved with some smart network engineering for a secure connection. This gives us a secure connection to Baker Tilly's local server without opening dangerous ports in the firewall. Safe, compliant with their IT standards, and zero compromises.
