BCS connector

Use your BCS data for reporting, automation and AI.

Data Panda pulls your BCS employees, employments, payroll runs, leave and absence, learning and recruitment data into the same warehouse as your finance and operations data. From one place we turn it into dashboards, automations, AI workflows and custom apps that the HR team and the partners use throughout the month, not only the week of a payroll close.

About BCS

The Benelux HR-and-payroll suite for mid-market employers and accountancy firms.

BCS is a Dutch HR and payroll software vendor headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, founded in 1978 and majority-owned by Main Capital Partners since 2022. The product is a modular HCM suite covering the full employee record for Benelux employers: personnel administration, contracts and salary tables, payroll for Dutch and Belgian payslips, recruitment through the CVWarehouse module, onboarding and offboarding, the Online Academie learning platform, the Plek social intranet, flexible benefits, expense notes and the absence and file management that occupational medicine and HR jointly need.

The reach of the suite sits where Benelux labour law, CAO logic and language fit. BCS reports more than 3,000 customer organisations across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, served either through in-house HR teams or through accountancy and salarisadministratie firms running many client environments. Belgian operations are anchored in Epowerhr, the Wommelgem-based HR vendor BCS acquired in October 2023 to cover Belgian payroll, social secretariat links and the local labour-law detail. Pulled into a warehouse next to Exact Online, Octopus, Silverfin or Yuki, the BCS record finally answers questions one module alone cannot: payroll cost per legal entity over twelve months, sick-leave trend per team and CAO, recruitment funnel conversion per source, or the realisation on a recurring payroll engagement against the agreed fee.

Ideas

What you can automate with BCS.

Pair with Exact Online

Post BCS payroll journals to Exact Online

Each BCS payroll run produces a journal that lands in Exact Online with cost centre, CAO and entity dimensions intact. Loonheffing or bedrijfsvoorheffing, social charges and net-to-pay rows reconcile in the GL the same day, instead of being keyed in the week after.

Pair with Octopus

Sync BCS payroll into Octopus per Belgian entity

Belgian employers running BCS Epowerhr for HR and Octopus for boekhouding see each payroll run posted to the right Octopus dossier with bedrijfsvoorheffing, RSZ and net loon coded against the agreed grootboekrekeningen. The accountant reviews one consistent picture per entity rather than re-keying the loonjournaal.

Pair with Silverfin

Connect BCS runs to Silverfin working papers

Payroll output from BCS lands in the corresponding Silverfin working-paper set per entity, with bedrijfsvoorheffing or loonheffing and social-charge reconciliations pre-mapped. The firm's review stops being a copy-paste exercise between the payroll desk and the file manager.

Pair with Yuki

Sync BCS payroll into Yuki administrations

The Benelux SME using BCS for HR and payroll and Yuki for boekhouding sees the run posted to the right Yuki administration with VAT and ledger coding aligned. The fiscalist reviews one consistent picture rather than chasing month-end exports between two tools.

Pair with HubSpot

Notify HubSpot owners on BCS payroll-portfolio churn signals

Drift on a recurring BCS engagement, repeated run exceptions or a contract end date in the next quarter all become signals the HubSpot owner of that client sees on the deal record. Renewal conversations open before the partner meeting raises the same client a quarter later.

Pair with Slack

Push BCS run-readiness alerts to Slack

Run-blocking exceptions, missing CAO updates and contracts ending in the cut-off week post into the HR or payroll-desk Slack channel each morning. The team works the queue from one place rather than re-opening BCS modules client by client to find the surprise.

Data model

Tables we make available.

  • Employees

Missing a table you need? We can extend the sync. Tell us what is missing and we will build it for you.

Your existing tools

Your data lands in a warehouse. Your BI tools read from it.

You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your BCS data lives.

Three steps

From BCS to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • BCS connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.
