Connect Your HR & Payroll Platform to Your ERP
When your HR platform lives in a silo, workforce data never reaches production or accounting. CastLogic HR integrates with whichever HR/payroll system you use—via its open API—so time, labor cost, and GL postings flow into the ERP automatically.
❌ Standalone HR/Payroll Systems
- • Manual time entry and rekeying between systems
- • Labor costs disconnected from project profitability
- • Payroll doesn't flow to accounting automatically
- • Can't track labor efficiency by product or project
- • Complex reconciliation between HR and finance teams
- • No real-time labor cost visibility during production
✓ CastLogic Integrated HR & Payroll
- ✓ Time data from your HR platform flows automatically to the ERP for job costing
- ✓ Real-time labor costing allocates every hour to specific jobs automatically
- ✓ Payroll posts to GL instantly with proper job cost distribution
- ✓ Labor efficiency metrics by employee, crew, project, or product type
- ✓ Zero reconciliation between HR, production, and finance
- ✓ Live dashboards show labor costs as work happens
