Turn Every Client’s Workbook into
Payroll-Ready Data
Implementation and operations leaders at payroll software and service providers use Ingestro to transform client files from any source or format into clean, system-ready data. Get new clients to their first payroll run 60% faster, with data validated against local payroll rules before the parallel run.
Get to first payroll run with less back-and-forth
Payroll operations and implementation leaders tell us collecting and fixing client payroll data is the biggest blocker to a faster first payroll run. Ingestro takes over the repeat work, so your consultants can advise clients instead of chasing them.
Implementation that scales
Ingestro turns messy incoming data into repeatable workflows. One global payroll template takes country rules on top, so you don’t need a separate importer for every country or pay code variant.
Payroll data you can trust
Ingestro checks client data against local payroll rules before upload, so problems surface before the parallel run, not during it. Fewer correction rounds mean a go-live date that holds.
Advisory time you get back
Ingestro agents can take on the VLOOKUP checks, pay code remapping, and other repetitive work. Your consultants review the results and focus on advising clients on their payroll setup.
Lano cut payroll data import time by 90% across 170+ countries
With Ingestro, Lano transformed payroll data onboarding from a full working day to just one hour. By automating imports from clients worldwide, they freed their teams from manual data wrangling, ultimately speeding up time to value.
Ingestro handles the complex data preparation we couldn't scale manually, turning a full day of reformatting work into about an hour and helping us onboard more clients without adding headcount.

Agents prepare the data. Your consultants support the clients.
Ingestro agents read whatever file a client sends, check it against your payroll rules, and prepare the files your payroll engine expects. Your consultants can focus on guiding clients to a successful go-live.
Hit implementation targets faster with cleaner data
Ingestro tackles the slowest part of every implementation, preparing payroll-ready data, so you can reach first payroll sooner, free up consultant time, and keep clients happy.
Get to parallel run faster
Clients can send what they already have, so you spend less time chasing data. Ingestro flags issues on arrival, not at upload or in gross-to-net checks, which means fewer correction rounds before the parallel run.
Prepare data once, reuse the structure for every new client
Ingestro remembers the mapping per previous payroll system, so the next client from the same provider goes straight to review. Your consultants review flagged employees only, so each implementation takes fewer hours and one consultant can handle more clients.
Happier clients, fewer payroll data tickets
Your clients don't need to rebuild their data in a template. Fewer correction rounds mean fewer payroll data tickets, and onboarding becomes a reason clients stay instead of their first complaint.
Local payroll rules, built into every implementation
Every country has its own tax IDs, social security rules, and export formats, yet payroll templates often share the same core. Ingestro models that core once and adds country-specific rules on top, so a new country is an extension, not a new project.
The DLS covers tax. Your first payroll needs more.
Clients moving from a Steuerberater, Lohnbüro, or another payroll system bring a DLS export, Lohnkonto PDFs, Lohnjournale, and Excel sheets, each describing the same employees differently. Ingestro combines every source in one flow, maps each Lohnart to your system, turns free text into official codes, and checks every value against German payroll rules before it reaches your system.
The FPS covers most clients. The exceptions cost the hours.
Every conversion starts from a different report
Multi-country payroll, one import flow
Onboarding runs on spreadsheets. Super and bank details stall it.
See what payroll-ready data in less time means for your team
Three numbers from your implementation plan are enough. We apply what payroll teams typically see with Ingestro and show the time, capacity, and cost you get back.
Payroll data preparation your security team can approve on day one
Security and data protection teams ask where payroll data goes, who can see it, and whether AI touches it. Ingestro gives you a clear answer to each, for every client contract.
Answers for payroll implementation & delivery teams
Do our clients need to change how they send payroll data?
No. Clients can keep filling in your payroll setup workbooks, or send exports from their previous payroll system or HCM, including payslip PDFs and YTD registers. Ingestro maps whatever arrives to your payroll structure and asks clients only for what’s missing.
Can we reuse mappings across clients from the same previous provider?
Yes. Ingestro remembers pay code mappings and transformations per previous payroll system. When the next client arrives from the same provider, the file typically goes straight to review instead of being mapped from scratch.
How does Ingestro handle country-specific payroll rules?
Your target data model carries the validation rules for each country, such as check digits for tax IDs, national insurance and social security number formats, IBAN and routing numbers, and allowed values for tax classes or NI categories. Employees that fail a check are flagged before upload, with a clear reason.
Who on our team uses Ingestro day to day?
Implementation consultants, data migration specialists, and payroll operations teams. They configure flows without engineering support.
What happens after go-live? Can I use the workflows with each payroll run?
The same logic keeps running. Ingestro processes recurring inputs such as monthly variable pay, hours, starters, and leavers through the flow you set up during implementation, so checked pay inputs reach payroll every pay cycle.
Does our clients’ payroll data leave our environment?
You choose. Files can be processed in the browser, AI-powered mapping can work from column headers only, AI can be switched off per customer, and Ingestro can be self-hosted on AWS or Azure. Every change is versioned and auditable.
We’re already building this in-house with AI. Why should I buy Ingestro?
A first version is quick to build. Keeping it right across countries, previous payroll systems, and annual rule changes is the hard part, and it typically lands back on your implementation team. With Ingestro, your consultants run payroll-ready mapping, validation and exception handling themselves, and engineering stays on your product.
Our client contracts don’t allow AI on payroll data. Can we still use Ingestro?
AI can be switched off per customer. AI-powered mapping can also work from column headers only, and Ingestro can be self-hosted on AWS or Azure with your own language model.
Can Ingestro deliver data directly into our payroll system?
Yes. Ingestro delivers checked payroll data to your API, SFTP or the exact upload template your payroll system expects. Our team configures the delivery with you during setup.
