Connect Rippling to Kantata to automate professional services management platform access and keep project resource data current with your live workforce.
The Rippling–Kantata integration automates user lifecycle management in Kantata's professional services automation (PSA) platform based on Rippling employment data. Consultants, project managers, and billable staff are provisioned into Kantata on hire with appropriate roles and deprovisioned at termination — ensuring resource pools and project financials reflect the current workforce.
Kantata (formerly Mavenlink and Kimble combined) is used by professional services firms and consulting organizations for project management, resource planning, time and expense tracking, and project financial reporting. Connecting it to Rippling ensures billable resources are managed from the same source of truth as HR and payroll.
Professional services firms using Kantata often maintain resource profiles that are disconnected from the HRIS, leading to departed staff remaining as bookable resources and new hires not appearing in resource planning until manually added. Rippling's lifecycle events drive both provisioning and deprovisioning in Kantata automatically.
thePeopleStack configures Rippling provisioning rules for Kantata with role mapping based on job title and department, ensuring billable staff are created with the correct resource type and billing rate profile. We validate deprovisioning before go-live.
Kantata integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US professional services management workflows.
Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian consultants and professional staff, Kantata provisioning follows the same Rippling-driven lifecycle as US team members.
Kantata is a professional services automation (PSA) platform formed from the merger of Mavenlink and Kimble, used by consulting, professional services, and agency firms for project management, resource planning, time tracking, and project financial reporting.
Rippling ensures Kantata's resource pool reflects the current workforce — so capacity planning and project assignment are based on who is actually employed, not a stale manual roster.
Kantata supports SSO configurations that can be managed through Rippling, tying PSA platform access to active employment status.
Rippling's job title and department fields can map to Kantata's resource type and billing rate categories, ensuring new hires are set up with the correct billing profile on day one.
Configuration takes 2–3 hours depending on the number of resource types and billing rate structures to map from Rippling.
