Benefits of Integrating UltiPro with Abacum

The UltiPro-Abacum integration creates a powerful connection between workforce data and financial planning, enabling CFOs and finance leaders to make data-driven decisions about their most significant expense—human capital.

Strategic Workforce Planning

Real-Time Headcount Synchronization

Abacum automatically pulls employee data from UKG Pro, including salaries, benefits, departments, and locations. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures your headcount planning in Abacum always reflects current workforce composition. Finance teams can instantly see the financial impact of hiring decisions, promotions, and organizational changes.

Enhanced Budget Accuracy

By connecting actual payroll data from UKG Pro with Abacum's budgeting and forecasting tools, finance teams achieve unprecedented accuracy in personnel cost projections. The integration enables:

• Automatic updates to budget models when employee changes occur

• Precise benefits and tax burden calculations based on real data

• Scenario planning for different hiring strategies and compensation adjustments

Operational Excellence

The integration streamlines month-end close processes by automatically reconciling payroll expenses between systems. Finance teams save hours previously spent on manual reconciliation while gaining confidence in their numbers. This automation allows them to focus on strategic analysis rather than data management.

With Abacum's powerful visualization capabilities combined with UKG Pro's comprehensive workforce data, organizations can create dynamic dashboards showing:

• Cost per employee by department or location

• Productivity metrics linked to financial performance

• Headcount trends aligned with revenue growth

This unified view empowers finance leaders to collaborate effectively with HR, providing insights that drive smarter workforce investments and optimize organizational performance.
