To reduce the cost associated with payroll processing, AKKEN Staffing now provides built-in capabilities to handle this time consuming process. Since AKKEN provides integrated front and back office management capabilities, payroll processing becomes a seamless component of existing workflows and erases the need to make double entries of payroll data. AKKEN Staffing also automatically processes federal, state, county, city, and school taxes to avoid pay errors which can occur when temporary workers are assigned to different employers within the same pay period.

The net payroll processing function within AKKEN Staffing complements its existing integration with Intuit QuickBooks software and third party payroll service providers, and provides the most complete and flexible choice of payroll processing alternatives for staffing forms. AKKEN QuickBooks Sync automatically exports and synchronizes payroll data in AKKEN with the popular small business accounting program. For companies that prefer to outsource the payroll processing function to a third party, with a single click AKKEN Staffing generates a customized report that is sent to payroll service providers and payroll funding companies.

“Payroll processing is one of the most costly and time consuming operations for staffing and recruitment firms, which must keep track of large populations of workers who are assigned to companies in different states, counties, and cities – sometimes in the same week,” said Giridhar Akkineni, CEO of AKKEN. “AKKEN Staffing eliminates the need to manually enter payroll data in a separate accounting package or generate reports for payroll service providers. Our new capabilities seamlessly integrate payroll processing as part of the normal workflow of managing a staffing business, with no additional steps required.”

Additionally, to help staffing and recruitment firms dynamically manage their business, identify trends, and address internal problems and market opportunities, AKKEN Staffing has added customizable performance management dashboards to its existing report generation capabilities. The new dashboard functionality provides graphical end-to-end visibility into business performance by gathering, aggregating, and presenting data from both front to back office activity in a single view. Users can track and investigate any number of key business performance metrics including: sales pipeline forecast, job order pipeline, job fills, candidate submissions, new candidate sources, user activity, time to fill, gross margin trend, pay/bill trend, and more.  The dashboards and underlying business data they can be used to view are governed by AKKEN Staffing’s centralized access control system. This capability enables management to only allow authorized users to gain access to the dashboards and limit which data they can see based on their role within the company.

TempWorks Software alleges that Avionté principals were employed by TempWorks Software between 1997 and 2006.

TempWorks CEO Gregg Dourgarian said in a statement, “When my father wrote the ancestor programs from which the current TempWorks database evolved, his vision was to remove the stress and disorganization which he felt crippled his former employer and turn his newly minted Manpower franchise into a technological innovator and a role model for other firms in our market.”

Prior to Sendouts.com, Breckenridge founded Integratia, a firm specializing in database and Internet development and contract placement. With the rapid growth of Integratia, Breckenridge realized the need to a robust software system to facilitate the talent acquisition process to fulfill customer needs.

In recognizing this window of opportunity, Breckenridge raised over $4 million from private investors and venture capital firm Gryphon Investments LLLP to launch Sendouts.com. In this process, Breckenridge transitioned the resources and programmers from Integratia to Sendouts, which enabled rapid development of the Sendouts Pro application. Breckenridge has since dissolved Integratia in order to focus entirely on Sendouts.

Breckenridge holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration concentrating in Finance from Washington University in St. Louis. In 2003, Breckenridge was included in St. Louis Business Journal’s “30 under 30″ representing overachieving professionals under the age of 30.
