Elementary, a third-party managed payroll software provider, approached Pixel Fusion to develop a scalable and secure platform to streamline payroll processing and ensure seamless delivery of payslips and payroll-related documents to employees.
The platform needed to accommodate large volumes of sensitive payroll data while offering a seamless user experience for both payroll processors and employees. Security and scalability were paramount, with the requirement to integrate advanced authentication systems, document storage, and user management features to handle complex payroll tasks efficiently.
Pixel Fusion developed a complete solution for Elementary, leveraging a React-based frontend and a C# API backend. This combination ensured the platform could deliver a fast, flexible, and efficient user experience while maintaining data integrity. The system was hosted on Azure, with containerised services for both the API and web server, allowing for seamless scaling and reducing downtime. Azure-hosted SQL Server was utilised for secure and reliable data storage, ensuring the platform could handle increasing demands as the business grew.
To address security, Pixel Fusion implemented FusionAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) for streamlined user authentication. This system enhanced security by providing a centralised and secure authentication process for payroll processors and employees alike. FusionAuth SSO was installed and configured on an Ubuntu server, with firewall access configured to protect all communications.
Project Tools and Technologies: Pixel Fusion utilised a range of cutting-edge tools and technologies to ensure the platform met the client’s needs: –
– Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio for API and database development.
– SQL Prompt to optimise database queries and ensure efficient data retrieval.
– .NET Core for backend development, ensuring scalability and flexibility.
– React Framework and Tailwind CSS to deliver a responsive, user-friendly frontend.
– BI Reporting to provide visual representations of payroll data, enabling payroll administrators to access key metrics easily.
– PowerShell and NodeJS/NPM for managing dependencies and automating tasks.
– Gembox Libraries (Word, PDF, Excel) for seamless generation of payroll documents, including payslips and reports.
– Ubuntu Server to host FusionAuth SSO with secure access configurations.
– Azure Storage for the storage and retrieval of payroll-related documents.
– SendGrid as the primary mail server, ensuring timely delivery of payslips and payroll notifications.
The solution developed by Pixel Fusion transformed Elementary’s payroll processing capabilities. The platform allowed payroll processors to manage payrolls efficiently while providing employees with an easy-to-use interface to access their payslips and other documents. By hosting the platform on Azure and leveraging containerisation, the system could scale smoothly, accommodating growth without impacting performance.
The integration of FusionAuth SSO provided a secure and streamlined authentication process, making it easier for both employees and administrators to access the platform while ensuring sensitive payroll data was protected. The use of BI Reporting allowed payroll processors to visually track payroll metrics, improving decision-making and operational oversight.
The seamless integration of Gembox Libraries and Azure Storage ensured that document generation and storage were handled securely and efficiently, while SendGrid facilitated reliable delivery of payroll notifications. The result was a secure, scalable platform that could grow alongside Elementary’s expanding business, ensuring long-term flexibility and performance.
