Why teams connect Extensiv (3PL Central) and Paylocity

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Extensiv (3PL Central) 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. Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Customers, Items, Inventory, Orders in Extensiv (3PL Central) with Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.
  • 02 Keep item masters aligned between a merchant's ERP and the 3PL warehouse so receiving and picking use consistent SKUs.
  • 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) pointed at the right people.

Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into Extensiv (3PL Central) as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.
