Business Process Automation – The Hottest Thing In Business Now

Business Process Automation, or BPA, is the hottest structure to hit businesses across industries now.

In fact, according to the research firm, Gleanster, almost 80 per cent of all top-performing companies are driving marketing strategy and cutting down on repetitive and time-consuming tasks by using business automation system. Whether it’s in the form of automated emailers, automated chat responses, automated exchange of information between two APIs, automated communication between your business and any Kiwi bank or IRD, it all works out for the best and is sure to speed up conversions for your business.

Consider this – A potential customer or client contacted you via email or chat (if you use any), but you are not available at the moment. Maybe you’re in a different time zone altogether. In this case, you may be late to respond to the potential buyer. But with an automated system, we can set it up to immediately send an introductory email from you to your potential customer. This makes it appear as if you leapt into action almost immediately upon hearing your customer’s call/message. Leaving them impressed with your speedy service. Whereas, the old-fashioned way of handling everything on your own means that this potential customer would’ve lost interest, forgotten about you, and moved on. You’ve lost a lead right there.

FACT

According to a study by Experian Marketing Services, welcome emails have an open rate of nearly 58 per cent. That percentage jumps to 88 per cent if the welcome email is sent within a few seconds. Whereas, promotional emails have an open rate of less than 15 per cent.

A different response can be set up for different scenario depending on what the customer clicks, or the keywords used in the chat system. Each case can be tailor-made to answer a customer’s enquiry as if it were you. And all you had to do is follow the conversations via your phone if you want to. You only have to personally respond when you deem it necessary.

Nearly all big corporations use automated system – think UBER, pizza orders, online ticket booking – but, business automation isn’t reserved just for big large companies. Small companies with even just about 2-3 employees too, can incorporate automation.

In one of our cases, we found that, in connecting a client with Inland Revenue, we’ve eradicated the need to import spreadsheets between Excel and Google Sheets eight times a day by simply automating this process.

But of course, some tasks simply should not be automated. These include creative thinking, content creation, design process, and most problem-solving material involving complex algorithm, coding, HTML development, and even testing. A human-touch is still needed for these aspects of a business in order for it to function properly, and possibly with a certain appeal.

With our experience in this field, Business Process Automation can be done in a very short time, but, it’s okay to start small and expand it in time.

So how is it done?

Most software comes with detailed API documentation, and some, even with examples of how to integrate these APIs. In layman’s terms, “make them talk to each other”.

While in some cases, it is possible to complete API integration within a very short time, in other’s, one may need a higher and more expertise developer in finding a solution – in these cases, the developer may have to rewrite the code before integration.

This is where companies like Tandem NZ steps in, get one of our professional software developers to come up with a solution and fix the issue. Your platform will be stable and with increased efficiency.

What exactly is API?

Let’s break it down to simple terms.

Imagine you stepped into a restaurant, ready to order from the menu, but the kitchen is the “system” where your order is made. So how do you place an order without having to step into the kitchen yourself? Simple. You call upon a waiter who will take your order, head into the kitchen, and come back out with your exact order. That waiter is the link between you and the system. In other words, that waiter is your API.

That is what we specialize in, integrating different APIs – between your business and the other businesses, between your organization and the banking system all over, between your company and IRD. Of course, this also includes integrating other software such as MYOB, XERO, and more into your platform, if that is your business requirement.

Do you want your website to give its users an option to sign up immediately via Facebook or Google? Hence skipping the long process of filing up forms? We can set it up by integrating both side’s APIs and simplifying the registration process.

That sounds simple. Can I do it on my own?

While the answer to that is “yes, you can”, you ought to keep in mind that most APIs nowadays need some security to keep it safe from bugs, crashing and malware. You basically need an API key, which can be bought, but some need to be developed from scratch, which we have the solutions for.

A BRIEF SUMMARY OF INTEGRATING AUTOMATION WITH OUR CLIENT’S BUSINESSES:

Not all kinds of integration are called API. Depending on their function, they may be named differently, but let’s leave those technical details aside. Their end result is the same – Business Process Automation.

Customer Portal

Integrated ERP – This type of integration typically involves running big organizations. Its automation involves handling Project Management Systems, Human Resource Management Systems, and Employee Management Systems to name them broadly.

