          Reason #1 to select SkilMatch...
                 Our true total integration
 

 

 

“It’s so wonderful to be able to have our front office people answer all those questions for temps and customers that we used to have to refer to our ‘picky’ accounting department. Integration makes us so much more efficient and productive and smart.”

 

 

 

There’s a BIG difference between “InteGRATED”  and “InterFACED”!

 

Many systems are marketed and advertised as inteGRATED.

But they’re not inteGRATED.  They’re interFACED...

 

 

InterFACED is COMPLICATED!  When a business is started in one building, then needs to expand to the building next door, a bridge (i.e., interface) is needed between them.  When a third building is needed, a bridge to that building is also needed.  Each building was built by a different builder, using a different electrical system, different plumbing, a different foundation, different everything.  Who builds and maintains the bridges?  If the foundation of one building moves or changes, the bridge probably needs adjustment, too.  Who is responsible? The bridge builder? The house builder(s)? YOU?  The first builder isn’t responsible for the second house or the third.  And the bridge builder will always say, “The bridge was fine when I built it.”

 

Typical interFACED software is similar.  “TempX” search software interFACES to “PayX” payroll software which interFACES to “GenX” general ledger software.  Each product was built independently with different databases, different rules, even different languages.  They “upload” and “download” to each other through “bridges” (interfaces) written by someone, usually another different party.  In addition, the databases, typically, only upload in one direction, not back to the front office database where it is needed for efficiency and productivity!  When one version changes or something doesn’t work, who takes responsibility, and how fast, since most problems are time-sensitive?

 

InterFACED is COMPLICATED, right?

 

 

 

InteGRATED is SIMPLE!  A multi-story office building is built by one builder using one electrical system, one plumbing system and one foundation -- all inteGRATED to provide a stable environment that makes sense.  It all works together and everyone knows who is responsible if something needs to be adjusted or fixed.

 

SkilMatch is a complete, inteGRATED system.  It was developed for our own staffing company more than 25 years ago, and it’s improved every year, just like a Mercedes is improved each year.  We designed, authored and own the front office, the payroll and billing, the receivables, the payables, the staff payroll and the general ledger.  It all works TOGETHER and it is not necessary to upload or download data between “products”.  One customer file and one employee file are used throughout the system.  Back office information, like payroll check and billing detail is available for viewing by front office staff with security.

 

All SkilMatch information flow is two-way.  For instance, if accounting sets a credit limit for a customer, and the customer exceeds the limit, the system can automatically prevent the front office from entering new orders.  Or, imagine someone in your front office answering this question for one of your temps, “How many hours do I need to get my next vacation bonus?” How would they answer?  In SkilMatch, the front office person clicks “Bonuses” on the employee’s file and says, “You last took a bonus in April of 2005 and you currently have 857 hours towards your next bonus.”  SkilMatch has many, many inteGRATED features for better efficiency.  All information is in one database and is quickly available where and when it’s needed!
 
 


InteGRATED is SIMPLE!

 

SkilMatch is truly inteGRATED and handles all problems, 24x7.

 

Here is the crucial question to ask to really know which software is truly inteGRATED and which software is merely interFACED...

 

“Who WROTE, OWNS and SUPPORTS all the software?”

          Reason #2 to select SkilMatch...
                 Our stable established organization
 

 

 

“We assumed all software vendors would be the same as our old supplier. So we just picked good software and assumed we’d be on our own. What a nice surprise when SkilMatch turned out to be a company like ours - absolutely focused on customer service!”

 

 

 

“Who” you buy from is just as important as “what” you buy.

 

We’re nice people.  We have great products and support.  We have thousands of loyal users.  We’ve been in business for over 50 years.

 

We’re the kind of organization we would want to support us if we were shopping for a system.

 

We’re the industry’s oldest, most-stable vendor.  SkilMatch has been in the Staffing Industry under the same ownership for over 50 years.  Our software design grew from requirements to automate our own staffing service, Lyman's, in the mid-1970s.  Founded in 1951, and with more than 100 staff employees located in Houston, we needed to design a multi-user, user-friendly, easy-to-learn, fully integrated system.  Our software runs virtually "bug-free" and is enhanced each year.  We sold our staffing business in 1988 and devote 100% of our efforts to SkilMatch.

 

Our staff is tenured and knowledgeable.  SkilMatch staff members know your staff’s jobs and problems because they have had those jobs!  Virtually every SkilMatch employee has worked in staffing before switching to “software” and most of our staff have been with us over 10 years - many over 25 years!  Our programmers and development staff know all the ins and outs of our products because every line of computer code in SkilMatch was written by one of the current programming staff.

