Accounting & Payroll Integrations Overview

In this article, learn about Raken's accounting and payroll integrations — what's available, how each type works, and how to get connected.

Written by Carolina Manos

Raken integrates with the most widely used accounting and payroll platforms in construction — so your field time data flows directly into your ERP without manual data entry. This article explains what's available, how each integration type works, and how to get started.


What's Available

Raken's accounting and payroll integrations fall into three categories:

AppXchange API Integrations

These integrations use the Trimble AppXchange platform to sync data between your ERP and Raken automatically every 30 minutes. Projects, employees, cost codes, classifications, and optionally equipment are kept in sync — and when it's time to process payroll, you push time cards from Raken to your ERP with a click.

AppXchange integrations are CS-managed — your Raken integration specialist handles setup and onboarding with you. Available for:

Direct API Integrations

These integrations connect directly to your accounting platform via API for real-time or near real-time data sync. CS-managed onboarding with your Raken integration specialist.

CSV Export Integrations

These integrations format your Raken time card export to match your accounting system's import template. You enable the integration in Raken, export your time card CSV, and import it directly into your accounting platform — no reformatting required.


How to Access Integrations in Raken

All integrations are accessed from the same place in the Raken web app:

  1. Log into the Raken web app.

  2. Click Company in the left side navigation.

  3. Click Integrations.

  4. Click the tile for the integration you want to connect.


Troubleshooting & FAQ

Which integrations require CS onboarding?

AppXchange integrations (Vista, Spectrum, Sage 300, Sage 100) and most Direct API integrations (ComputerEase Direct API, CMiC, QuickBooks Desktop) require your Raken integration specialist to manage setup. QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and the CSV export integrations can be self-service or CS-assisted depending on your account.

Are integrations available on all plans?

All accounting and payroll integrations require the Performance Plan.

How do I get started?

For CS-managed integrations, contact your Customer Success Manager or email help@rakenapp.com to request access. For self-service integrations, navigate to Company > Integrations and click the tile to connect.

Considerations

  • All accounting and payroll integrations require the Performance Plan.

  • For AppXchange integrations, data cleanup in your ERP and Raken is required before connecting — your integration specialist will guide you through this.
