If you have an AirInc data subscription, you can use your own data in Workia!
💡Note: In doing so, you will also qualify for a lower cost estimate click cost from Workia, as Workia is no longer supplying data for your cost estimates.
Steps to enable Bring Your Own Data (BYOD):
First, contact AirInc and inform them that you would like to use your own data in Workia, so that they can prepare the data in Workia format.
Next, send a message to the Workia team in the Help Center to ask for it to be turned on. Once turned on, you’ll no longer have access to the standard AirInc data pre-loaded by Workia.
AirInc will provide your data according to your data update schedule and will provide the data in either a .zip file or several Excel spreadsheets. There’s no need to prepare or modify these files—they can be uploaded as-is!
Finally, a Workia Admin will need to upload/drag and drop the files in the Cost Estimates Data Upload Page in the Settings menu.
What is considered as Custom Data in BYOD?
Custom data can include all the items that Workia has calculations for, such as:
COLA
Per Diem
Education and Hardship Allowances
Rental Car and Transportation Allowances
Housing Lease Costs
Utility Allowances
Deductions for Housing and Utilities
Storage
Medical Insurance
Tax Services
Airfare
Shipments
Excess Baggage
Cultural and Language Training
Hotel and Temporary Living Costs
Immigration
💡Coming Soon: Workia is also working on new functionality that will allow you to view and search the data you’ve uploaded.
