THE REALITY

Frontier is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

chris21 runs HR and payroll but finance posts headcount on a batch, IT provisions by ticket, downstream systems consume file exports, and AI models stall because worker data spans REST, SOAP and file surfaces.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for Frontier, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

Finance and ERP that need headcount, comp and cost-centre data tied to the right GL
IT identity (SSO, SCIM, Active Directory, Okta) provisioning from the worker record
Payroll and rostering systems that must line up with the chris21 record
Public-sector reporting and operations systems consuming HR data
Data warehouses and AI agents needing live headcount, comp and attrition signals

What Rayven reaches

Finance, identity, ATS, LMS + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

Frontier + every finance, identity and IT system
Finance, identity (SSO/SCIM), ATS, LMS, time + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

Frontier + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

5 examples of what Rayven customers run on Frontier + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

How long does Frontier Software chris21 integration take with Rayven?

Most chris21 integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single chris21-to-finance or chris21-to-identity flow runs in 2-4 weeks; a full HR fabric with AI-led analytics runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery, all with Australian-based expert delivery.

chris21 uses file-based integrations today. Can Rayven move us to real-time?

What are the technical specifics of Frontier Software chris21 integration with Rayven?

Rayven connects Frontier Software chris21 and ichris through their REST and SOAP APIs plus file-based integrations for real-time bidirectional sync, unifying all three surfaces so data stays consistent. Worker records, positions, establishment, compensation and workforce-management data are preserved with field-level mapping into ERP, IT identity and accounting targets. Identity provisioning runs over SCIM so Active Directory and Okta match the live worker record. Scheduled file exports, still common in chris21 deployments, are replaced with real-time integration events so finance, reporting and identity no longer wait on the batch window. Payroll and rostering feed from one record, with statutory handling configurable to your local payroll tax and compliance environment. Multi-entity and multi-agency estates reconcile to one employee master via Rayven's customer-master layer. Validated against chris21 and ichris with HR and payroll live across Australian public sector and enterprise deployments.
