Provision frontline access from your Dayforce data

Connect Frontline reads employee records from Dayforce and turns them into secure, email-free SSO for every workplace platform your teams use. Access follows the HR record, so it opens on day one and closes on exit.

Dayforce becomes the access record

Dayforce already knows who works for you, in what role, at which site. Connect Frontline reads that record and turns it into secure platform access.

Joiners arrive ready to work straight from the start

A new starter in Dayforce arrives with access already assigned by role, brand or location. No ticket, no manual account creation, no waiting on a corporate email address that frontline workers never get.

Leavers removed everywhere, automatically

A termination in Dayforce closes access across every connected platform in the same event, with the change logged and available in the Admin Console for future reference.

FAQ

Common questions

How does Connect Frontline read employee data from Dayforce?
Through Dayforce's API, read-only. Connect Frontline pulls the fields it needs to determine access; name, role, site, brand and employment status. Pay, banking and sensitive personal data stay where they are. Nothing is written back, so Dayforce remains the source of truth.
What happens when someone joins, moves or leaves in Dayforce?

Joiners are provisioned before their first shift, with access assigned by role, brand or location. Movers pick up the right access when their record changes. Leavers are closed across every connected platform in the same event, and the change is logged in the Admin Console.

Our frontline workers are in Dayforce but have no company email. Does that matter?
No. That's the case Connect Frontline is built for. Each frontline worker gets a ConnectID, with their account activated by a self-serve QR code and verified against their Dayforce record. No inbox, no personal email address, no shared logins.
Do we need a CSV export from Dayforce?
No. Manual exports is where orphaned accounts often come from. Connect Frontline reads Dayforce directly, so access reflects the current record rather than the last file someone remembered to upload. CSV is supported where a system genuinely can't be connected, but it isn't needed for Dayforce.
Can we use Dayforce for some staff and something else for others?
Yes, this is common particularly across multiple brands or after an acquisition. Connect Frontline reads from more than one HR system at once and applies the same access rules across all of them, so you get one access layer rather than one per source.
How long does rollout take?
Connecting Dayforce and going live can be done in as little as two weeks. Once live, workers activate their own account via the QR code process, with setup taking less than two minutes to complete. The Admin Console tracks claim rates by site as you roll out, so you can see who is and isn't onboarded.
What does IT have to maintain?
Once Dayforce is connected, very little. We'll help set the access rules at the start so the right roles get the right access. After that the lifecycle runs on its own and the audit trail builds itself, with every sign-in and access change recorded and exportable whenever a compliance review comes up.
