Faster Timelines

SmartLoader imports legacy data and organizes it into a readable format that can be quickly reviewed, validated, and approved for bulk import into Workday. Features such as automated workbook population save your employees from hours of mundane copying-and-pasting, while preset upload configurations containing TopBloc’s recommendation for best practice setup guide your team through an optimized Workday deployment.

Less Risk

Because SmartLoader does the heavy lifting, you don’t have to worry about human errors such as data being copied over incorrectly, typos, or data duplication. SmartLoader even automates data validation to enable quicker verification and review of workbooks.

Fewer Resourcing Requirements

With key capabilities including push-button tenant migration, SmartLoader makes it easier to manage a transition to Workday with minimal oversight. With SmartLoader, you’ll be able to focus more attention on design decisions and optimizing unique solutions to best suit your business.

Data Validation Streamlines Identification of Possible Errors & Issues

SmartLoader automates data validation to enable quicker verification and review of workbooks. Rather than relying upon your team to cross-check spreadsheets manually, SmartLoader for Human Capital Management includes features that allow for errors and inconsistencies to be identified automatically. The tool runs reports to identify issues such as missing data and duplications, while correcting workbook formatting and removing blank rows. Specific checks include:

  • Position start date & compensation effective dates are not before the hire date
  • Compensation element amount is reasonable for the employee’s pay rate type
  • Supervisory organization structure has at least one top-level organization
  • More than one spouse per employee
  • End employment date is populated for employee types that are fixed term
  • Primary percentages and contingent percentages add up to 100%
  • Duplicate SSNs for dependents & beneficiaries
  • Benefit plans where the dates don’t align
  • Beneficiary or dependent on a benefit plan is attached to the employee
  • HSA plan is tied to a medical plan
  • Spouse life or child life plan has the correct dependent attached
  • And more
