It's Thursday afternoon, and your VP of People needs to approve 50 offer letters by the end of the week. But the salary bands in your compensation tool don't match what's in the HRIS. The equity data you pulled is three months old. And HR is still manually entering last month’s new hires into three different systems.
Disconnected systems create hours of manual work, delay key decisions, and can increase compliance risk. Every day without integrated data is another day of firefighting instead of strategic work.
Pave is on a mission to change this. Through real-time integrations with your existing tools, Pave empowers organizations to make faster, smarter pay decisions—without stress.
Why Real-Time Integration Matters for Compensation
Innovative organizations increasingly depend on integrations. Without it, compensation teams face a persistent set of challenges:
- Data silos slow down the business: When your HRIS shows one headcount, your ATS has pending offers that were never approved, and your equity platform lives in its own universe. No single source of truth exists for compensation decisions.
- Information becomes outdated: Is this salary band current? Has this employee's role changed? Did that promotion get processed?
- Manual data reconciliation consumes hours each week. Your compensation team didn't sign up to be data entry specialists—but that's where they spend most of their time.
The result? Slower pay cycles, unnecessary risk exposure, and missed opportunities to make strategic compensation decisions that drive business impact.
Pave’s Robust Integration Ecosystem
Pave connects seamlessly with the HR platforms you already use. At Pave, we’ve developed a holistic integration ecosystem that spans HRIS platforms like Workday, ADP, Rippling, and BambooHR; applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse and Lever; and equity management tools such as Shareworks and E*Trade.
Whether you use one system or ten, Pave consolidates your compensation data into a single, authoritative source—just connect your existing tools and let the data flow.
Real-Time Data, Real-Time Decisions
Pave’s real-time integrations ensure your compensation data is always pulling the latest information from your team’s other HR platforms. You’ll be working with the latest information, regardless of the system it lives in. This real-time edge allows your team to make critical pay decisions with confidence and agility.
- Running merit cycles without weeks of data cleanup: Your employee data, performance ratings, and budget allocations are already up to date. No week-long data cleanup before you can even start.
- Process an equity refresh with the proper context: Current role and job family, tenure, and grant histories flow automatically from your equity platform, enabling you to model scenarios instantly with the complete compensation picture.
- Generate new hire offer letters with confidence: Compare your offer to real-time market benchmarks from our continuously updated dataset—built from a diverse network of contributing organizations —helping you remain competitive in today’s labor market, not one based on six-month-old surveys.
- Answer executive questions (almost) as quickly as they can ask them: "How does our engineering compensation compare to the market in Kansas City?" becomes a five-minute analysis instead of a week-long project.
Empowering Compensation and HR Tech Teams
For Compensation, HR Tech, and IT leaders, data security and compliance are critical to their team’s success. Pave's integrations adhere to industry-leading standards, ensuring sensitive HR and compensation data is protected through encryption, access controls, and audit trails.
The result: teams can focus on strategic work instead of firefighting and data wrangling.
- For Compensation Teams, integrations fundamentally change the focus of day-to-day work:
- Eliminate data entry: When a promotion gets processed in Workday, the compensation history data updates automatically in Pave and is ready for the following merit cycle.
- Reduce reconciliation time: From 8 hours of spreadsheet cleanup to 8 minutes of validation.
- Trust your data: No more second-guessing whether you're looking at the current data pull from all of your systems - it is happening in real time.
- Focus on strategy: Spend time designing compensation and reward philosophy, not chasing down data discrepancies.
- For the HR Tech and IT Teams, integration means less technical debt and ongoing maintenance:
- Fewer custom workarounds: No need to build and maintain complex, one-off data pipelines for every system that supports your compensation cycles.
- Simplified compliance: Audit trails are built in, not bolted on, so you know who made a compensation decision and when it took place.
- Reduced security risk: Fewer manual file transfers and email attachments containing sensitive data.

Onboarding is simple and straightforward. Most integrations can be configured in minutes via APIs, helping HR and IT teams feel supported and confident in their ability to implement integrations efficiently.
Conclusion
Real-time integration isn’t just a technical upgrade—it supports a fundamental shift in how organizations approach compensation decision-making. When data flows automatically and updates continuously, compensation teams can focus on what matters most to the business: designing and delivering competitive, market-informed pay strategies that attract and retain critical talent.
The question isn’t whether your organization needs integrated compensation data—it’s how much longer you can afford to operate without it.
