Proliant + Nectar Integration

Connect Proliant to Nectar so your payroll employee records keep your recognition program up to date automatically.

Overview

Proliant provides payroll and HR software for growing businesses. Connecting it to Nectar turns the employee records you already maintain into the foundation of your recognition and engagement programs. New hires get Nectar accounts automatically, changes carry over, and departing employees are deactivated.

Ideal for:

• Small and mid-sized businesses running payroll and HR in Proliant
• HR teams that want to avoid maintaining a second employee list
• Companies that want birthdays and anniversaries celebrated automatically
• Organizations hiring steadily

How It Works

Nectar reads employee data from Proliant and uses it to create, update, and deactivate Nectar accounts. Data flows one way, from Proliant into Nectar, so Proliant stays your single source of truth.

What data syncs

• First name, preferred first name, and last name
• Work email (personal email is used only if no work email exists)
• Employee ID
• Job title and department
• Manager
• Office location and country
• Hire date and birthday
• Phone number
• Employment status (active or terminated)

Every field has a job inside Nectar. Manager relationships assign manager roles and Team Insights automatically. Hire dates and birthdays drive work anniversary and birthday celebrations in Nectar Recognition. Departments and locations power analytics filters, Group Give, and audience targeting in Nectar Comms, Nectar Engage, and Nectar Flows. Hire dates and work anniversaries can also trigger Nectar Flows, and manager relationships assign reviewers in Nectar Perform and build the org view in Nectar Signals. Country keeps the rewards catalog relevant for each employee, and phone numbers enable SMS delivery in Nectar Comms.

Sync behavior

• Syncs automatically every day, and an admin can run Sync & Import at any time
• New hires in Proliant are added to Nectar, profile changes carry over, and terminated employees are deactivated
• You choose which departments and employee types sync, and you can pause the sync whenever you need to

New users are created quietly by default. When you are ready to launch, turn on "Send Nectar platform email invitations to new users" so every future hire gets an invite automatically.

Authentication method

A Proliant administrator authorizes read-only access to employee data through a guided connection flow launched from Nectar. The connection runs through Nectar's SOC 2 Type II audited integration partner with read-only access, and Nectar never asks for or stores your Proliant login credentials.

Where users interact

Admins connect, monitor, and pause the integration in Nectar under Workspace Settings, then Integrations. Employees never touch it: they just find an accurate profile, the right manager, and their teammates already in Nectar when they log in.

Key Features + Benefits

• Automatic provisioning: new hires in Proliant get Nectar accounts without a manual upload
• Always-current profiles: title, department, manager, and location changes flow into Nectar
• Automated offboarding: terminated employees are deactivated, not deleted, so access ends and records stay intact
• Celebrations on autopilot: birthdays and work anniversaries are recognized automatically from synced dates
• Controlled launch: accounts are created quietly, and invitations go out only when you turn them on
• Selective sync: choose exactly which departments and employee types are included

Setup and Implementation

Setting up the Proliant integration follows four steps: Connect, Authorize, Map, and Enable. Your Nectar Customer Success Manager guides you through each one.

High-level setup steps

4. Enable: Click Sync & Import, confirm your users on the Users page, and turn on invitations when you are ready to launch.
