Once requested, you will typically receive the data in Excel or csv files. Once you have the data, you will populate it into Avanti's conversion templates so our team can import your employee profile and YTD payroll data.

Is Avanti better than UKG?
Expand Icon

We like to think so. There are many HCM solutions out there, but if you’re a mid-size Canadian organization, Avanti is your best bet.

We specialize in Canadian payroll and HR for mid-size businesses. We have 40+ years of experience and our in-house Canadian payroll experts are here to help you with any issues you may encounter.

We understand the unique needs of mid-size organizations. You don’t have the same resources as a large enterprise, which is why we invest so much time and energy into delivering exceptional products and service. Our Implementation Team sets you up for success from day one and our Client Care team is known for quick response times and friendly service.
