Frequently asked questions

We've documented the Employment Hero HR Data Model here. Use this to browse the tables, columns and foreign keys we create in your data warehouse.
Grab your data warehouse credentials from your SyncHub Dashboard, then simply use the standard Database Connector in Power BI to connect to SyncHub and begin building your reports. And, if you need help building your reports, our Services Store can introduce you to a helpful professional.
Yes! That's exactly what SyncHub was designed for. Just use the standard Database Connector in Power BI to connect to SyncHub and start bringing in your data.
Reporting on Employment Hero HR data directly via its API is simply not practical in Power BI. For one thing, cross-entity queries involve joining across multiple endpoints - something that is poor-performing at best and impossible at worst. That's why SyncHub stages your Employment Hero HR data in a relational database first. Now, your reports have all the power of regular SQL queries - joins, ordering, filtering, grouping, and more - leaving you free to create the reports you need without restriction.
SyncHub can poll Employment Hero HR as frequently as every five minutes, however this capability may be limited by the amount of data you have and/or the type of plan you have with Employment Hero HR. The best way to find out is to simply grab a free trial of SyncHub, connect Employment Hero HR, then see for yourself.
This is a great use case for SyncHub. Each account you connect to will be synced to the same database and stored in its own separate schema. This keeps each account in its own data silo, while allowing you to query across schemas to easily query across all your Employment Hero HR accounts. View our walkthrough here.
SyncHub will (E)xtract your raw data from Employment Hero HR and (L)oad it into your normalized, relational data warehouse. You can then use our Insights platform to (T)ransform your data so that you can report on it easily, such as building monthly rollups or normalizing currencies.
SyncHub steps in where out-of-the-box reporting solutions fall over. We don't presume to know the questions you have of your data, and thus we don't provide any reports. What we do give you is raw data - as pure as possible - so you can build the reports that you need for your business. Of course, if you need help, you're sure to find a helpful professional in our Services Store.
We currently sync Certification, Cost center, Custom field, Employee, Employee bank account, Employee certification, Employee cost center, Employee custom field, Employee emergency contact, Employee employment history, Employee pay detail, Employee payslip, Employee superannuation, Employee tax declaration, Employee timesheet, Leave request, Organisation, Policy, Team, Custom field permission, Custom field option, Employee custom field value and Team employee (see our Data Model for full details). If there's something else you need just ask.
Your Employment Hero HR data is stored in its own dedicated data warehouse, hosted in our Microsoft Azure Sydney Data Center. If you'd like it stored somewhere else (even your own servers), just enquire about our BYOD (bring-your-own-database) option.
Absolutely. Every customer gets their very own isolated data warehouse. Database credentials are salt-encrypted...multi-factor authentication can be activated for your account...we take security very seriously. You can read more about our security best practices here.
There are many ways to query data from Employment Hero HR - CSV exports, Native Reports, API access etc. But for all but the most trivial reports, you need a staging service like SyncHub to ensure performance and uptime. See our detailed breakdown here to understand where a tool like SyncHub fits into your analytics stack.
No. SyncHub is a read-only tool and cannot reflect changes back to your cloud applications.
With SyncHub, you can create any report you like. This is because (unlike other reporting tools) we give you access to your raw Employment Hero HR data. If you don't already have a reporting tool, you can use our Insights platform or grab one of our recommended 3rd-party tools then use its standard Database Connector to connect to SyncHub and begin pulling down your data.

We have a lot of ambitious clients who want to get as close as they can to their business data but it’s often siloed in different systems, so while they were able to look at each dataset in isolation, bringing all the right metrics together was challenging.
RSM AustraliaMatthew Cunneen, Partner, Data & Analytics
The SyncHub experience was fantastic. It does what is says on the tin! The connection process is simple, the documentation is good and the communication with the team has been first class.

The SyncHub team got us to where we wanted to be and I think we all wonder how we ever lived without it.

SyncHub has allowed us to see week-to-week exactly how much staff and product we need in our stores.
