Drivetrain expands its Rillet integration with native APIs

Drivetrain is deepening its partnership with Rillet with the launch of an enhanced, native integration giving finance teams faster, more reliable access to real-time accounting data.

Drivetrain was the first FP&A platform to build an integration with Rillet, initially launching a Snowflake-based connection that allowed teams to unify accounting and planning data securely and at scale. The new native connector builds on that foundation, offering higher data granularity, on-demand synchronization, and a more streamlined setup experience for mutual customers.

This upgrade reflects a shared product philosophy between the two platforms: make financial data instantly usable, not just accessible.

Note: While the original Snowflake-based integration continues to serve customers well, the new API-based connector offers greater immediacy, flexibility, and depth for teams that want on-demand access to transactional data.

Why This Matters for Modern Finance Teams

Accounting and FP&A teams increasingly operate across separate systems. Rillet has modernized the accounting layer. Drivetrain has modernized financial planning. The gap has traditionally been data movement — slow syncs, brittle pipelines and technical overhead.

Now, with Rillet’s intuitive and well-structured APIs, Drivetrain has introduced a native connector that:

• Syncs all Rillet data (including custom objects) on-demand
• Increases sync reliability
• Provides higher data granularity for surfacing deeper transactional nuances via drilldowns
• Reduces reconciliation work between accounting and FP&A
• Simplifies implementation for customers

The result is a faster close-to-forecast workflow and higher confidence in every planning cycle.

Modern finance teams cannot afford to rely on delayed or batch-based updates as business conditions evolve,” said Alok Goel, CEO of Drivetrain. “We were the first FP&A platform to integrate with Rillet, and this native API connector builds on that foundation. It ensures that when a transaction is booked in Rillet, it’s available on demand inside Drivetrain’s planning models. This reflects our shared commitment with Rillet to eliminating the manual, repetitive work that slows finance teams down.”

Built on Intuitive Architecture

The speed at which this upgrade was delivered is a testament to the quality of Rillet’s engineering. Drivetrain’s engineering team was able to build this robust connector independently, leveraging Rillet’s intuitive and well-documented API standards.

This "self-serve" development process highlights the maturity of the Rillet platform. It allowed our team to focus on mapping complex financial logic rather than troubleshooting connectivity, resulting in a stable, high-performance integration that requires zero maintenance from the customer’s IT team.

A Shared Vision for the Modern Finance Stack

Both companies are focused on building the modern finance stack with Rillet powering the system of record and Drivetrain powering strategic planning.

This expanded integration enables:

• Faster implementations
• Cleaner data models
• More scalable finance operations
• A foundation for automation and AI-driven planning

Together, Rillet and Drivetrain are helping finance teams move from reactive reporting to proactive, real-time decision-making.

Looking Ahead

As finance organizations modernize their infrastructure, integrations stop being nice-to-haves and become strategic.

This launch represents the next step in Drivetrain’s commitment to scalable and future-proof integrations built for finance teams who expect speed, accuracy and flexibility.

This integration is live and available immediately.