Vehicle check

Integrated HPI – This integration helps the user check the registration number of a vehicle and gives them a complete history of its use, past accidents involved in, mileage used, and more.

Online Payroll

Integrated API – This integration enables automatic communication between the company owner and IRD. It can link employees & employers, make payments and send out payslips automatically, and a lot more. It also communicates with all banking systems so the employer can directly make payments.

SAAS Accounting system

Integrated API – Almost similar to Your Payroll above, but the communication is more with IRD platform such as registering the business, filing and paying taxes, filing tax returns directly, assigning tax codes to employees which are then hooked on to IRD’s platform.

Vehicle Check in the Netherlands

Integrated HPI – Vehicle history and ownership check for the Netherlands.

Loyalty apps for POS supplier

Integrated POS – machines for making payment via card. Besides the above, most of our online work have integrations such as – Bank Payment Express, Social Media Plugins, Live Chat, Address Finder, Graph Plugin, as well as automated, scheduled and triggered email systems.

As a signing off, your business should not end with the customer making a purchase. That is actually just the start. Using BPA, after the first series of welcome emails to make them feel special, staying in touch is also important – whether it is to provide offers or business alerts, showing off new products/services, or just to give them information about your product or service, it all helps as a gentle nudge, a quick reminder. It is as effortless as blinking once the emailer is set up. Any activity or a purchase or just an enquiry will trigger the relevant email.

This allows you to keep in touch without remembering to do so, and while making you look like you’re an expert who’s on top of your game.

FACT

The probability of selling to an existing customer is 60 to 70 percent—compared with 5 to 20 per cent for a new prospect, according to the authors of Marketing Metrics.

PAYROLL - DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT

As of 1 April 2019 the way companies have to report payroll to the IRD is significantly changing in New Zealand. All employers need to ensure they are compliant. The new payday filing requirements mean employers will need to complete employee payments to the Inland Revenue (IRD) every pay run. A new seamless connection between IRD and your payroll system is needed to handle the increased reporting frequency.

This means every affected employer will need to either upgrade or replace their payroll system by 1 April 2019 in order to comply with their new reporting obligations.

As an employer if you file Employee Monthly Schedules(EMS) you will no longer need to through payday filing.

Any new employee will be able to complete a single form that combines their Tax code declaration(IR330) and Kiwisaver (KS2) deduction together.

Without exception, all New Zealand employers must start payday filing before 1 April 2019. If you have $50,000 or more of PAYE and superannuation contribution tax (ESCT) deductions each year then you will need to ensure your payroll system is payday filing compliant and review some of your internal payroll procedures.

When combined if PAYE and ESCT deductions are less than $50,000 a year you will have the option to file online or file paper. However, you will need to choose from the below-filing methods if you choose paper:

file all Employment Information Schedules within ten working days of paying staff, or;

file two Employment Information Schedules on the 15th and last day of each month.

Tandem NZ is one of the few companies in New Zealand who has successfully connected to the new IRD systems ensuring the complex payroll filing compliance is in place for its customers.

Talk to us about your payroll integration or Payroll upgrade options now to minimise disruption and ensure you are ready for 1 April 2019.

There is not that much time left until 1 April 2019 is that there are 50,000 New Zealand employers who need to transition into PayDay filing. You need to upgrade or replace your system and you need to start looking at this now. before it is too late.

At the same time we suggest you consider whether it is time to update your accounting and payroll software in general. Do they contain all the features you need now? Are they forcing you to have time-consuming manual processes that could be automated?

With Tandem NZ as your partner, you can start the review of your systems and what you need well before the deadline so you have time to consider your options before the inevitable last minute rush to be compliant with the new IRD rules.

Top 8 Advantages of using ReactJS

The front-end ecosystem is constantly evolving and changing. The past few years have witnessed a massive growth in modern web and mobile applications. Powered by lightweight and sophisticated JavaScript libraries.

React is a JavaScript library used for building a user interface. It can be easily labeled as a best seller. This JavaScript was launched back in 2013.

Today ReactJS is maintained by Facebook, together with the developer community. React JS has achieved massive popularity because of its great looking user interfaces (UI).

In React JS, HTML and JavaScript are bound to collaborate side by side, it leverages faster web page load speed, it is SEO friendly and it also offers code re-usability by combining the two technologies.

