Multisided Product-Agnostic API Integration for Compliance Products
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems face challenges in integrating with compliance solution products due to differing systems, file formats, and coding, requiring multiple interfaces and redundant data entry, which is time-consuming and costly, and prevents real-time processing when new products are subscribed to.
Innovation Solution
A multisided agnostic integration system using a single set of product agnostic application programming interfaces (APIs) allows clients to integrate with multiple compliance solution products, categorizing data for use across various offerings, eliminating redundant data entry and enabling real-time processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If product specific interfaces are used to access compliance solution products, then each product can be accessed with dedicated interface, but the number of interfaces increases and integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface that can access multiple compliance solution products (payroll, tax, garnishment, etc.) through a single set of product agnostic APIs. This eliminates the need for separate product-specific interfaces while maintaining reliable access to all products through standardized data categories and templates.
2Reliability
If separate data files are sent for each post payroll product, then each product receives complete data, but data redundancy increases and processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data requirements for multiple post-payroll products into a single unified data file. The system uses product agnostic APIs to categorize data once, then distributes relevant portions to different products (payroll, tax, garnishment) simultaneously, eliminating redundant data transmission and reducing processing time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If client specific integration applications are built for each product, then each product integration can be customized, but implementation time increases and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal integration application that works across multiple compliance solution products through standardized product agnostic APIs. The system maintains adaptability by using configurable data templates and categories that can be adjusted for different products without requiring separate custom integrations, significantly reducing implementation time and cost.
4Reliability
If redundant profile data entry is required for onboarding, then each product receives accurate data, but onboarding time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines profile data entry into a single unified process that serves multiple products simultaneously. The system captures profile data once and uses product agnostic APIs to distribute it to relevant products (payroll, tax, garnishment) based on data categories, ensuring data accuracy while eliminating redundant entry and reducing onboarding time.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates generally to an integration system and, more particularly, to a multisided agnostic integration system and method of use. The method includes: receiving, by a computer system, data from a system as defined by a single set of product agnostic application programming interfaces (APIs); receiving, by the computer system, a request to execute at least one product offered by a third party provider; parsing, by the computer system, the received data defined by the single set of product agnostic APIs which are needed to execute the at least one product; executing the at least one product using the parsed data; and providing notification to a client that the product has been executed.
