Company Overview
flair is a comprehensive human resource management solution built on Salesforce. It offers features such as recruitment, onboarding and offboarding, time and attendance, employee scheduling, performance management, and payroll preparation.
Unlike many HR software solutions that prioritize standardization, flair emphasizes customization tailored to individual user needs, providing a user-friendly experience for managers, recruiters, and employees.
The Challenge: Adding Built-in Document Generation to flair’s Product Suite
As flair continued to evolve its HR management platform, the need for a robust document generation solution became apparent. The company’s product roadmap had long aimed to include document generation capabilities, recognizing the importance of streamlining the creation of various HR documents such as employment contracts, offer letters and more.
However, finding the right solution posed a significant challenge. While several PDF generation tools existed within the Salesforce ecosystem, they predominantly offered UI-based solutions, which didn’t align with flair’s vision of built-in integration and automation. Moreover, these solutions lacked the flexibility to create templates directly via API, a feature deemed essential by flair’s product team to ensure scalability and customization.
The evaluation process involved rigorous scrutiny of existing solutions, highlighting the limitations and constraints posed by UI-centric platforms. The inability to create templates programmatically via API hindered the company’s ability to tailor document generation workflows to its unique requirements. It became evident that a more flexible approach was necessary to achieve the desired level of customization.
The Solution: Integrating with DocuGenerate’s API
In the quest for a comprehensive document generation solution, flair discovered DocuGenerate—a versatile API-driven platform designed to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses. The integration process was remarkably straightforward, with the initial version being ready within hours—a testament to the efficiency and ease of use of DocuGenerate’s developer-friendly API.
Key features such as the option to receive documents in binary format and automatic association of generated documents with relevant records proved instrumental in enhancing flair’s document creation workflows.
The ability to populate templates with data from HR records in Salesforce simplified the creation of customized documents, such as contracts, reducing manual effort and ensuring accuracy and consistency across all generated documents.
The Results: Generating Routine HR and Recruiting Documents with Ease
The integration with DocuGenerate yielded tangible benefits for flair and its users. By streamlining the creation of various HR documents, including employment contracts, offer letters, company policies, employee transfer notices, promotions, and pay rise agreements, flair empowered its users to accomplish more in less time.
