Rippling is a workforce platform that starts with a core HR system and adds modules for payroll, benefits, IT and device management, and spend.
Rippling IT handles device setup, configuration and software installs across macOS, Windows, iOS and iPadOS, and applies the right permissions and policies to devices automatically. It automates provisioning, single sign-on and permissions, and creates and removes accounts from onboarding to offboarding. On the spend side, you can set card policies by employee record, vendor and transaction amount, and route expense and bill approvals to the right reviewers. Employees can submit expenses by email, receipt upload or manual entry, and when a corporate card is used, Rippling can automatically text and email requests for any required receipts.
Rippling lists industries it serves, including construction, healthcare, manufacturing, restaurants, retail, technology and marketing and ad agencies. It says it can help you onboard, pay and manage employees as well as contractors worldwide. Rippling says its products share your workforce’s full context, such as roles, locations and reporting lines. Rippling says this shared data layer enables smarter automation, and it lists end-to-end workflows such as onboarding new hires, running payroll and managing performance. Travel policies can be built and enforced by role, department and location.
Rippling keeps app access current as your workforce changes, and attribute mapping carries profile updates over to connected apps. Workflows can span tools, for example sending an automatic Slack alert triggered by a Zendesk ticket. Bills sync to accounting software such as QuickBooks and NetSuite. Developers can use Rippling’s development kits to build custom integrations and publish them in the Rippling App Shop. Rippling’s site links to a Help Center and a support status page.
