POS Systems to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect Your POS with Your HR App

When a worker clocks in and out in your POS system, their hours reach your core HR or payroll app automatically — nobody retypes them. Flexspring connects your point-of-sale system to any HR app, so time and attendance summaries, tips and commissions move into payroll, work schedules go back out to the floor, and new hires and employee updates travel in whichever direction your managers work. Your team gets accurate paychecks, fewer payroll risks, and an end to double-data entry between the POS and HR.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you. The sync runs over API or file transfer, depending on your POS system, and works with popular POS systems like NCR Aloha, Oracle Micros Res, Toast, Lightspeed, TouchBistro, Revel, e-Restaurant and POS Nation. A custom integration goes live in 6-8 weeks. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

Do POS systems integrate with HR and payroll apps?

With data integration, time and attendance summaries, tips and commissions move from your POS system into your core HR or payroll app automatically, and work schedules, new hires and employee updates travel the other way. The sync runs over API or file transfer, depending on your POS system. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect my POS system to my HR app?

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. Depending on your POS system, the sync runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection or over file transfer.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, time and attendance summaries sync, including vacation and leave time, along with tips and commissions, work schedules, and new hires and employee updates in either direction. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration goes live in 6-8 weeks, depending on the complexity. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why connect your POS system to your HR app?

With data integration, when a worker clocks in and out in your POS system, their hours reach your core HR or payroll app automatically — nobody retypes them. Your team gets accurate paychecks, fewer payroll risks, and an end to double-data entry between the POS and HR. Peterson Management Group saves more than 500 hours a year.

What’s the best way to connect your POS system to your HR app?

The best way to connect your POS system to your HR app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
