_This is a customer case study: “Payoneer Workforce Management Launches a Global HRIS-to-NetSuite Bridge for Clients Using Knit’s Unified API”._

# Payoneer Workforce Management Launches a Global HRIS-to-NetSuite Bridge for Clients Using Knit’s Unified API

\*Payoneer acquired Skuad for **$61 million** in Aug 2024, re-branding the business unit as Payoneer Workforce Management. [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/07/payoneer-is-buying-5-year-old-global-payroll-startup-skaud-for-61m-cash/)

## **The Integration Hurdle**

To run **error-free, multi-country payroll**, the team had to:

1.  **Read rich employee & timesheet data** from a growing mix of HRIS systems ([Workday](https://md.getknit.dev/mcp-servers/workday-mcp-server), [BambooHR](https://md.getknit.dev/integration/bamboohr), Darwinbox …) and normalise country-specific fields (overtime codes, gratuity rules).
2.  **Generate granular GL entries in NetSuite and other accounting systems** for each pay run—covering subsidiaries, departments, classes and multi-currency tax lines.
3.  Test every edge-case without risking production data—but NetSuite sandboxes are pricey and scarce.

Engineering estimated **10–12 weeks** to build/maintain separate HRIS readers + a NetSuite writer, with ongoing schema tweaks each quarter.

## **Knit’s Unified API Solution**

| Knit Capability | Outcome for Payoneer WM |
| --- | --- |
| **Unified /hris & /accounting models** | One normalised surface for _all_ HRIS and Accounting sources, slashing duplicate code by **80%**. |
| **AI Connector Builder** | Added a “Timesheet Detail API” (including custom overtime buckets) in **4 days**. |
| **Pre-provisioned NetSuite sandbox** | QA could run automated payroll tests and gained confidence in the rollout. |
| **White-glove onboarding** | Solutions architect tuned batch sizes & retry logic, hitting 99.99% SLA within the first release. |
| **Field-level filtering & scopes** | Only payroll-relevant columns synced, satisfying SOC 2 auditors. |

## **90-Day Impact**

| KPI | Before Knit | After Knit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Engineering time to first live pay run | 11 weeks | **16 days** |
| Manual GL adjustments/quarter | ~350 lines | **< 20 (-94%)** |
| Payroll close window | 4 days | **< 24 hrs** |
| Dev hours re-allocated to product | —   | **≈120 hrs/quarter** |

 **“Knit shipped a brand-new Timesheet API in a week and handed us a ready-to-use NetSuite sandbox. That velocity is priceless when you’re running payroll in 40+ countries.”  
**— _Rohit Singh_, Founder, Skuad / GM Payoneer Workforce Management

## **Why Payoneer WM Chose Knit**

1.  **Unified API future-proofs** new HRIS & ERP requests.
2.  **Rapid API enhancements** via AI builder keep up with changing payroll logic.
3.  **Bundled sandboxes + white-glove support** remove the biggest ERP bottlenecks.
