Bilflo and Top Echelon Partner on Solution for HR Professionals

Bilflo and Top Echelon Software have partnered to provide a comprehensive solution for staffing agencies and human resources (HR) professionals.

The collaboration aims to help these businesses improve contractor management, minimize data-entry errors and expedite payroll processing, the companies said in a Monday (Aug. 21) press release.

“This strategic partnership is dedicated to providing an end-to-end solution for your staffing business by elevating your agency’s performance, improving efficiency and delivering exceptional value to your business,” the companies said in the release.

By integrating Bilflo’s back-office software solution with Top Echelon’s recruiting software tools for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), businesses can export data seamlessly, according to the release.

The integration also enables efficient time tracking by capturing time with mobile-friendly timecards or importing time in bulk, the release said.

The integrated platforms also deliver automated payroll and invoicing and real-time reporting, per the release.

“Export time to your payroll system, create invoices, deliver them to your clients and send them to your accounting system automatically,” the companies said in the release. “…Access helpful business intelligence and set and track team member goals with performance management features.”

In another recent move in the HR space, workforce payments platform Branch launched an online instant payment solution in July. Called Branch Direct, this solution allows companies to pay workers directly to an existing bank account.

Given the positive impact instant payments can have on an employee’s cash flow and talent retention, more companies are making it easier for employees to get paid quickly, Branch said when launching the new offering.

In February, Finch raised $40 million in a Series B round to grow its employment application programming interface (API). The firm said it will use the capital to extend the API’s coverage to more systems, expand into new employment data verticals, and add to its engineering product and success teams.

These moves will expand the capabilities and use of its API that enables access to an organization-wide directory as well as payroll and benefits data.