 

Our customers are loyal and don’t replace our systems.  We provide our premier SkilMatch software and systems to many staffing enterprises across the USA.  There are thousands of SkilMatch users.  Our customers depend on us and keep our systems as they grow from a few users in one office to hundreds of users in many offices.  We have replaced most other systems.

 

Talk to our customers about our support.  Our support system is "unbelievable", "superior", "like no other" -- that's what our customers say! We are here to support you the way you want to be supported.  Our customers are our biggest fans.  If you haven't already talked with our customers, we encourage you to talk to them -- so that they can tell you what you've been missing without the SkilMatch system.

 

Annual user meetings help us keep up-to-date.  Our annual user-group meetings are held to inform our users of new enhancements, new products and general technology updates.  The users are also encouraged to participate in an interactive discussion that contributes to a “wish list” of SkilMatch enhancements.

 

We’ve been selected by IBM to represent the staffing industry.  SkilMatch was selected by IBM to be a remarketer for the staffing industry because of our industry expertise.  We know the hardware details, the software details and the staffing business details!

          Reason #3 to select SkilMatch...
                 Our Web-based or server-based implementations
 

 

 

“Now we have all the ability the big guys have. Internet timecards, pay cards, website information for our customers and temps. As a local company with everything our customers need, they don’t need to buy from a national company anymore.”

 

 

 

“One size fits all” doesn’t make sense in today’s complex business and technology environment.

 

SkilMatch offers an ASSORTMENT of system implementation alternatives and pricing models:
 
 


ü   Server-Based or ASP Web-Based System Technology.

ü   Full-Suite or By-Module Integrated Software.

ü   Purchase or Rental or Purchase+Rental payment plans.

 

Other vendors have limited options.  When a vendor only offers server-based systems or only offers Web-based systems or only offers any one kind of system, that vendor is not recognizing the variety of needs and requirements that individual companies may have in today’s demanding environment.

 

SkilMatch has many options.  From the smallest start-up to a large public company, SkilMatch has flexible products and pricing plans available.  For instance, you can “rent” SkilMatch via the Internet, for $39 - $99 per month, per user, using our IBM servers at our corporate office without daily system responsibilities like back-up or software updates.  Or, you can license SkilMatch for your own server for $695 - $1690 per user.

 

 

 

          For medium to large companies,

                   we recommend our server-based flagship product...

 

 

 

    

 

This is a traditional, full-suite, server-based purchase.  SkilMatch “Platinum” requires software license purchases and requires a customer-owned server.  The integrated software suite includes:  FrontOffice (search, sales), PayBill (pay, bill, receivables), BackOffice (staff payroll, payables, general ledger).

 

Just one server is needed.  SkilMatch Platinum customers need just one server to provide access for all offices.  They manage their server and back-ups.  As they grow, the SkilMatch software and system grows with them and they should never have to change software or go through a disruptive conversion.  Their SkilMatch system is fully integrated, front office through pay and bill, accounts receivable, accounts payable and staff payroll, with everything posting automatically to the general ledger.  They can operate in, and report taxes to, any U.S. taxing authority.  They can run and manage up to 89 different federal ID companies, each with multiple branches and separate databases.  SkilMatch Platinum customers can compete more effectively because they have a full-suite software system that is competitive with the systems of the largest staffing companies.

 

SkilMatch Platinum is designed for staffing services that have adequate capital to invest in a full-suite, owned, traditional, complete and flexible hardware and software system structure.

 

Most medium to large and multi-office staffing companies choose this system.  It’s the best!

 

With SkilMatch Platinum, you can start and stay with the best!

 

 

 

                   Before we present our four ASP Web-based choices,

          best suited for smaller companies,

                             let’s answer these questions...

 

 

 

“When I first heard we could rent software like the big guys have for just $99, I didn’t believe it. I thought there had to be a catch. Now that we have SkilMatch, it’s possible for us to compete, technologically, against the largest multi-national staffing companies.”

 

 

Why so many options?  In the past, startup costs for our premier Platinum system were, often, unaffordable for smaller companies.  They frequently couldn’t afford SkilMatch, and bought something else that didn’t provide everything they needed.  When growth provided the necessary capital to upgrade to SkilMatch, they had to experience a disruptive conversion and lost their investment in the inferior system.
