According to ADP®, workforce management (WFM) is the “way in which employers strategically allocate people and resources, track attendance and comply with constantly changing workplace laws and regulations.”

ADP should know. The provider of cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solutions that unite HR, payroll, talent, time, tax, and benefits administration (plus outsourced services, analytics, and compliance expertise) has been in business for over 75 years. Its solutions help over 1.1 million clients in over 140 countries with their workforce management needs

In 2011, ADP introduced ADP Workforce Now®—an all-in-one software solution for HR, payroll, time and more. In 2024, ADP Workforce Now joined forces with Acumatica to provide our mutual customers with a unified approach to WFM.

Earning Acumatica Certification, Serving Customers Better

An award-winning, cloud-based leader in the ERP market, Acumatica is leading business management solution that’s been successfully serving small and midsized organizations since 2008. Our success stems from being a user-friendly, innovative, and affordable solution as well as cultivating powerful partnerships with our Value Added Resellers (VARs)—who are solely responsible for selling Acumatica—and with our development partners, whose applications can be found in the ever-expanding Acumatica Marketplace.

Every third-party application integrated with Acumatica is designed to extend our comprehensive functionality, offering users a complete solution for their unique business management needs. However, there are some applications that receive a higher designation.

Applications with the Acumatica-Certified Application (ACA) designation meet specific standards of excellence. As an outstanding development partner, ADP Workforce Now earned this special title.

In an ADP press release announcing the certification, Christian Lindberg said, “Our ACA label is designed to help customers find those applications that are best capable of delivering. We proudly recognize ADP Workforce Now as an Acumatica-Certified Application that masterfully utilizes the Acumatica platform to enable customers to execute their strategies and meet their evolving needs.”

With the ADP Workforce Now and Acumatica integration, customers in the construction, distribution, manufacturing, retail, services (and more) industries can manage their payroll, HR, time/attendance, benefits, and talent management needs and data within Acumatica’s ERP solution.

Real-Life Acumatica and ADP Workforce Now Customer Success Story

D&L, Inc., a full-service HVAC company, was one of the first ADP customers to benefit from the ADP Workforce Now and Acumatica integration.

D&L relied on ADP’s HR and payroll solution to handle its WFM requirements, but because ADP was not yet with Acumatica, D&L struggled to transfer data easily and efficiently between the two systems. President Dana Gay says that transferring their GL file from ADP to Acumatica was a time-consuming (up to half a day)  task.

She realized that streamlining operations would require a seamless connection between the two separate platforms. “I remember reaching out about integrating ADP with Acumatica and was fortunate to be one of the original test pilot users.”

The hoped-for integration became reality, and after D&L implemented it, the changes came quickly. “As soon as payroll is run, the general ledger entry is created automatically, leading to a much more efficient project flow.”

Additional benefits noted by Dana include better cost management, real-time data access and visibility for improved decision making, and significant time savings. Says Dana, “Simply put, it has saved us half a day in time versus our old manual process. That’s around $8,000 in annual savings.”

Business Transformation with Acumatica and ADP Workforce Now Integration

Like D&L, all Acumatica and ADP customers who take advantage of the robust integration will see improvements in their HCM capabilities, from greater insights into financial and HR transactions and increased efficiency (via automatic synchronization of updates between the systems) to improved security with proprietary integration technology for secure, encrypted, and real-time data access.

“This synergistic relationship, combining Acumatica’s cloud technology expertise with ADP’s powerful employee and financial data, allows our joint customers to be more productive,” said Joseph Algerio, VP, partner development at ADP.

In the press release, he added that because of AI technology, company data is “being used to generate insights that empower companies to make better people decisions.”

For Dana, the integration has been transformative.

“The Acumatica integration has transformed our workflow,” she says. “The confidence I feel in the data is unparalleled.”
