TFG Reports on 20,000+ Employees
Seamlessly with DLH.io + Azure Synapse

The Challenge

TFG migrated to Dayforce and sat on a gold mine of internal data for human resources and payroll but was unable to quickly attain the aggregate answers required from that part of the business. Additionally migrating from the previous system required many touch points that the IT team struggled with bringing out of Dayforce reports at the granularity required. This combination of the HR and Payroll teams exhausting their knowledge of the Dayforce application for reporting and analysis while trying to do their day jobs dealing with tens of thousands of employees was matched by the struggle of the IT team trying to get access to the granular Dayforce data as their lack of operational knowledge within the Dayforce application is not their day job.

The organization had previous reports for management, etc. in the legacy HR/Payroll system they desired to replicate from Dayforce data. The only way to get at the data to have a one-to-one match, or at least as close as possible, was to get the data, all data, from Dayforce flowing in a manner that allows the Data Engineers and Business Analysts to conduct the necessary GAP analysis and begging modeling the data to align with existing reports and already requested new reports to satisfy the demand of the business.

The Solution & Outcome

By partnering with DLH.io, and centralizing the Ceridian Dayforce data into the Azure Synapse and then font-ending the reports through Pyramid Analytics was the desired path and DLH is the only tool on the market today that could provide the level of detail and execution TFG’s team required. After comparing a number of similar tools, TFG decided on going with DLH.io as their primary enterprise data integration platform and solution.

TFG has been able to reduce thousands of man hours by using DLH.io compared to building some internal API coded solution in .Net or Python. This has led to greater reliability and speed of data to information which enables the data and IT teams to meet their internal client’s demands.

“DLH really provided us with a world-class solution that enables our HR and Payroll team to have the data they need right away. In the past we were attempting to build something similar ourselves, but didn't have the time, and hit roadblocks trying to understand the data from our Dayforce HCM system. DLH has saved us months of effort and given us insights that we didn't know to look for in what we were trying to build ourselves.”

Conclusion

With a five year plan to accelerate data, analytics, and AI within the organization, TFG’s growing demand for product, employee efficiency, and overall shareholder value relies on being able to see where the company has been in order to effectively plan on where it needs to go. DLH is able to provide the data engine and pipelines that enable that from the people-side and eventually with sales and supply chain system data synchronization capabilities. Without DLH.io the TFG IT would need to build and maintain their own connectors which doesn’t make sense to the relative cost and ease of use with DLH.io.

TFG partnered with DLH.io to solve several immediate priorities and have successfully implemented DLH with benefits going beyond just the technology platform itself.
