Rippling

Quick Summary

We’re integrating with Rippling to transform their unified workforce management platform into the engine that powers all your business workflows. When someone joins your company in Rippling, Tallyfy automatically orchestrates everything - from ordering their laptop to setting up benefits to scheduling training - all while Rippling handles the core HR, IT, and finance operations.

Why This Integration Matters

Rippling revolutionized workforce management by unifying HR, IT, and Finance. But even with Rippling’s automation, countless processes still require human coordination - equipment approvals, training schedules, project assignments, and compliance tasks.

Our integration bridges this gap. Rippling handles the systems. Tallyfy handles the processes. Together, they create truly automated operations where nothing requires manual follow-up.

What We’re Building

Unified Onboarding Workflows

Go beyond basic provisioning to complete readiness:

  • Pre-Arrival Preparation: As soon as someone signs their offer in Rippling, trigger workspace setup, equipment ordering, and team notifications
  • Device Configuration: Rippling provisions the laptop, Tallyfy ensures it’s configured with project-specific tools and access
  • Team Integration: Automatically schedule meet-and-greets, assign mentors, and create first-week agendas
  • Progressive Onboarding: 30/60/90-day check-ins triggered by hire date with manager reviews

IT Operations Orchestration

Extend Rippling’s IT management with process workflows:

  • Access Requests: Route non-standard access requests through approval chains
  • Equipment Lifecycle: Track laptop refresh cycles, warranty expirations, and replacement workflows
  • Security Incidents: When Rippling detects issues, Tallyfy orchestrates the response
  • Software Approvals: Manage requests for tools outside standard stack

Finance Process Automation

Connect Rippling’s finance features to workflows:

  • Expense Approvals: Route expense reports through complex approval matrices
  • Corporate Card Management: Orchestrate card requests, limit changes, and violation reviews
  • Budget Workflows: Trigger processes when headcount or spending approaches limits
  • Vendor Management: Coordinate new vendor setup and compliance

How to Connect Today
