Keep Your People, Jobs, and Time in Sync with Arcoro + Trimble Spectrum

Arcoro Core HR and Arcoro Time (formerly ExakTime) both connect directly to Trimble Spectrum. Employee records stay current, crews clock in against the same jobs and cost codes Spectrum uses, and approved hours land in Spectrum ready for payroll review. No double entry, no re-keying.


Stop Entering the Same Employee Data Twice. Connect Arcoro and Spectrum.

Arcoro’s Core HR syncs employee data directly to Viewpoint Spectrum through Trimble's AppXchange, so your payroll team always has accurate, up-to-date information — without the manual re-entry.

Why Connect Arcoro + Trimble Spectrum?

icn_ben_data accuracy
One Accurate Source of Data, Everywhere

Each record lives in the system that owns it. Trimble Spectrum sends jobs, cost codes, equipment, and other setup data into Arcoro Time, and Arcoro Core HR sends employee tax, direct deposit, compensation, and benefits data to Spectrum. Your teams stop entering the same information twice.

From the Jobsite to Payroll Review, Automatically

Approved hours move from Arcoro Time into Trimble Spectrum as pre-time card lines, already matched to the right employee, job, cost code, and pay type. Payroll keeps full review and approval control in Spectrum, with no files to build or upload.

Catch Problems Before Payroll Does

The Trimble Marketplace certified connection checks key data before time reaches Spectrum. A missing job, rate code, or department is flagged and logged, duplicate submissions are blocked, and changes made after time is sent are reported so payroll can double-check.

Arcoro Core HR + Spectrum Overview

Arcoro Core HR is the system of record for your people. Employee demographic, tax, direct deposit, employment, compensation, and benefits data syncs one way from Core HR to Spectrum through Trimble's AppXchange, on demand or on a schedule you set. Payroll always works from current records, with no re-entry on the Spectrum side.

Best for: Companies that want Arcoro to manage employee records, onboarding, and benefits, and keep Spectrum's payroll data current automatically.

Arcoro Time + Spectrum Overview

Arcoro Time captures accurate hours in the field, against the same jobs, cost codes, and equipment set up in Spectrum. Approved time returns to Spectrum's pre-time card approval screen on a scheduled or on demand sync, so payroll reviews and approves it where they already work. When configured, equipment hours travel as separate lines for job costing.

Best for: Companies that run payroll in Spectrum and want accurate, job-costed field time without re-entry. 

Using Both Together

When you use Arcoro Core HR and Arcoro Time together, Core HR stays the system of record for employees and sends their data to Spectrum. Arcoro Time picks up jobs, cost codes, and other setup data from Spectrum and sends approved time back. Each system owns the data it does best, and nothing is entered twice.

Arcoro Core HR + Spectrum: How Data Flows

Arcoro Core HR is the single source of record for your employee data. Data syncs one way from Core HR to Viewpoint Spectrum through Trimble's AppXchange, either on demand or on a schedule you set up. Your payroll team always has accurate employee demographic, tax, direct deposit, compensation, and benefits information in Spectrum, without manual re-entry.


Arcoro Time + Spectrum: How Data Flows

The integration runs in two directions. First, company setup, job, and employee data flows from Spectrum into Arcoro Time, so crews always work against current jobs, cost codes, and coworkers. Then approved hours flow back to Spectrum as pre-time card lines, already matched to the right employee, job, and cost code, ready for your payroll team to review and approve.

Frequently asked questions

How does the integration work?

Arcoro offers two Spectrum integrations, which you can use on their own or together. Arcoro Core HR is the system of record for employee data and pushes it to Spectrum through Trimble's AppXchange. Arcoro Time syncs in two directions through a Trimble Marketplace certified connection: jobs, cost codes, and other setup data come in from Spectrum, and approved time goes back to Spectrum's pre-time card approval screen. Both integrations are pre-built, tested, and ready to deploy.
