TradeSeal implementation is structured into three key phases designed to get you live quickly and accurately. Each phase includes clear milestones, and while our team guides the process, successful implementation depends on active participation from your team.
🚦 Phase 1: Discovery & Data Onboard
This is where your setup begins. The goal is to align the system with your payroll structure and import your baseline data.
- Attend your kickoff meeting
- Participate in a discovery call to align solution and timeline needs (Standard Plus and Enterprise only)
- Import your employee data, rates, benefits, and job rules
- Review feedback from the TradeSeal team and update your data accordingly
🛠️ Phase 2: Training & System Configuration
Now it’s time to learn the system and make sure it’s tailored to your needs.
- Learn how to use the Rate Validation and Cost Entry screens
- Receive a sample payroll export and configuration resources for your payroll system
- Complete end-to-end data flow testing to ensure accuracy before going live
✅ Phase 3: Pre & Post Payroll Support
In this phase, you're running live or parallel payrolls and getting final support before transitioning to ongoing support.
- Receive production access (Standard Plus and Enterprise only)
- Complete parallel testing of at least one payroll cycle
- Complete at least two production payrolls
- Learn how to generate Certified Payroll and Union reports
- Transition from implementation to ongoing support
🔁 Continued Support: Add-Ons, Reports & Live Data Integration
After implementation, the TradeSeal team remains available to help you expand.
- Enable add-ons like WAOT, salary allocations, or job costing
- Fine-tune Certified Payroll and Union report automation
- Configure real-time integrations with payroll, timekeeping, and accounting systems
🧭 Who’s responsible?
TradeSeal will guide each step of implementation and provide technical assistance, but your team is responsible for uploading accurate data, completing payroll testing, and staying on track. Your estimated implementation timeline is outlined in your contract, and additional services can be purchased if you need more time or support.
