What Stood in Multiplier’s Way

Workday is the gold standard HR suite for enterprises—yet it’s also the hardest to integrate.

1. No easy sandbox access – Workday sandbox is very difficult to get; competition (including Merge) could not supply one for testing.
2. Massive, custom data models – Every Workday tenant has dozens of bespoke fields (cost centres, union codes, security groups) that break rigid connectors.
3. Global scale, zero-tolerance SLA – Multiplier onboards thousands of employees per month; any sync lag means delayed payroll in multiple currencies.

Building a production-grade Workday connector alone was estimated at 12+ engineering-weeks.

Knit’s Unified API Advantage

Measurable Results after 2 Years of Partnership

• 3 × faster time-to-first-sync for new enterprise clients (from 60 days → 20 days).
• < 30-minute lag for employee-profile changes across all connected HR suites.
• 240 developer-hours freed each quarter—re-deployed to product features, not plumbing.
• Zero missed payrolls despite 5 × growth in active customers.

“Merge told us ‘Workday is tricky; maybe next quarter.’ Knit showed up with a sandbox the same week and shipped a custom API in days. That reliability is why they’re still our integration backbone two years on.”
— Vamsi T., Head of Engineering, Multiplier

Why Multiplier Continues to Bet on Knit

1. Unified API future-proofs new HRMS requests without bloating the codebase.
2. Human support that scales – Solution architects on speed-dial, not “submit a ticket.”
