WorkAxle integrates with major HRIS, HCM, payroll, and ERP platforms through an API-first architecture. Integrations with Workday and SAP. Purpose-built to sit between your HR system and your payroll system as the operational layer, handling scheduling, time, and compliance. Your existing systems stay in place.
The operational layer your stack is missing.
WorkAxle is the operational layer between your HR and payroll systems, purpose-built for scheduling, time capture, and compliance. Integrations with Workday and SAP. Open API for everything else.
The only independent WFM in the enterprise partner ecosystem.
Every enterprise runs three systems.
HR handles hiring, profiles, performance. WFM handles scheduling, time, compliance. Payroll handles paying people.
Oracle, SAP, and Workday build the first and the third. The middle one is too specialized for them to build deep, so they partner for it.
For decades that meant Kronos or WorkForce Software. Then Kronos was absorbed into UKG (2020) and WorkForce Software was acquired by ADP (2024). Both became full-stack suites in their own right.
WorkAxle is what remains.
That leaves WorkAxle as the independent, purpose-built WFM vendor in the room.
Partners bring WorkAxle in to fill the WFM gap their own suites leave open.
Kronos became UKG. WorkForce Software became ADP. That leaves one independent WFM specialist in the enterprise ecosystem.
→ That's WorkAxle. The independent WFM in the partner ecosystem.
Partner-backed, with the badges to prove it.
Innovation Partner (Silver) with Design Approval. Workday Marketplace listed. Time data exports via SOAP, built on WorkAxle's documented, tested integration patterns.
Employee profiles and org structures sync via the Marketplace connector. This is what Workday recommends when native scheduling lacks the depth for complex operations.
SAP PartnerEdge partner. Listed on the SAP Store since December 2022. Integrates via OData v2 with OAuth2, supports time-bank balance queries and timeoff record upserts.
Compatible with SAP BTP deployments through standard SAP integration tooling.
Enterprise integration via API for Oracle HCM. Employee data import, time data export, organizational structure sync.
Standard REST-based connectivity for Oracle HCM Cloud environments.
API, GraphQL, REST, SFTP, XML. Whatever your stack speaks, we cover it.
API-first architecture. Built for enterprise connectivity.
Inbound data from your HRIS/HCM.
Employee profiles: names, roles, skills, certifications, employment status. Organizational hierarchy: locations, departments, teams, cost centers. Leave balances imported from your HR system's accrual engine. Pay rates and classification rules.
Outbound data to your payroll/ERP.
Validated, classified time records with hours by type. Overtime, premiums, and differentials, pre-calculated. Schedule data and attendance records for reporting. Audit logs for compliance documentation.
Sync, both directions, your frequency.
Changes in the HRIS (new hire, transfer, termination) update WorkAxle via inbound integration. Time and schedule data flow outbound as configured. Configurable sync frequency: event-driven (near-real-time with configurable debouncing), scheduled batch, or on-demand.
