eEmpACT Software Further Automates Web-Based Processes with New eConnect 3.0

Payroll, Timecards and Invoicing Streamlined to Increase Productivity

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (August 1, 2008) – eEmpACT Software, a Bond International Software Company, announces the release of eConnect 3.0, the web-based tool which provides customers and employees greater control over timesheets and their approval process; dramatically reducing data entry time and increasing front and back office efficiencies. “After extensive testing and customer feedback, we are proud of the revolutionary capabilities that are taking eConnect 3.0 to a whole new level of customer and employee functionality,” states Susan Wurst, Vice President of Consulting Services and Account Management at eEmpACT Software.

eConnect 3.0 enables employees to enter their timecards and customers to approve those timecards in just seconds. The process flow is more secure and becomes more efficient regardless of the size of a business and the number of timecard and approvals processes. By using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certification features for protection throughout the application, every eConnect 3.0 function performed ensures security and guarantees the integrity of each transaction.

Some of the new eConnect 3.0 features include:

Customer creation of new temporary and career orders and viewing details, including candidate status during the interview process, as well as customer viewing of candidate resumes. Comments entered are saved and tracked in the appropriate history notes and email notifications are automatically sent to the Recruiters.
Customer viewing of detailed accounting information such as invoices based on security access, along with credit terms and due dates.
Entering, approving and rejecting time cards, with remarks that are saved and tracked at each stage of the timecard process.
Confirmations and notifications that are sent out at every stage of these processes improving communication and documentation for Employees, Customers and Recruiters.

“The continual need to keep up with demanding technology upgrades and improvements is nothing new to the staffing business” observes Mike Carricato, IT Director at StaffMasters, who has been using eConnect 3.0. “Customers and employees are becoming more sophisticated and require access to information more quickly. With eEmpACT’s new, innovative and affordable eConnect 3.0 solution, we have selected the key features we need and now our customers and employees can access information directly from our website. No added confusion of new URLs or unfamiliar sites. It’s easier and quicker now to do business and stay organized at the same time.”

Carricato continues, "Creating a report in the eEmpACT Reporter that prints all of the forms “pre-filled” with all the information from an Employee Master and related records, along with the eEmpACT’s eConnect 3.0 has reduced the amount of time an applicant spends in our office by 150% and this has improved productivity all round."
