Stop Manual Data Entry Between HR, Payroll, Finance and Attendance Systems
Request an Integration DemoMost UAE companies run three or four different systems that should be sharing data but are not. The biometric device records attendance. The HR system tracks leave. The payroll module calculates salary. The accounting software handles the books. And every month, someone sits between these systems manually copying numbers from one to the other, creating the conditions for exactly the kind of errors that lead to payroll disputes and WPS violations.
TrueBays StackHX is built on an open integration architecture that connects your HR, payroll, and attendance data with the accounting, ERP, and hardware systems you are already using. When an employee clocks in on a ZKTeco device, that attendance record flows directly into payroll without anyone downloading a spreadsheet. When payroll closes, the salary figures push into Tally Prime as formatted accounting entries without anyone doing a manual journal. When a new employee joins, their record in StackHX updates the connected ERP automatically.
The result is a single, verified set of numbers that HR, finance, and management all see at the same time with no version control issues, no reconciliation disputes, and no month-end data entry sessions.
Clock-in to WPS SIF to Accounting Entry — Fully Automated
When payroll data flows directly into your accounting system, month-end reconciliation stops being a two-day exercise and becomes a five-minute review.
Tally Prime is the accounting system most UAE SMEs already use. When your monthly WPS payroll run closes in StackHX, salary vouchers, gratuity provisions, and leave salary accruals push directly into Tally Prime as correctly formatted accounting entries. No manual journal entry. No export file. Finance and HR see the same figures simultaneously.
For UAE startups and growing businesses on QuickBooks Online, StackHX syncs monthly payroll cost data including salary, allowances, and deductions as journal entries into your QuickBooks chart of accounts. Your finance team always sees current payroll cost without waiting for HR to send a summary report.
Xero users in the UAE benefit from the same automated payroll sync as QuickBooks. StackHX pushes payroll figures into Xero at the end of each payroll cycle, mapped to your existing account codes. Ideal for professional services firms and consultancies that run Xero for their accounting and want payroll data in the same system without a manual step.
SAP is powerful globally but requires extensive customization for UAE requirements — WPS SIF file generation, gratuity under Federal Decree-Law No. 33, UAE leave types, MOHRE workflows, and Arabic payslip formats are not standard in SAP's out-of-the-box UAE deployment. StackHX acts as the UAE HR front-end for SAP, handling all local compliance requirements and passing consolidated workforce and payroll data to SAP for enterprise-level financial reporting.
For companies running Microsoft Dynamics 365 for finance and operations, StackHX integrates as the UAE HR layer. Payroll data, employee headcount, and department cost allocations sync from StackHX to Dynamics 365. Businesses retain their Dynamics investment for enterprise financial management while using StackHX for the UAE-specific HR and payroll compliance that Dynamics does not handle natively.
Oracle ERP users across UAE enterprises and government-linked entities use StackHX for UAE-localized HR operations. The integration connects StackHX payroll outputs with Oracle Financials for consolidated cost reporting. Employee data, cost centre assignments, and monthly payroll figures flow from StackHX into Oracle through a structured API connection without any manual data transfer.
Most UAE companies using biometric attendance devices are still downloading Excel files from the machine every week, merging them with HR records, and manually entering hours into payroll before salary runs. This process introduces errors at every step, hours get duplicated, late arrivals go unrecorded, and overtime calculations rely on someone manually checking timestamps.
TrueBays StackHX connects directly with ZKTeco, Hikvision, and Suprema biometric devices through a hardware bridge integration. When an employee clocks in or out, the record transfers automatically into the StackHX Time and Attendance module in real time. At month end, the verified attendance record feeds directly into payroll, overtime calculated correctly, late deductions applied accurately, and the WPS SIF file generated from data that came straight from the device, not from a spreadsheet.
In UAE workplaces where employees are more reachable on WhatsApp than email, connecting StackHX to communication channels means HR information reaches people where they actually look.
Connect StackHX to WhatsApp Business API for automated HR notifications. Employees receive their monthly payslip on payday, leave approval or rejection in real time, document expiry reminders 60 days in advance, and salary certificate delivery on request, all directly on their phone. For UAE workforces where WhatsApp is the primary communication channel, this significantly improves how quickly HR information is received and acknowledged.