The reason behind the popularity of React JS is its simplicity. Businesses were quick to grasp this technology. With ReactJS, it is easy to reap the benefits of code re-usability with hassle-free addition/modification of functionalities in the existing system.

Many companies at the top of their fields have identified the benefits of ReactJS in their business. The list of companies utilizing React in production include heavy weights like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Whatsapp, Salesforce, Uber, The New York Times, CNN,

Dropbox, DailyMotion, IMDB, Venmo, Paypal and Reddit, besides hundreds of other medium to large scale companies. To understand why business is converging towards the ReactJS, we need to know its primary features. Features that facilitate the creation of high performance and agile applications. In this article, we’ll cover all the advantages of using React JS.

8 Major advantage of using ReactJS

It facilitates the overall process of writing components

It boosts productivity and facilitates further maintenance

It ensures faster rendering

It guarantees stable code

SEO friendly

It comes with a helpful developer toolset

There is React Native for mobile app development

It is backed by a strong community

It facilitates the overall process of writing components

JavaScript has an optional syntax extension called JSX. JSX makes writing your own components much easier. It quotes HTML and makes a sub component rendering easier. In fact, it is a set of shortcuts for writing React. You can create elements with a few rules to make your source cleaner and simpler.

JSX has proven its benefits in building up of high-volume apps or custom components, excluding typos in large tree structures, and making it easier to convert from HTML mockups to ReactElement trees. Besides that, JSX provides information, warning and error message to React developers and it also helps to prevent code injections.

It boosts productivity and facilitates further maintenance

Often, updates turn into a headache because change in one component of the application can affect other components.

Just to solve this issue React was supplemented with the ability to reuse system components. Experts define this new component as one of the best features of React JS.

Designers appreciate the feature re-use, as it helps them to typically reemploy the same digital objects. Re-use ensures consistent app look and facilitates code base maintenance and growth.

It ensures faster rendering

Before building any high load application, it is essential to consider how the structure will impact the overall app performance.

To resolve this issue Facebook development team has introduced a Virtual Document Object Model (DOM). This is one the benefit of using React for heavy loaded and dynamic software solution.

As the name suggests “Virtual”, it is the virtual representation of the document object model, so all the changes are applied to the virtual DOM first and then, using the diff algorithm, the minimal scope of necessary DOM operations is calculated, later the real DOM tree is updated. The updation of the real DOM tree is to ensure that minimum time is consumed while rendering. This method guarantees a better user experience and higher app performance.

It guarantees stable code

ReactJS makes sure that the small changes taking place in the child structures won’t affect their parents, that’s why it uses only downward data flow. To ensure code stability in changing an object, developers just modify its state, make changes, and, after that, only particular components will be updated, this also ensures continuous app performance.

SEO friendly

ReactJS has the ability to deal with a common search engine failure to read JavaScript-heavy apps. To do this, React run on the server, rendering and returning the virtual DOM to the browser as a regular web page.

It comes with a helpful developer toolset

One of the important advantages of ReactJS is its coverage with debugging and design tools. React Developer Tools is a browser extension which is available for both the Chrome and Firefox. This browser extension enables developers to find the child and parent components, it helps to observe reactive component hierarchies and inspect their current state and props.

There is React Native for mobile app development

React follows same design pattern and it facilitates the same transition process on the web and mobile application development. You can build a rich UI for native apps supported by both iOS and Android platforms with plain JavaScript and React .

Some other advantages of ReachJS in mobile app development are its portability and ability to reuse components ,real-time reload and modular architecture,supported by an open source, and generous ecosystem.

It is backed by a strong community

Currently, the React library is supported by Facebook and Instagram engineering teams, along with some external experts and users can ask their questions on Stack Overflow, Discussion forum, Reactiflux Chart, Freenode IRC, social media platforms and many others.

At Tandem NZ, we have a well-qualified team of JavaScript experts. We are React core contributors, open source supporters, and creative thinkers. We believe in contributing towards improving the modern web. One of the ways we use to push your business forward is through our excellent ReactJS, NodeJS, NextJS, RedUX, and Reactive Native services. To avail these services please contact us now.

Web Integration- Its Forms And Benefits

Integration is nothing but an act of bringing many different components together into a single system that functions as one. In an IT context, we can refer “web integration” as a process that involves connection of all the outputs of all activities and components essential for carrying out the web project as a whole.

