Automate employee, project, and expense data between Business Central and Factorial, eliminating manual tasks and errors.
When month-end rolls around, many companies face the same problem: HR and finance data don’t quite match up. Manual reviews, ad-hoc Excel spreadsheets, and last-minute adjustments become the norm—even when using powerful tools like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Factorial.
The problem lies not in the technology, but in the lack of integration between systems. To address this issue, PKF Attest has developed the Business Central ↔ Factorial connector, a standard integration that allows both environments to function as a single system, with data always in sync.
What is the BC ↔ Factorial connector?
The Business Central Factorial connector is a certified integration that connects Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP with Factorial, automating key workflows between HR and Finance.
Thanks to this integration, data on employees, projects, time, and expenses is automatically synchronized, without manual intervention and without the need for custom development. The result is a single, consistent, and reliable information flow for both departments.
The common problem between HR and Finance
When Business Central and Factorial are not integrated, recurring issues often arise that affect day-to-day business operations:
- Duplicate data entry.
- Manual processes between systems.
- Errors in expenses, projects, and financial closings.
- Lack of unified visibility.
This situation is not only time-consuming, but it also makes financial oversight difficult and slows down decision-making.
What does the Business Central and Factorial integration automate?
Employees
Employee management is handled in Factorial, and the information is automatically synchronized with Business Central. New hires, updates, and relevant data are always kept up to date in both systems.
This prevents inconsistencies and eliminates the need to manually review or duplicate information.
Projects and Timelines
Projects are created in Business Central and replicated in Factorial to make it easier for the team to track time.
The recorded times are correctly transferred to the ERP system, enabling precise cost control and more reliable project management.
Expenses and invoices
Employees record expenses in Factorial, and these are automatically transferred to Business Central, correctly allocated to projects and cost centers.
This way, expenses are ready for posting, reducing errors and speeding up financial closings.
Benefits of the Business Central Factorial Connector
The integration between Business Central and Factorial delivers clear benefits from day one: fewer repetitive administrative tasks, fewer errors caused by duplicate data, and faster, more controlled processes.
In addition, it ensures greater reliability in accounting and reporting, and provides a unified view of HR, projects, and expenses—all without the need for intermediate Excel spreadsheets or custom integrations that are difficult to maintain.
How is the connector implanted?
The connector is a standard solution developed and maintained by PKF Attest, ensuring stability, support, and continuous improvement.
The implementation is tailored to each client’s specific situation, taking into account the number of employees, the complexity of the organizational structure, and the management of projects and expenses. In this way, the integration adapts to the business, rather than the other way around.
What kind of companies is it designed for?
The Business Central ↔ Factorial connector is designed for companies that:
- They use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- They want to professionalize HR and finance management.
- They are looking to automate processes without custom development.
- They need reliability, control, and scalability.
