# RazorpayX Payroll Unlocks Multi-Entity Pay Runs with Knit’s Unified HRMS API

## **The Integration Roadblock**

RazorpayX Payroll promises “run payroll in one click,” but enterprise prospects expect plug-and-play sync with whichever **HRMS** they already use. Three issues were blocking deals:

1.  **HRMS diversity** – Large prospects run [SAP SuccessFactors](https://md.getknit.dev/mcp-servers/sap-successfactors-mcp-server), Darwinbox, Oracle HCM and home-grown systems; RazorpayX had to ingest employee profiles from all of them.
2.  **Dual-entity complexity** – A marquee 18-k-employee customer kept staff in **two legal entities** yet demanded _one_ consolidated pay run and statutory filings inside Razorpay.
3.  **Manual field mapping** – Each HRMS exposed different employee schemas, forcing RazorpayX engineers to write glue code and edge-case logic for every new customer.

Left unsolved, the backlog meant **6–8 weeks** of engineering per enterprise deal and jeopardised the sales pipeline.

## **Knit Capability**

| Knit Capability | Impact on RazorpayX |
| --- | --- |
| **Unified /hris endpoint**  <br>covering 25+ HR suites | Write integration logic **once**; automatically normalises employee, cost-centre and tax-regime fields. |
| **Multi-tenant payroll architecture** | Knit stitched data from two separate HR systems (and legal entities) into one payroll run, honouring per-entity PF/ESI limits. |
| **White-glove solutions team** | Joint schema-design session + custom “**entityID**” attribute delivered in **9 days**. |
| **Self-serve custom-field mapper** | Implementation managers drag-and-drop HRMS → Razorpay fields; no code, no deploys. |
| **Delta sync & webhooks** | Employee changes reach **RazorpayX** in < 60 s, keeping compliance calculations current. |

## **90-Day Outcomes**

| Metric | Pre-Knit | Post-Knit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Engineering time per enterprise onboard | 45 days | **9 days (-80%)** |
| Deals closed / quarter | 6   | **14 (+133%)** |
| Dual-entity payroll go-live | Not possible | **< 3 weeks** |
| Manual field-mapping hours saved | —   | **≈300 hrs/quarter** |
| Implementation CSAT (5-pt) | 3.4 | **4.9** |

 **“The multi-entity payroll project looked impossible on our timeline until Knit stepped in. Their unified HRMS API and hands-on architects helped us sign the deal and roll out in weeks.”  
**— _Vikram H._, Head of Product, RazorpayX Payroll
