With the right systems in place for your business can you take the improvements even further? Integrating your Firefish CRM with Timesheet Portal provides a true end-to-end solution, made possible by our custom API connection.
So, let’s go through everything you need to know about the integration between Firefish and Timesheet Portal
Fundamentally an API integration is a connection between different systems for data transfer. A strong API connection is more than just flicking a switch, it takes an in-depth understanding of how your workforce is currently using each system and adapting the integration to fit where possible.
When done correctly data is transferred from one to the other seamlessly, removing unwanted duplicate data entry and manual intervention.
By transferring data automatically, your teams will no longer need to duplicate data entry into multiple systems. It will also prevent them from losing time waiting for a colleague in another area of the business.
Manual data entry comes with risks. A pay or a charge-out rate manually added incorrectly to a placement or assignment can spell disaster when it comes to your pay and bill process. Integrations expand your options for automation, therefore reducing the risk of human error.
When an integration is done correctly the results are greater than what’s available from each system as a standalone, without needing to compromise on the base functionality that drove your decision to select them in the first place.
If you’re happy with the systems you have but would like to streamline the workflow, then why change? Connect them via the API and keep your team happy. Don’t try to fix what isn’t broken.
To start the process, in-depth scoping works to highlight the fields and data required for transfer to Timesheet Portal from Bullhorn. Every agency is different, and this tailored approach means an integration that best fits the needs of your business.
Once connected, tested and released, you can immediately reap the benefits of the automated transfer of information. In recruitment nothing is static and that’s the same for the integration. Moving forward adjustments can be made to ensure that the connection is continually enhancing your workflow.
