Paylocity to ComputerEase - Keep Payroll and Job Costing in Sync
IntegrationSync Paylocity employee data into Deltek ComputerEase automatically: employee record creation, updates, and offboarding cleanup, with DIY pointers for the ComputerEase REST Service, or AutoIDM's done-for-you service.
How do you automate Paylocity to ComputerEase?
To learn more about how to free your IT team from manual provisioning, set up a meeting with us here. We'll get this Paylocity to ComputerEase 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 Paylocity to ComputerEase work?
We use Paylocity's API and our own framework to maintain, orchestrate, and monitor data integrations.
Similarly, we use Deltek's ComputerEase REST Service and our own framework to maintain, orchestrate, and monitor data integrations.
After data is pulled via the API, 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 Paylocity to ComputerEase.
What about getting everyone on the same page in HR and accounting? 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.

What is Paylocity?
Paylocity provides a cloud-based payroll and human capital management (HCM) platform for small and mid-sized businesses. From an integration and IT perspective, Paylocity is the system of record for user accounts and employee identity.
What is ComputerEase?
Deltek ComputerEase is construction accounting software purpose-built for contractors, combining job costing, project management, accounting, payroll, and equipment management in one system. It's the system that holds your jobs, costs, and payroll, whereas Paylocity specializes in payroll and HR functionality. Some of the data that your HRIS owns will need to be entered into your construction accounting system so costs and accounting are tracked across your business.
What features does AutoIDM have?
AutoIDM's solution automates your existing processes. We tailor our solution to what you need while leveraging core functionality across our customer base. There's no need to learn new systems. We take care of data integration and let your team keep using the tools they already know.
If your team is using Paylocity and ComputerEase together, you could be wasting valuable time entering the same employee data into both systems. We can keep ComputerEase employee records in sync with Paylocity so your HR and accounting teams can spend more of their time on what matters.
- ComputerEase employee records stay in sync: work email, name, and employment status
- ComputerEase access cleanup when an employee is offboarded in Paylocity
- Daily report of automation changes
- Drift report for governance on unmanaged accounts
What software do I need for Paylocity to ComputerEase?
You'll need Paylocity and ComputerEase. The rest is up to our integration team, and we have multiple architectures available to suit your needs.
What if something breaks?
As a fully managed service, we reach out if we see an error. If you notice an issue, submit a ticket to our helpdesk at support@autoidm.com.
What about syncing ComputerEase from a different source?
If your directory should drive ComputerEase instead, see Entra ID to ComputerEase or Active Directory to ComputerEase.
Can I do this myself instead of paying for your service?
Yes. Writing, orchestrating, monitoring, and maintaining your own Paylocity to ComputerEase integration is possible. Here are some pointers.
Pull data from Paylocity: Review Paylocity's API documentation here. Note that API access isn't self-service: a company admin submits a web services access request through your Paylocity account manager, and Paylocity issues OAuth client credentials once approved. At AutoIDM we use a regular HTTP client library, specifically Python's requests library. Once you have data from Paylocity, you need to get it into ComputerEase.
Match up accounts: Once you've got employee data from Paylocity, you'll need to match it up to ComputerEase. This can be done by tracking an external ID or fuzzy matching on name or email address.
Map data and push to ComputerEase: Deltek publishes a ComputerEase REST Service for integration developers. Depending on your ComputerEase version and hosting, your options can also include file-based imports or working with Deltek ComputerEase support to enable API access. 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.
