Papaya Global, the company reshaping workforce payments, today announced the launch of Papaya OneData, an AI-driven data connectivity layer designed to unify fragmented global workforce and payment data into payroll- and payments-ready outputs — in weeks, not years.
As enterprises scale globally, workforce data has become a structural bottleneck. Payroll, EOR, contingent workers, HR, finance, and local providers all generate critical data, yet traditional integrations rely on rigid mappings, custom development, and long implementation cycles that break as systems evolve. Even when APIs exist, organizations remain dependent on IT teams and external implementers to structure data, manage country-specific logic, and maintain integrations over time.
Papaya OneData introduces a centralized operating layer for data flows, enabling enterprises to connect existing systems, structure complex payroll data, and move it reliably between HR, payroll, finance, and payments environments.
“Global payroll and payments don’t fail because companies lack data — they fail because the data is fragmented and operationally unusable,” said Eynat Guez, co-founder and CEO of Papaya Global. “OneData replaces years of manual integrations with a continuously operating AI data layer. This is foundational infrastructure, not another connector.”
From Implementer-Heavy Integrations to Configurable Data Flows
Built for enterprises managing payroll, EOR, and contingent workers across complex environments, OneData enables customers to ingest workforce data from multiple sources, apply structured mappings, and adapt outputs as requirements change — without restarting implementation projects.
AI-assisted mapping and transformation recommendations reduce manual effort, while customers retain control over validation and configuration. This shifts integration ownership away from customer IT teams and reduces reliance on external implementers for every change.
Designed for Change, Not Just Go-Live
Unlike static integrations built for one-time deployment, OneData is designed for ongoing change. As systems, providers, and data structures evolve, enterprises can adjust mappings, outputs, and workflows without rebuilding integrations country by country.
OneData supports inbound and outbound workforce data flows, including payroll inputs, provider-specific outputs, general ledger files, analytics exports, and payment file orchestration — creating a repeatable, scalable foundation for global payroll operations.
From Integrations to Infrastructure
Papaya OneData represents a shift from fragmented integrations to workforce data infrastructure. Enterprises can use Papaya as the gateway layer through which workforce data is structured, validated, and routed — gaining operational efficiency without large-scale system replacement projects.
With OneData, Papaya Global continues to expand its Workforce OS, enabling enterprises to manage payroll and payments with greater flexibility, control, and scale.