StackHX integrates with Outlook and Gmail for HR communications in professional settings. Payslips, salary certificates, employment confirmation letters, and leave approval notifications are sent as formatted emails from your company email domain. The Recruitment ATS module connects with Outlook and Gmail for interview scheduling and candidate communication workflows.
For operations with large blue-collar workforces, construction sites, factories, warehouses where employees may not have WhatsApp but always have a mobile number, StackHX supports bulk SMS for payslip notifications, salary alerts, and HR announcements. The same notification that goes to a manager's email goes to a field worker's phone as an SMS, ensuring consistent HR communication across all staff categories.
TrueBays builds two flagship software products — StackHX for HR and payroll, and StackFX for ERP. When your business runs both, the integration between them is native and real-time, not a connector that needs to be configured and maintained.
Employee records created in StackHX are immediately visible in StackFX. Department cost centres in StackFX map automatically to payroll allocations in StackHX. Monthly payroll costs appear in StackFX financial reports the moment payroll closes. Inventory, sales, and procurement data in StackFX is available alongside HR headcount and payroll cost in a single management dashboard.
No third-party middleware. No API key management. No data sync schedules that sometimes fail. The two systems share a single data layer.
Explore StackFX ERP Software →Every third-party ERP integration, whether Tally, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics, works through an API layer. Data passes between systems at configured sync intervals. This means there is always a small window where the two systems may show different numbers, and when something goes wrong with the connection it needs to be diagnosed and restarted.
A native integration between StackHX and StackFX operates differently because both products are built and maintained by TrueBays. The two systems share a common database layer. There is no API, no sync schedule, and no discrepancy window. A change in one system is visible in the other immediately because they are reading from the same source.
For UAE businesses looking to eliminate the finance-HR data gap entirely, running StackHX and StackFX together is the most complete solution available from a UAE-headquartered software vendor with local implementation and support.
Every UAE business has a slightly different technology stack. Some companies run industry-specific software that is not on any standard integration list. TrueBays StackHX provides a documented REST API for custom integrations.
Pull employee records, attendance data, and payroll outputs from StackHX via a documented API endpoint. Available as part of the enterprise implementation package.
For UAE businesses with proprietary ERP systems or highly customized software environments, TrueBays can build a custom middleware layer as part of the implementation project.
For systems without API capability, StackHX generates structured export files in Excel, CSV, and XML formats that can be imported directly into any accounting or ERP system without manual reformatting.
Every time someone copies hours from a biometric report into a payroll spreadsheet by hand, there is an opportunity for error. When the device talks directly to payroll, that opportunity disappears. The salary figure on the payslip comes from the same record that shows on the biometric device log.
When payroll data pushes automatically into Tally or SAP, the figure in the accounting system is identical to the figure in the HR system. The monthly reconciliation conversation between finance and HR, where the totals never quite match — stops happening.
Automating the data flow between attendance, payroll, and accounting removes the manual steps that extend the payroll cycle. UAE businesses running integrated systems consistently close payroll faster, which is increasingly important under the June 2026 MOHRE rule requiring salaries by the 1st of each month.
When every data movement between systems is logged automatically, audit preparation becomes a report generation exercise rather than a document retrieval exercise. MOHRE inspectors and external auditors can be shown a complete, timestamped record of attendance, payroll, and accounting entries without any manual compilation.
When payslips and HR notifications go through WhatsApp or email automatically on payday, employees stop queuing at HR to ask for documents they could have received on their phone. The routine HR queries that consume large portions of an HR team's day are handled by the system.
Management gets real-time visibility into payroll cost, headcount, and attendance trends from a single dashboard rather than requesting separate reports from HR and finance and waiting for them to be manually compiled and emailed. The integrated view is always current.

Common questions about connecting TrueBays StackHX with your existing accounting, ERP, and biometric systems.
