BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista - Clean Employee Data for Your Construction ERP
IntegrationSync BambooHR employee data into Viewpoint Vista automatically: work email, name, and employment status. With DIY pointers for the Vista API, or AutoIDM's done-for-you service.
How do you automate BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista?
To learn more about how to free your IT team from manual provisioning, set up a meeting with us here. We'll get this BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista integration taken care of with less than a few hours of work on your side, and you'll be up and running in about 2 weeks after the project kicks off.
Schedule a meetingHow does BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista work?
We use BambooHR's API and our own framework to maintain, orchestrate, and monitor data integrations. We've partnered with BambooHR which gives us a test environment, allowing us to fully test everything in an isolated environment before touching production systems.
On the Viewpoint Vista side, our approach depends on how Vista is deployed. Trimble Construction One cloud-hosted Vista customers are eligible to purchase the Vista API, a bidirectional REST API, and we have multiple architectures available for on-premises Vista environments.
After data is pulled, we synchronize the two data systems following the rules your business needs. Once the integration is built, we monitor, fix issues as they happen, and ensure data reliably moves from BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista.
What about getting everyone on the same page in HR and IT? What's the project plan look like?
Getting the left hand to know what the right hand is doing in business is complicated. At AutoIDM, we have established a proven process to make sure everyone in your business is on the same page. The BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista (and our general integration process) is adjusted depending on your needs, but it follows these main points.

What is BambooHR?
BambooHR offers small and growing companies a human resource information system (HRIS) that includes many features companies need to scale their human resources department. From an integration and IT perspective, BambooHR is the system of record for user accounts and employee identity.
What is Viewpoint Vista?
Viewpoint Vista is Trimble's construction ERP for mid-to-large contractors. It brings accounting, job cost, project management, HR, and payroll together in one system, connecting the back office with the field. From an integration and IT perspective, Vista holds the employee and user records that need to stay consistent with your HRIS. Some of the data that your HRIS owns will need to be entered into your ERP system so costs and accounting are tracked across your business.

What software do I need for BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista?
You'll need BambooHR and Viewpoint Vista. The rest is up to our integration team, and we have multiple architectures available to suit your needs.

What about syncing Vista from your directory instead?
If your directory should drive Viewpoint Vista, read our Active Directory to Viewpoint Vista guide or Entra ID to Viewpoint Vista guide.
Can I do this myself instead of paying for your service?
Yes. Writing, orchestrating, monitoring, and maintaining your own BambooHR to Viewpoint Vista integration is possible. Here are some pointers.
Pull data from BambooHR: Review BambooHR's API documentation here. Authentication is an API key sent over HTTP Basic auth, and every request is permissioned as the user the key belongs to. There are open source tools like PyBambooHR to help you interact with their RESTful API. At AutoIDM we use a regular HTTP client library, specifically Python's requests library. Once you have data from BambooHR, you need to get it into Viewpoint Vista.
Match up accounts: Once you've got employee data from BambooHR, you'll need to match it up to Viewpoint Vista employee records. This can be done by tracking an external ID or fuzzy matching on name or email address.
Map data and push to Viewpoint Vista: Your options depend on how Vista is deployed. Trimble Construction One cloud-hosted Vista customers are eligible to purchase the Vista API, a bidirectional REST API. Review the Vista API developer documentation and Trimble's Vista API documentation resources. For on-premises Vista environments, reach out to Viewpoint support about the integration options available for your deployment. Either way, you'll need to figure out record lifecycles: what happens when employees join, leave, change names, etc.
Operationalize: After you've got the logic figured out, you'll want to set up monitoring to catch errors, alerting to let your team know when something requires their time, and training for the technicians who will be responsible. You'll also want to educate your HR and business teams about what to expect and how to get support.
Does doing all of this yourself seem like something you shouldn't be supporting? That's what AutoIDM is here for. AutoIDM is a done-for-you service: no software to train on, no software maintenance, and no software configuration your team needs to worry about.
