The problem

Employer and client onboarding runs on manual, plan-by-plan work

Each new employer brings its own record format, legacy system quirks and timeline pressure. Every week of onboarding is a week of plan assets not generating revenue.

  • Employer & client data onboarding
  • Retirement plan data automation
  • Legacy record format conversion
  • Contribution & payroll data exchange
  • Compliance data workflows
  • Multi-custodian reconciliation
Employer, payroll provider and legacy system files flowing to custodian, recordkeeping and compliance systems: onboarding takes 4–5 weeks, contribution files are rejected and custodian balances don’t reconcile

The shift

Traditional ETL moves employer files. Intelligent ETL automates onboarding.

Onboarding isn’t one integration. It’s a new mapping for nearly every employer, custodian and legacy system, so Adeptia builds it with AI instead of rebuilding it by hand every time a format changes.

Traditional ETL

  • Static mappings per employer file
  • Manual reconciliation across custodians
  • A developer for every new format
  • Weeks-long implementation timelines

Intelligent ETL with Adeptia

  • AI Data Mapping builds employer and custodian maps in minutes
  • Contribution data automation
  • Multi-custodian reconciliation
  • Business users build, no developer ticket
