How MacLean-Fogg Cut Employee Onboarding Time by 50% with a Unified HR, IT, and ERP System

As a global manufacturing leader, MacLean-Fogg’s growth was creating significant internal friction. The employee onboarding process was a prime example. A new hire entered in the Dayforce HR system would trigger a cascade of manual IT tickets, emails, and handoffs to create their Active Directory account and set them up in the JD Edwards ERP. The process was slow, prone to error, and inconsistent across business units, meaning new employees could wait days for the system access they needed to be productive.

MacLean-Fogg needed more than just a tool; they needed a strike team to solve a complex, multi-system problem. Magic’s team was deployed to architect a robust, automated workflow using the Magic xpi platform. Using our event-driven, low-code approach, we designated Dayforce as the single source of truth. Now, when a new employee is hired, Magic xpi automatically triggers a seamless, hands-free process: a user account is instantly provisioned in Active Directory, the employee record is synchronized with JD Edwards, and all relevant stakeholders are notified.
