Remote connector

Use your Remote data for reporting, automation and AI.

Data Panda brings your Remote workers, contracts, payroll runs, contractor invoices and equity grants into the same warehouse as your finance, sales and operations data. From one place we turn it into dashboards, automations, AI workflows and custom apps that finance, HR and group leadership use during the month, not the morning of a board meeting.

About Remote

The owned-entity route to hiring full-time staff in countries where you have no payroll yet.

Remote is a global Employer of Record, contractor management and payroll platform that lets a company hire full-time employees, pay contractors and run payroll in over 100 countries. The differentiator on the buy side is the route to market: where most EOR providers stitch together a network of local payroll partners, Remote operates its own legal entities and payroll infrastructure in every country it serves. That keeps the employment contract on Remote paper, the data inside one platform, and the cost stack visible per country rather than passed through a partner margin.

The product covers three jobs that finance and HR usually buy from three vendors: hiring full-time employees through a Remote-owned local entity when you have none, paying contractors anywhere in the world with locally compliant agreements, and running payroll for the entities you already operate. The Remote API exposes the worker register (EOR employees and contractors side by side), employment contracts, payroll runs, contractor invoices, time-off, expenses and equity grants. Joined to the HRIS, the GL and the CRM in a warehouse, that data answers the questions Remote's own dashboards do not: what does an EOR engineer in Berlin really cost loaded against the contractor in Manila on the same scope, where contractor tenure has crossed the local reclassification line, and which equity grants vested last quarter that finance has not yet booked into the cap-table.

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

What does the same engineering role really cost across the countries we hire in?

Loaded cost per worker built from the Remote pay-run, the employer taxes and benefits, the Remote platform fee and the FX rate that applied that month, broken out per country and currency. The CFO sees the gap between an EOR engineer in Berlin, a contractor in Manila and a contractor in Lisbon doing the same scope, before the next budget round picks the wrong baseline.

Where are our contractors crossing into reclassification territory?

Contractor tenure, scope, exclusivity and country plotted against the local independent-contractor test. Legal and HR see which long-tenure single-client contractors in the higher-risk countries should be moved to a Remote EOR contract, instead of finding out in a post-hoc audit when the country tightened its rules.

Did last quarter's equity grants land in the finance dilution view?

Equity grants from Remote for global hires lined up with the finance cap-table and dilution entries, with vesting cliffs and forfeitures per cohort. Group finance sees the grants that vested or were forfeited last quarter against what was booked in the ledger, so the dilution number stops trailing the people record.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Remote pay-run cost per entity, country and currency lined up with the GL and the budgeted FX rate. Group close stops waiting on a Remote export per country, and the personnel-cost line on the management report ties back to the worker record it came from.

For sales leaders

Equity grants and ramp dates for global sales hires next to the Salesforce pipeline and quota plan. Sales leadership sees which territory has a hire still in EOR onboarding limbo, and which reps just hit a vesting cliff that finance has not booked.

For operations

Contractors, EOR employees and time-off across all countries in one capacity picture. The COO sees which teams are running on too many single-client contractors in higher-risk jurisdictions, and where the EOR conversion queue is stuck.

Ideas

What you can automate with Remote.

Pair with BambooHR

Sync Remote workers into the BambooHR people record

EOR employees and contractors hired through Remote land in BambooHR as the same person record HR and managers already use, with start date, country, contract type and manager mirrored. The home-country HRIS stops being silent about half the workforce, and reports on headcount, span of control and onboarding completion cover the global team rather than just the people on a domestic contract.

Pair with Salesforce

Track sales-rep equity and ramp inside Salesforce

Equity grants, vesting cliffs and ramp dates from Remote land next to each rep in Salesforce, joined to quota plan and territory assignment. Sales leadership sees which AEs just crossed a one-year cliff, which reps are still ramping under an EOR contract, and which territories rely on a hire still stuck in onboarding, on the same screen the forecast call already runs on.

Pair with Sage Intacct

Post Remote pay-run journals into Sage Intacct per entity

Each pay period, Remote pay-run cost lands in Sage Intacct as journal entries in the right entity, with country, currency, cost centre and worker type on the line. Group finance stops rekeying a Remote export per country, the personnel-cost line on the consolidation ties back to the Remote record that produced it, and FX translation runs on the same rate set the rest of the close uses.

Pair with Slack

Automate the global team-announce moments

New EOR hires, contractor onboardings, work anniversaries and approved time-off in Remote drive the right Slack messages into the right channels: a welcome post on day one in the team channel, an out-of-office note for the project channel, and a manager ping when an EOR contract has been waiting on a country-side step for more than five working days. People ops stops running a weekly announce queue across timezones by hand.

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.

Which Remote tables land in the warehouse?

The connector pulls the Workers register (EOR employees and contractors side by side), Employments and contracts with their amendments, Payroll runs, Contractor invoices and Payments, Time-off, Expenses and Equity grants. That covers the reporting surface most finance, HR and operations dashboards need, with payroll-run details available where Remote exposes them per contract type and country. Authentication runs through a Remote API token scoped to your organisation.

Does it matter for the data that Remote owns its own entities in each country?

Yes, on two fronts. The cost stack on an EOR worker comes through one set of fee fields rather than a partner's mark-up that the API does not expose, so the loaded-cost calculation in the warehouse is a clean build-up rather than a guess. And the employment contract, the local statutory filings and the country-specific tax IDs all sit on the same Remote record, so the audit trail for an EOR worker in, say, Germany or Japan does not depend on a partner registry the warehouse cannot reach.

How are sensitive worker fields handled at warehouse scale?

Compensation, bank-account identifiers and country-specific tax IDs can be kept in restricted schemas that only finance, HR and legal roles reach, while the worker register, contracts and headcount data powers the dashboards the rest of the business uses. Access is enforced in the warehouse, not in each dashboard, so a new operations report cannot accidentally surface a salary or bank-account field it should not see.
