In June 2023, a survey of over 1,000 HR professionals revealed that 97% of employers believe that HR and payroll systems should integrate with other tools in their tech stack, yet the integration process poses significant challenges. Finch, in collaboration with HR platform Deel, offers a solution through its unified API that connects with over 200 HR and payroll providers, simplifying the integration process by standardizing data across different systems. Finch provides two testing environments—the Provider Sandbox and the Finch Sandbox—that allow developers to connect to live demo accounts and generate mock data for realistic testing scenarios. These sandboxes enable users to experiment with connections, manipulate data fields, and simulate various testing cases, ultimately showcasing Finch's capability to streamline integration efforts and improve connectivity for employers.
