Background

The organization needed a seamless, automated way to exchange employee demographic and contribution data with Fidelity.

Prior manual data exchange required significant time and
effort from payroll
teams.

Existing processes posed compliance risks and made timely retirement plan updates nearly impossible.

Business Problem

HR and payroll teams lacked a centralized, real-time view of 401(k) deductions, employer matches, and employee contributions, leading to confusion and frustration over incorrect or missing contributions.

Manual processes resulted in inconsistent deductions, delayed updates, and increased error rates, making audits and financial planning difficult.

Building a bi-directional integration to securely handle sensitive employee and benefits data while aligning updates with SAP payroll cycles.
