Payroll Funding Company for Placement Agencies

 

Situation


Company had several hundred clients – placement agencies and needed the system to bill them and make payroll transfer to their temps.  Standard mid-size accounting application with payroll module can produce payroll checks and direct deposits.  Management decision was to have individual database/company per client, which resulted in several hundred SQL databases.  The addition of new clients required automatic setup in this case, plus consolidation of accounting records from these client databases into corporate accounting required sophisticated SQL integration.

 

Our approach

 

Our research confirmed supported management decision to have separate Great Plains company for each individual client and we suggested

-          To have SQL Server Data Transformation Package for installing and setup new client

-          SQL DTS package for consolidation of client’s companies transaction into Corporate GL

-     Dexterity, Modifier with VBA standard Great Plains logic customizations to fit business logic

 

Results

Collection Agency

 

Situation


Company had UNIX based collection system.  However feeding data into accounting package with billing and payment functionalities was a need.  The old accounting system was too small to serve growing business volume.  The uniqueness of the business processes required automatic switch from the original creditor to the bank, who bought the AR from this creditor

 

Our approach

 

We suggested deployment of Great Plains Integration Manager to feed data from UNIX based collection system into Great Plains

-          VBA vendor translation in Integration Manager

-          VBA for payment check date and additional fields modification formula programming

 

Results

 

-          Integration of Collection System with Great Plains
