We connect to anything. Tell us what you run, and we scope the connector.
Bring one HRIS export or a sandbox login. You’ll see your roster mapped and plan versus payroll reconciled in Cube.
Every HRIS and payroll system reaches Cube through one of four paths. All four end the same way: mapped once to your headcount model, synced on a schedule, traceable to the source record.
Every ledger and ERP. Actuals for every plan.
Pipeline and bookings for revenue plans.
Warehouses, BI tools, and every SQL source.
Bank feeds, spend, and billing. Cash, current.

Delivering numbers everywhere only works if access travels with them. In Cube it does, enforced in the layer rather than in each tool.
Every AI feature respects your permissions, and every edit, sync, and publish lands in one audit trail.
Governed headcount and payroll data flows into the tools your team already lives in. Your workflows stay; everything underneath gets smarter.

The best HRIS integration software for headcount planning syncs the employee roster, compensation, and payroll actuals, maps departments to the GL, and restricts sensitive fields by role. Cube does this for Workday, ADP, Paylocity, Rippling, BambooHR, Gusto, and others.
Look for coverage of both HRIS and payroll, field-level access controls for compensation, department-to-cost-center mapping, scheduled syncs, and the ability to compare planned to actual headcount.
Yes. Workday, ADP, Paylocity, Rippling, BambooHR, Gusto, TriNet, and Paychex all connect through Cube's unified HRIS API and prebuilt connectors, which cover more than seventy HRIS and payroll platforms with no custom build.
Cube connects to hundreds of source systems. Beyond the unified HRIS API, systems connect through prebuilt connectors, direct APIs, and scheduled file sync as a fallback. If your system holds an employee record or a payroll register, there is a connection path. Bring your stack to a demo and we'll map it.
No code is required and setup is finance-led. Your team connects the source, reviews the proposed mappings between employees, departments, and your plan structure, and approves them, with guided onboarding from Cube. IT is typically involved only to grant credentials.
On a schedule you control. Most teams sync daily, and more frequently around payroll runs and close, so headcount plans and variance reports rebuild as changes land. You can also trigger a sync on demand.
Yes. Headcount and payroll actuals land in the same governed model as your GL, so plan versus payroll, fully loaded cost per head, and department-level variance come from one place instead of a reconciliation spreadsheet.
Cube is SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, HIPAA compliant,, supports SSO and SAML, and connects to people systems read-only by default. Role-based permissions control who sees which departments and accounts, and a full audit trail records every change.
Yes. Cube's patented bi-directional sync fetches live headcount and payroll actuals into your spreadsheets and publishes plan inputs back to the governed model, so the spreadsheet stays a first-class surface rather than a copy.
No. Cube deploys alongside your HRIS, your payroll provider, your accounting system, and your spreadsheets as the FP&A layer that connects them, so nothing gets ripped out to get value.
When new departments, locations, or employees appear in your HRIS, Cube's Data Manager agents propose the mapping with a confidence score, and finance approves or adjusts it. Every change is logged, so the headcount model stays clean and auditable.
The Cube MCP Server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and any MCP-compatible assistant to a trusted financial model, so answers arrive decision-ready and trace to the source transaction. Generic database MCP connectors return rows without context, permissions, or lineage.
An HRIS integration pulls employee records, org structure, and compensation from systems like Workday or BambooHR. A payroll integration pulls actual payroll runs and registers from providers like ADP or Gusto. Many platforms do both, and Cube connects either kind and joins them against plan in one model.
HRIS integration for headcount planning is a governed connection between an HRIS or payroll system, such as Workday, ADP, Rippling, or BambooHR, and the model finance uses to plan workforce costs. It syncs employees, roles, departments, compensation, and payroll actuals so headcount plans start from real data instead of exported rosters.
Cube connects HR and payroll systems through a unified HRIS API, prebuilt connectors, direct API, or file sync, and joins people data to the general ledger.
Active employees with role, department, location, and start date.
Salary, bonus, and benefits data for fully loaded cost.
Payroll registers that tie workforce cost to the GL.
New hires, terms, and transfers reflected as they happen.
People costs are often the largest line in the operating budget, and they change every week. When headcount plans are built from monthly roster exports, they miss new hires, departures, and comp changes, and finance spends time reconciling the plan to payroll. An HRIS integration keeps the headcount model current, ties planned roles to actual hires, and shows the cost impact of every change.
These steps apply to Workday, ADP, Paylocity, Rippling, Gusto, and other HR and payroll systems.
