Schneider Downs Netchex Integration: What It Is and Why It Works

Last updated: August 2026

If your company offers a 401(k) or other retirement plan through Schneider Downs, keeping contribution data and payroll in sync shouldn’t require constant back-and-forth between your HR team and your plan administrator. Companies that work with Schneider Downs want a payroll partner that makes retirement plan administration easier, not another system to manage on the side.

Here’s what Schneider Downs is, what Netchex is, and why HR teams that use both together get a simpler, more accurate retirement benefits process.

What Is Schneider Downs?

Schneider Downs provides retirement plan solutions designed to help employers manage benefits while supporting employees’ long-term financial security. Their services support employer-sponsored plans through plan administration, compliance support, and participant services, helping companies keep retirement plan management accurate and aligned with regulatory requirements.

What Is Netchex?

Netchex is a payroll and HR platform built for mid-market businesses with lean HR teams and hourly or deskless workforces. Instead of stitching together separate systems for payroll, time, HR, and benefits, Netchex brings them into one platform backed by real support, so HR teams spend less time on data entry and more time on their people.

How the Schneider Downs Netchex Integration Works

Netchex works with Schneider Downs as a retirement plan partner, helping companies offer and manage 401(k) and other retirement benefits alongside their payroll and HR operations. Rather than treating retirement plan administration as a separate task, Netchex’s relationship with Schneider Downs is built to support the day-to-day realities of running payroll for a growing team, with the goal of reducing manual work and keeping retirement funding accurate and on time. In practice, this works as a secure, two-way API integration processed through Netchex’s Payroll Integrations connection: payroll data, employee contributions, and eligibility details sync automatically between Netchex and Schneider Downs, cutting down on manual entry and helping keep contribution records accurate and audit-ready.

• Schneider Downs supports employer-sponsored retirement plans with plan administration, compliance support, and participant services.
• Netchex works alongside Schneider Downs to help companies keep retirement plan management aligned with their existing payroll workflows.
• The goal of the partnership is less manual effort and more confidence that retirement plan administration stays accurate over time.

Why Netchex Is the Best Payroll and HR Solution for Companies That Use Schneider Downs

Companies already working with Schneider Downs for retirement plan administration don’t need to settle for a payroll and HR platform that treats benefits as an afterthought. Netchex is built to support the whole picture, from running payroll accurately to helping your team offer retirement benefits with less administrative strain.

Beyond the partnership itself, Netchex is built to be the strongest payroll and HR partner for companies like yours. Netchex is ranked #1 on G2 for service, with a 98% customer satisfaction score and 90% of support calls answered by a real, US-based person in under a minute. That’s the difference between a vendor that simply points you toward a retirement plan provider and a partner that actually backs up the relationship.

That combination of dependable technology and unmatched service is why the average Netchex customer stays for 10 or more years, and why companies working with Schneider Downs on retirement benefits choose Netchex as their payroll and HR system of record.
