Why teams connect Infor WMS and Paylocity

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor 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. Infor 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 Shipments, Appointments, Items, Inventory in Infor WMS with Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements, Company Codes 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 Infor 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 ERP into the WMS for wave planning and picking, then return status updates
  • 02 Send shipment confirmations and tracking numbers back to the order system when the WMS ships
  • 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

Where Paylocity is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity, the matching employee record in Infor WMS is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Infor WMS

A new person set up in Paylocity becomes an employee record in Infor WMS 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 Infor WMS roll up to the same structure Paylocity maintains.

How changes propagate between Infor WMS and Paylocity

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.

Infor WMS Paylocity Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor WMS notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. ION event publishing or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

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

Paylocity Infor WMS Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor WMS: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