The activities involved in website integration can include very simple processes, like importing an excel spreadsheet of products into your website or highly complex ones like system e-commerce integration.

We have listed the 4 major forms of integration that most companies will employ.

Manual data transfer

Server data transfer

Direct server access

Web Interfaces

Manual Data Transfer–

Compared to other, manual data transfer is considered one of the simplest forms of integration and requires human interaction. Manual transfer can be done by exporting your data from one system or application to another.

Server Data Transfer–

Server data transfer is a server-side delivery method for transferring user data from the server into your system. The process of server data transfer is very much similar to manual data transfer, but it has a rudimentary level of automation. The standard process is to move System A into System B and then placing a file on System B. Now, the system B acts on that file, like importing into your order tracking database. This entire system tends to be inflexible but it can be a quick solution for integration.

Direct Server Access–

Direct server access is also called Unified Remote Access. Direct server access allows one system to have access to another system’s resources, it is a VPN-like technology that provides intranet connectivity to client computers when they are connected to the Internet. It is designed in a way that it connects automatically as soon as the computer connects to the internet.

Web Interfaces–

Web interfaces or APIs are a modern way in which systems interact. Instead of programming rigid structures that repeat, now, you can interact in real time where your website can ask for custom information from another system as the user interacts with the site. With web interfaces, systems don’t just trade information, they are also able to interact. Unlike any other systems, Web Interfaces are portable.

The web interface is not only a way for your website to interact with it, but it also allows anything that is connected to the web to interact with the interface. Using World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the best option when using an interface. It is a widely accepted authority on web standards. By using a web interface that follows World Wide Web Consortium standards you ensure that all parties involved with your integration are speaking the same language. You can ask your software vendor for W3C complaint systems.

Custom Interfaces can cause a problem, but many times there are limiting factors that prevent the use of a standardized web interface. These limiting factors could be anything- a hardware, software limitations, limits of programmer skills or time, or sometimes the web interface you have just doesn’t do everything you need. Custom integration needs to be done often and should not discourage you from pursuing a web interface level of integration.

Web Integration Benefits

Web Integration has an entire list of important benefits compared to the other traditional integration approaches:

Some are listed below–

Lower Cost

Non-intrusive

Faster development

Faster overall integrations

Lower skill requirements

Potentially lower risk

Lower Cost

As compared with traditional methods, the efforts required for Web Integration is less expensive, also there are many other reasons like lower skills for developers, no change to existing applications, and no infrastructure changes to the network.

Non-Intrusive

Web integration is done non-intrusively. This is a reason behind the low risk and impact of the entire integration project. Web Integration doesn’t require any major architectural changes, hence it is often easier to justify the cross-enterprise projects. This benefit of web integration extends even further to those external applications where the user interface is the only available option for integration.

Faster Development

The browser interface is easy to understand, and hence, application design becomes much easier and less prone to error.

Faster Overall Integrations

Web Integration doesn’t require a large amount of time. Even complex Web Integration projects can be completed just in weeks rather than months. Companies can gain competitive benefits by leveraging their existing enterprise applications before then their competitors.

Lower skill requirements

For traditional integration, highly skilled person with in-depth knowledge of the application and application integration techniques were required. Whereas, for web integration technologies, a web developer with less programming experience and web application knowledge can do the job. This has reduced the need for expensive high-skilled programmers.

Potentially Lower Risk

Web Integration allows for shorter and more cost-effective implementation cycles and the initial integration can often be up and running quickly. Further, web integration can be accomplished once results from the initial web integrations have been proven.

This helps companies to try out new business opportunities at lower risk than using traditional methods.

Our experienced experts in TandemNZ work as your web integrator, we provide you a guarantee that the project will comply with the agreed specifications. So for any integration projects, you can contact us right now.

Start PayDay Filing Now With TandemNZ

The Government of New Zealand has worked towards improving the administration of PAYE to benefit businesses and employers. Earlier, the employee’s income information was typically reported to Inland Revenue Department (IRD) on a monthly cadence. This monthly information, which is used by IRD to calculate the customers’ tax obligations and entitlements is often out-of-date and doesn’t accurately reflect the current financial situation.

Looking at this concern, in 2018, the Government of NZ passed legislation that will save the business time and make sure that all the information received for calculation of Customers tax and entitlement is accurate and on time.

