Most midsize teams still reconcile people data in a spreadsheet after the fact. A hire lands in one system, a cost center in another, and the close pack is a week of copy-paste.
A single worker record is the cheapest control you can buy. Title, manager, location, and pay group stay in one place. Leave balances and expense policy read the same row the payroll calendar uses.
Agents only help if that record is complete. An assistant that books PTO without seeing the pay period will create more tickets than it closes.
Start with identity, then pay statements, then time. Do not connect ten vendors before employees trust the stub they already have.
