Data Panda pulls your Humi records into the same warehouse as your finance, sales and operations data. From one place we turn it into dashboards, workflows and custom apps that HR, finance and team leads use during the month, not only on the morning of a board meeting.
Humi was founded in 2016 in Toronto by Andrea Bartlett, Kevin Kliman and Simon Bourgeois, and grew into one of the most-used HR, payroll and benefits platforms for Canadian small and mid-sized businesses. The product covers the full employee lifecycle on a single Canadian-hosted platform: the employee record, hiring and onboarding, time-off, performance reviews, payroll with CRA filings (T4, ROE, source deductions, EHT), and group benefits administration. In January 2025 Humi was acquired by Australian-headquartered Employment Hero and now runs as Humi by Employment Hero, with the Canadian product, support team and Quebec-French support kept in place.
For Canadian SMB HR and finance teams, Humi is the single source of truth on who works here, what they cost, what they are owed, and who is off this week. The in-product reports cover the weekly HR and payroll cycle well. The questions that sit across HR, finance and operations, like what a department truly costs per month including benefits and employer contributions, what first-year attrition is doing to your hiring budget, or how vacation patterns line up against the delivery calendar, need Humi data next to your accounting, CRM and project data. Our connector pulls employees, employments, payroll runs, time-off, performance reviews and benefits enrolments into the warehouse, so those joins stop being a quarterly copy-paste job into Excel.
Headcount, payroll cost, time-off and attrition in one place, joined to finance and delivery data.
Turn hires, leavers, payroll runs and time-off into the right downstream work, instead of a Monday morning checklist.
Put hiring pipeline, performance, payroll and absence history behind AI that sees the full workforce picture.
Lightweight HR and people-ops tools that sit on your Humi data rather than on another SaaS subscription.
A list of concrete reports, automations and AI features we have built on Humi data. Pick the one that matches your situation.
What does a department cost us per month?
Gross pay from each Humi payroll run, joined to the employer-side CPP, EI, EHT and group benefits costs, rolled up by department and project. Finance sees the fully-loaded cost per team rather than three exports lined up next to each other in a spreadsheet, and budget owners see where the real overrun sits.
What is our first-year attrition really costing us?
Leavers within twelve months of hire from Humi, joined to their cost-per-hire, ramp time and manager, so the total cost of early turnover is a number rather than a feeling. Patterns per team, hiring source or onboarding cohort show where the loss concentrates before the next board deck asks.
Can we see time-off and capacity on one calendar?
Approved time-off per team from Humi joined to project plans, on-call rotations and delivery milestones. Operations sees the weeks where capacity drops below plan rather than four separate calendars lined up the day before the sprint starts.
Payroll runs, employer contributions and benefits cost reconciled against the finance ledger. You see which departments track above plan before the monthly close, not after.
Quota coverage against actual staffed sellers and their ramp dates. You see when a territory falls below coverage before the pipeline does.
Time-off, hiring lead time and onboarding completion in one delivery picture. The capacity plan stops being four screenshots stitched the morning of the planning call.
New hires, anniversaries and approved time-off in Humi drive the right Slack messages into the right channels: a welcome post on day one, an out-of-office note for the team channel, and a manager ping when an open role is past its target start date. HR stops running a weekly announcement queue by hand.
New hires and leavers in Humi keep the HubSpot quota-coverage view in sync with the actual staffed sales team, including ramp dates per rep. Revenue leaders see when a territory slips below target coverage because a hire is delayed or a leaver has not been replaced, weeks before the pipeline report catches it.
Approved time-off per assignee in Humi nets out the working days available in monday.com boards, so project leads plan against real capacity instead of a flat forty-hour assumption. Milestones that collide with a vacation-heavy week are flagged while there is still room to rephase, rather than in a post-mortem on why the deadline slipped.
Approved time-off and leave from Humi flows into the Calendly availability of recruiters and hiring managers, so candidates do not get interview slots on days the interviewer is off. The hiring funnel stops losing two days every time a no-show needs rescheduling.
Hires, role changes and leavers in Humi automatically update Salesforce user records, role hierarchy and territory assignments, so a leaver does not stay on an account for weeks and a new hire is not blocked from the pipeline they need to work. Revenue ops stops running a manual reconciliation pass each month.
Each finalised Humi payroll run, including gross pay, source deductions, employer CPP, EI and EHT, posts as a structured journal entry into Exact Online, mapped to the right cost centre per department. Finance closes the month against payroll that is already in the ledger rather than a CSV that arrives mid-week.
You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Humi data lives.
OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.
Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.
We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.
We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.
Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.
We build the whole thing, end to end.
Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.
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.
Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.
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.
Humi hosts payroll data on Canadian AWS infrastructure. Our connector reads it via the Humi API and lands it in the warehouse region you choose, so a Canadian customer keeps the warehouse in Canada and the data path stays in-country. Access is enforced in the warehouse, not per dashboard, so payroll fields are visible only to roles that should see them.
The connector pulls employees and employments, time-off requests and policies, payroll runs with their pay items and employer-side contributions, performance reviews, benefits enrolments, plus the recruitment side: jobs, applications and stages. That covers the reporting surface most HR, finance and operations dashboards need without a custom API job per question.
Yes. The product runs as Humi by Employment Hero and the existing Humi accounts, login and API access remain in place per the public communication from the company. We track the rebrand and any API changes that come out of the integration into the wider Employment Hero platform, so the connector keeps working as the underlying product evolves.
We review your Humi setup and the systems around it. Together we pick the first thing worth building.