So, It doesn’t matter which region you belong, Canterbury, Wellington, Auckland, etc, if you are an employer in NZ and you need to be compliant with the new regulations by 1st April.

If you’re involved in your organization’s payroll function, you must be aware of it. But, many employers still need to adapt their current payroll processes to support the new payday filing.

Since, the time is running out fast, get organized now!!

Make sure you update your payroll processes in time to avoid your business getting penalized.

This blog will help you know the in-depth information about payday filing, NZ. Topics we are covering here are–

What is a payday filing?

How does payday filing work?

What happens once I’ve opted into payday filing?

How is payday filling different?

How payday filling will Impact you?

What you should do now?

What is payday filing–

Payday Filing is a New Zealand government initiative. This initiative has changed the way businesses report to the IDR that employee payments such as wages, pay as you earn (PAYE) and other deductions have taken place.

If you’re an employer in New Zealand and paying more than $50,000 PAYE and Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax (ESCT) per year, from 1 April 2019, you need to file electronically through payroll software or myIR

If your total PAYE/ESCT is less than $50,000, for the previous year ending on 31 March 2018 you can file using–

Online portal

by paper returns (but only from April 2019)

How does payday filing work?

Currently, the Payday filing is voluntary. There are three ways you can file online:

Direct from your payroll software

By uploading the file in myIR

On-Screen in myIR

Payroll software is easy to use. This is because it allows your payroll information, like salary, wages, PAYE or any other deductions. This information is sent to Inland Revenue at the same time as you pay your employees.

The due date for paying and submitting the IR 345 stays the same.

myIR is also another easy option. All you need to do is to open your myIR account, check the Payroll returns account in My business section and file your employment information and employee details in “My business section”.

Remember: Once you’ve opted into payday filing during the voluntary period, you can’t move back to the monthly filing process.

What happens once I’ve opted into payday filing?

Payday filing will start at the initial days of the month after you opted in. An employer needs to file the entire employment information to IRD online within two working days of the payday.

In the first month–

You need to delegate others or reset access for others to use the Payroll returns account

You need to file the final Employer monthly schedule (IR348) for the previous month.

Once the schedule is done, file the Employment deductions (IR 345) and make the payment for that IR348 on the required due date

Then, file your employment information each payday

Later, submit any new employee details before or on their first payday.

How does the employment information file will look like?

The information you submit will appear as it is in your IR348 and you’ll include the same information you do now. However, you need to provide certain details:

ESCT (employer superannuation contribution tax) for each employee

pay period start and end dates

pay cycle, eg weekly, monthly, ad hoc

payday date

Payments

There are no changes in the mode of payment or in due dates. You have to pay monthly or twice-monthly as per the process you follow currently.

How is payday filling different?

In the existing scenario, employers file employee earnings and PAYE information with Inland Revenue every month, regardless of how frequently they are paying their employees. But, now the payday filing is not following the same process. From 1 April 2019, this information will be reported to Inland Revenue every time your employees are paid.

The current trend of submitting an employer monthly schedule will be changed now, all you need is to submit an employment information schedule after every payday.

This entire process of collecting payroll information more regularly will help IRD offer increased certainty about employees’ tax obligations and entitlements.

How payday filling will Impact you?

All employers with $50,000 or more of PAYE and ESCT (Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax) deductions a year will need to upgrade to a payroll system that is payday filing compliant and review some of their payroll procedures.

There is an option to file online or file paper returns to those employers whose combined PAYE and ESCT deductions are less than $50,000. If you are eligible to file paper returns, you can choose to either:

File the Employment Information Schedule within ten working days of paying staff, or

File two Employment Information Schedules — on the 15th of the month and the last day of the month.

The extent to which the payday filing changes affect your company will totally depend on whether or not your company is using the automatic payroll software to file the return. If you are not using the payroll software now, assess it. Payroll software is a good and timely investment for your business.

What you should do now?

In total, there are approximately 50,000 employers in New Zealand. They all need to transition to payday filing within a relatively short time duration.

As payday filing will require either an upgrade or replacement of your existing payroll system, you should start reviewing your requirements now. The incorporation of payday filing is an opportunity which will help in broadening the existing business systems.

Now is a perfect time to start using payroll software if your company doesn’t have it already. Don’t wait and end up in last-minute rush, get in touch with us for the payroll integration services now.
