Why teams connect Neo4j and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Neo4j and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Neo4j is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service) in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Nodes, Relationships, Properties, Labels in Neo4j before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Nodes, Relationships, Properties, Labels in Neo4j with Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service) in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • 02 Sync product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.
  • 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

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Nodes, Relationships, Properties, Labels in Neo4j, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service) replicate into Neo4j where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between Neo4j 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.

Neo4j objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Properties is specific to Neo4j and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Labels is specific to Neo4j and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Indexes & Constraints is specific to Neo4j and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Databases is specific to Neo4j and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Users & Roles is specific to Neo4j and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Nodes is specific to Neo4j and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Neo4j 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.

Neo4j Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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

Ukg Ready Neo4j 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 written to Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

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.
