Ping finds the need. A workforce platform connects the response. Your firm owns the advice.

Where a workforce platform fits

HR, payroll, IT and finance share one employee record, so client changes don't stop at every handoff. Your firm reviews and advises.

  1. 01 Hire or role change People data updates payroll, access and spend rules. You review cost center, compensation and approvals.
  2. 02 Payroll run Payroll connects with time, benefits and accounting. You review exceptions, allocations and payroll-to-GL.
  3. 03 Card or expense Policies and approvals use employee attributes. You review exceptions and spend against plan.
  4. 04 Departure Offboarding triggers access and spend changes. You confirm owners, final pay and close impact.
  5. 05 Quarterly planning Workforce and spend data come together. You discuss headcount, cost and operating choices.
