Dayforce Consulting Services
Practical expertise across the areas where Dayforce customers need the most support — from complex integrations to day-to-day configuration and troubleshooting.
Dayforce Integrations
End-to-end integration design, development, and delivery — including Benefits, HR, payroll, General Ledger, and boomerang integrations. We bring proven patterns and deep platform knowledge to every integration engagement.
Discuss Your Integration NeedsAutomation
Replace manual data handling with reliable automated workflows. From pay policy calculations to data transformations, we build automation that reduces processing time and eliminates recurring errors across your Dayforce environment.
Configuration Reviews & Health Audits
Comprehensive audits of your Dayforce environment — organizational structure, pay policies, security roles, and data integrity. Our Dayforce Health Audits assess your entire platform configuration to identify risks, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities. California configuration expertise available for state-specific compliance and regulatory requirements.
Forms
Custom XML forms for onboarding, employee changes, and document workflows. Our approach has reduced form creation time by 90%, delivering polished forms that work reliably across your organization.
Troubleshooting
Rapid diagnosis and resolution of complex Dayforce issues — from integration failures and payroll discrepancies to configuration conflicts. When something breaks, we find the root cause and fix it.
Advisory Support
Strategic guidance on Dayforce roadmap planning, feature adoption, module expansion, and system optimization. Practical advice grounded in hands-on platform experience, not theory.
How We Work
A practical four-step engagement model — designed to surface the right scope quickly and deliver without surprises.
Discover
Free 30-minute conversation. We learn your environment, the bottleneck you want to solve, and your timeline. No discovery deck, no pre-sales theater.
Design
Tight scope, written down. Specific deliverables, success criteria, and a fixed-quote price. You see the plan before any code is written.
Deliver
Hands-on build by the same consultants who scoped the work. Weekly status, working software, and a sandbox you can validate before go-live.
Support
Post-launch, every integration is covered by our 1-year warranty. Need ongoing advisory? We're available without retainer minimums.

Enterprise Scale, Direct Engagement
We've implemented Workforce Management across 300+ operations, 19 pay policies, 40 U.S. states, 6 Canadian provinces, and 17 legal entities. You work directly with the people doing the work — no layers, no handoffs, no learning curve.
Execution Confidence

About Asterion LLC
Asterion LLC is a specialist Dayforce consulting firm built on deep, hands-on platform experience — earned from the customer side. Our leadership has spent years as in-house HRIS owners at Dayforce-using companies, running the system day in and day out: pay-cycle weeks, year-end, audits, integration breaks, regulatory changes, and the long tail of post-implementation maintenance. We've expanded HRIS functions into multi-person teams and delivered enterprise-scale implementations across complex payroll, workforce management, and compliance environments.
We work with HRIS, payroll, and benefits teams who need practical Dayforce expertise — not generic consulting. Because we've lived with the system long after go-live, we know which configuration shortcuts cost you later, which integrations quietly drift out of compliance, and which fixes actually hold. Whether you're building new integrations, automating manual processes, or strengthening your existing configuration, Asterion brings the technical depth and execution confidence to move your environment forward.
Our track record includes implementing Dayforce Onboarding with 90%+ task completion, 99% I-9 compliance, and new hires accessing all downstream systems within 4 hours — as well as rebuilding Dayforce organizational and job structures for long-term scalability, security, and data integrity.
