Why teams connect Materialize and Ukg Ready

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Ready in Materialize as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ukg Ready can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Ukg Ready is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Materialize next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups from Ukg Ready into tables in Materialize continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Materialize, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Ukg Ready where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
  • 02 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.
  • 03 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.
  • 04 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Materialize gives you a durable, queryable record of how Ukg Ready's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Materialize sync back onto the matching records in Ukg Ready, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Ukg Ready arrive in Materialize as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

What you can sync between Materialize and Ukg Ready

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.

Materialize objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Tables is specific to Materialize and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Sources is specific to Materialize and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Materialized Views is specific to Materialize and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Sinks is specific to Materialize and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Indexes is specific to Materialize and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Clusters is specific to Materialize and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Materialize and Ukg Ready

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.

Materialize Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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

Ukg Ready Materialize Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Materialize as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
