Why teams connect Hibob and Plex ERP

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Plex ERP and Hibob share in real time, so the people Hibob manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Hibob 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. Plex ERP 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 Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers in Plex ERP with Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists in Hibob 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 Plex ERP 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 Feed quality and scrap data to dashboards supervisors check without logging into Plex.
  • 02 Sync production and inventory data from Plex into a warehouse or Postgres for plant-level analytics.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

New hires ready to transact in Plex ERP

A new person set up in Hibob becomes an employee record in Plex ERP in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Plex ERP roll up to the same structure Hibob maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Hibob keep expense and purchase approval chains in Plex ERP pointed at the right people.

What you can sync between Hibob and Plex ERP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Hibob objects Plex ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning systems Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Purchase orders to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Documents is specific to Hibob and Customers to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools Named lists is specific to Hibob and Suppliers to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Shipments to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards Employment is specific to Hibob and Quality records to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Work is specific to Hibob and Parts to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Plex ERP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Hibob Plex ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Plex ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Plex ERP Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Hibob through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Hibob and Plex ERP connectors work

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
