Tartan’s HRMS Sync Product Update — February 2024

This month, we’re excited to share important enhancements to Tartan HRMS Sync, focused on expanding coverage, improving data control, and unlocking more flexible integration models for vendors and enterprises.

The February release includes two new HRMS integrations, on-demand employee data access, and a new Field Controls capability—each designed to reduce friction between HR teams, vendors, and downstream platforms.

Let’s dig in.

Two New Integrations Added to Our Coverage

We’ve expanded our HRMS Sync ecosystem with two widely adopted platforms, enabling faster and broader access to employee data across more client environments.

Odoo

Odoo is a comprehensive, open-source suite of business applications covering HRMS, payroll, finance, CRM, and project management. With 12 million+ users globally, Odoo is used by organizations of all sizes to run and scale their operations.

With this integration:

• Vendors can now connect directly to Odoo HRMS accounts

• Employee data can be retrieved securely and in real time

• Odoo clients gain immediate compatibility with Tartan HRMS Sync

This is a strong addition to our coverage network, especially for clients using modular, open-source HR systems.

HR One

HR One is one of India’s leading cloud-based HR platforms, trusted by 400,000+ users across 18+ industries to manage the end-to-end employee lifecycle.

For clients using HR One, Tartan HRMS Sync now enables:

• Seamless retrieval of employee data

• Faster onboarding and integration cycles

• Reliable, structured access to lifecycle updates

This integration strengthens our footprint across Indian enterprises and mid-market organizations.

We continue to actively onboard more HRMS and payroll platforms to expand coverage and ensure data access for a wider range of clients.

On-Demand Data Access

Share only what’s needed—when it’s needed

The Problem

Consider a common real-world scenario:

A vendor partners with an organization that has 100 employees, but only 10 employees have opted into the vendor’s service—such as an annual food coupon or benefits subscription.

Traditional HRMS sync models require full employee data access, even when only a subset of employees are relevant. This often creates friction:

• HR teams are hesitant to approve full data sharing

• Vendors face delays or rejections

• The opportunity risks falling through

As a workaround, teams frequently resort to CSV-based data sharing, which introduces:

• Manual errors

• Delays and inconsistencies

• Repeated back-and-forth between HR and vendors

The Solution: On-Demand, Consent-Driven Data Access

With this release, Tartan introduces On-Demand Data Access, enabling vendors to retrieve only the data they actually need, backed by explicit HR consent.

Instead of syncing the entire employee base, vendors can now:

• Access data only for interested or opted-in employees

• Request selective employee data via HR-approved consent

• Operate within clearly defined data boundaries

HR teams retain visibility and control, with built-in monitoring that allows them to track:

• Which employee data is being shared

• What fields are being accessed

• How data is being utilized downstream

Why this matters

This advancement significantly improves how vendors and enterprises collaborate by:

• Preserving employee privacy and consent

• Reducing resistance from HR during integrations

• Eliminating dependency on error-prone CSV workflows

• Creating trust-first data sharing models

It also allows vendors to pursue more clients without being blocked by full data access requirements.

Business Impact

By implementing On-Demand Data Access, organizations can:

• Minimize turnaround time (TAT) for closing client integrations

• Improve client engagement, enabling vendors to serve more organizations

• Accelerate processing, reducing delays caused by manual data handling

• Enhance overall efficiency, without compromising security or compliance

These updates mark a meaningful step forward in making HRMS Sync more flexible, privacy-first, and enterprise-friendly—while still enabling vendors to scale efficiently.
