Forecast

Automate Forecast project management access from Rippling so project teams get resource planning tools on day one and lose access cleanly when they leave.

What the Rippling +

Forecast

 Integration Does

The Rippling–Forecast integration automates user lifecycle management in Forecast's AI-powered project and resource management platform based on Rippling employment data. Project managers, team leads, and billable staff are provisioned into Forecast on hire with appropriate roles and deprovisioned automatically at termination — keeping resource planning data protected and current.

Forecast combines project management with resource forecasting and financial project reporting. Connecting it to Rippling ensures resource capacity is always based on the current workforce rather than a manually maintained user list in Forecast.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

Professional services firms using Forecast often have inflated resource capacity in their forecasting models because departed staff remain as active resources in Forecast after leaving. This inflates available capacity calculations and distorts project scheduling. Automated deprovisioning from Rippling immediately removes departed employees from the resource pool.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures Rippling provisioning rules for Forecast with role mapping based on department and project team structure. We validate that deprovisioning removes the employee from active resource allocations before go-live.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Forecast integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US project management and resource planning workflows.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian project staff, Forecast provisioning follows the same Rippling-driven lifecycle as US team members.
