Positive History with Clearview Staffing Software and Unique Product Features Lead Jackson Allied Staffing to Select TSS: Advanced Travel to Manage its Travel Rehab Therapy Business
Dallas, TX - September 13, 2006 – Jackson Allied Staffing attributed its positive history with Clearview Staffing Software and unique technology features as the main reasons for selecting TSS: Advanced Travel as its business management software solution. Marketing, payroll, invoicing and scheduling features were key in the decision making process according to Steve Lockwood, President of Jackson Allied Staffing.
“We evaluated a few software options – none of which were healthcare specific like TSS: Advanced Travel,” said Lockwood, who has been in the healthcare staffing business since 1995.
Lockwood was one of Clearview’s first clients when the company launched its flagship product, TSS, in 2000. Since then Clearview’s product offerings have expanded to include TSS: Advanced Travel, a unique solution for the Travel Staffing industry, and RSS, an online recruiting tool that allows agencies to reach and capture healthcare professional candidates using online employment applications and skills assessments.
Lockwood said his company’s transition to TSS: Advanced Travel was a smooth one. “Adapting to a new system is always a challenge,” Lockwood said. “But our transition went well.” Lockwood mentioned the accounting integration with their third-party software product was especially smooth. “The integration with Great Plains was seamless,” he said.
“Scheduling is just half the battle “ said Lockwood, noting that the handling of important aspects of managing a staffing business such as payroll and billing are key factors in the success of any healthcare staffing software solution. Lockwood noted the combining of all aspects of the business in one central location is the main benefit of TSS.
“TSS ties all the pieces of the staffing process together,” Lockwood said, “It improves and reduces communication.” He noted that reducing internal communication is a good thing in his office. “No one needs to walk into another person’s office and ask about credentialing or other information for a candidate. We know with certainty that what is in the system is what we have,” Lockwood said. He added that having everything in an online application means his internal employees do not need to search through paper files to find information – it is all available in TSS.
A specific aspect of TSS: Advanced Travel that Jackson Allied Staffing uses regularly is the Marketing and Campaigns feature. “This feature allows us to send email blasts to inactive candidates regarding opportunities, and helps with the upkeep of active candidates as well,” Lockwood said. Jackson Allied Staffing’s internal employees use TSS: Advanced Travel to send reminders about expiring licenses and other documentation, and to send thank you or holiday emails to candidates. They also plan to use the Marketing and Campaigns feature to send direct mail to Clients in the future.
