# Multiplier Closes Enterprise Deals by Shipping a Workday Integration in One Week through Knit

## **What Stood in Multiplier’s Way**

**[Workday](https://md.getknit.dev/mcp-servers/workday-mcp-server) is the gold standard HR suite for enterprises—yet it’s also the hardest to integrate.**

1.  **No easy sandbox access** – [Workday](https://md.getknit.dev/mcp-servers/workday-mcp-server) sandbox is very difficult to get; competition (including Merge) could not supply one for testing.
2.  **Massive, custom data models** – Every Workday tenant has dozens of bespoke fields (cost centres, union codes, security groups) that break rigid connectors.
3.  **Global scale, zero-tolerance SLA** – Multiplier onboards thousands of employees per month; any sync lag means delayed payroll in multiple currencies.

Building a production-grade Workday connector alone was estimated at **12+ engineering-weeks**.

## **Knit’s Unified API Advantage**

| Knit Capability | How It Helped Multiplier |
| --- | --- |
| **Pre-procured Workday sandbox** | Dev & QA environment to build confidence in the integration. |
| **Unified /hris model** | One endpoint now [powers](https://getknit.dev/case-studies/multiplier-closes-enterprise-deals-by-shipping-a-workday-integration-in-one-week-through-knit#) Workday and 40+ other HR systems, cutting duplicate code by **80%**. |
| **Custom APIs via AI Connector Builder** | Knit co-created several custom APIs for Multiplier’s use-case, leveraging its AI connector builder for super-fast turnaround. |
| **White-glove support** | Dedicated solutions team worked with Multiplier’s engineering team on Slack – leading to fast iteration and go-live. |

## **Measurable Results after 2 Years of Partnership**

*   **3 × faster** time-to-first-sync for new enterprise clients (from 60 days → 20 days).
*   **< 30-minute** lag for employee-profile changes across all connected HR suites.
*   **240 developer-hours** freed each quarter—re-deployed to product features, not plumbing.
*   **Zero missed payrolls** despite 5 × growth in active customers.

**“Merge told us ‘Workday is tricky; maybe next quarter.’ Knit showed up with a sandbox the same week and shipped a custom API in days. That reliability is why they’re still our integration backbone two years on.”  
**— _Vamsi T._, Head of Engineering, Multiplier

## **Why Multiplier Continues to Bet on Knit**

1.  **Unified API future-proofs** new HRMS requests without bloating the codebase.
2.  **Human support that scales** – Solution architects on speed-dial, not “submit a ticket.”