Does TrueBays StackHX integrate with Tally Prime in UAE?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX integrates directly with Tally Prime, the most widely used accounting software among UAE SMEs. When the monthly payroll run is approved in StackHX, payroll vouchers including salary, allowances, deductions, gratuity provisions, and leave salary accruals sync automatically into Tally Prime as correctly formatted accounting entries. This eliminates the manual journal entry process that most UAE companies currently handle through spreadsheet exports between their HR and accounting teams.
Can TrueBays HRMS connect with ZKTeco biometric devices?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX connects directly with ZKTeco biometric attendance devices, which are among the most common fingerprint and face recognition systems used in UAE offices, factories, and warehouses. When an employee clocks in or out on the ZKTeco device, the attendance record transfers automatically into the StackHX time and attendance module without any manual download, export, or spreadsheet step. This data then flows directly into the monthly payroll calculation, ensuring accurate overtime and hours-based salary computation.
Does TrueBays HR software integrate with SAP?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX is used as a UAE-localized HR front-end for companies running SAP as their core enterprise ERP. SAP requires significant customization for UAE-specific requirements such as WPS SIF file generation, gratuity under Federal Decree-Law No. 33, UAE leave types, and MOHRE compliance workflows. StackHX handles all UAE HR localization requirements and connects with SAP for consolidated financial and workforce reporting at the enterprise level.
Can I integrate TrueBays payroll with QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX integrates with both QuickBooks and Xero for UAE companies using cloud accounting platforms. The integration syncs monthly payroll cost data including salary, allowances, and deductions as journal entries into your QuickBooks or Xero chart of accounts. This is particularly useful for UAE startups and SMEs that prefer cloud-based accounting and want to avoid manually re-entering payroll figures into their accounting system every month.
Does TrueBays support Hikvision biometric attendance integration?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX supports direct integration with Hikvision face recognition and access control devices. Hikvision devices are widely used in UAE commercial offices, retail branches, and construction sites. When integrated with StackHX, face recognition check-in and check-out events from Hikvision devices transfer automatically into the attendance module, removing the daily manual download process and ensuring attendance records are always current and accurate for payroll processing.
How does biometric integration improve WPS payroll accuracy for UAE businesses?
When a biometric device is not integrated with payroll software, the typical UAE workflow involves someone downloading attendance data from the device, formatting it in a spreadsheet, and manually entering the hours into the payroll system before each salary run. Each step introduces the possibility of data entry errors. When ZKTeco or Hikvision attendance data flows directly into TrueBays StackHX payroll, the calculation runs from the verified device record with no manual step between the clock and the payslip.
Can TrueBays HR software integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for UAE businesses that use Microsoft's ERP platform for finance and operations. StackHX handles UAE-specific HR functions including WPS payroll, MOHRE compliance, and UAE labour law calculations, and passes payroll and workforce data to Dynamics 365 for consolidated financial reporting at the enterprise level.
What is the difference between StackHX integration with StackFX versus a third-party ERP?
StackFX is TrueBays' own ERP software, and the integration between StackHX HR software and StackFX ERP is native and real-time. Both systems share the same data without any API calls, file exports, or manual synchronization steps. Employee records, department structures, cost centres, and payroll data are visible across both systems simultaneously. When integrating with third-party ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics, the connection works through an API layer. The StackFX integration is significantly faster, simpler to implement, and more reliable than any third-party ERP connection.
Does TrueBays send payslips and HR alerts via WhatsApp?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX supports WhatsApp API integration for automated HR notifications. Employees receive their monthly payslip as a WhatsApp message on payday, leave approval or rejection notifications in real time, document expiry reminders for passport and visa renewals, and salary certificate delivery on request. For UAE businesses where employees are more reachable on WhatsApp than email, this significantly improves how quickly HR communications are received and acknowledged.
Does TrueBays have an API for custom integrations with other software?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX provides a REST API for custom integrations with third-party software platforms not covered by the standard integration connectors. UAE businesses with industry-specific software, proprietary ERP systems, or custom-built management platforms can connect to StackHX through the API to sync employee data, pull attendance records, push payroll figures, or trigger HR workflows from external systems. API documentation and integration support are provided as part of the enterprise implementation package.
