Why teams connect Blue Yonder WMS and Paylocity

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Blue Yonder WMS and Paylocity share in real time, so the people Paylocity manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Paylocity is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Blue Yonder WMS runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Inbound shipments (ASNs), Purchase orders, Outbound orders, Shipments and shipment confirmations in Blue Yonder WMS with Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes in Paylocity field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Blue Yonder WMS keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push sales orders from an OMS into the WMS for fulfillment and return shipment confirmations with tracking numbers.
  • 02 Mirror WMS inventory balances into a warehouse or ERP so planning and finance see the same on-hand numbers.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.
  • 04 Push hired candidates from an ATS into Paylocity via the Onboarding endpoint, then read Onboarding Status to confirm the record before the first payroll run.

Common sync patterns

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Blue Yonder WMS roll up to the same structure Paylocity maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in Blue Yonder WMS pointed at the right people.

Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into Blue Yonder WMS as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.
