Proven client success

Iowa 80 Group has over 1,000 locations and needs remote daily operation information delivered error free to their corporate office.

At the same time, they must produce accurate, timely information for department heads, banks, and customers. All the while coping with tighter corporate management of federal compliance for all newly hired employees.

Reports can arrive via e-mail or text messages at customers, vendors, banking institutions or department heads. This has reduced errors and significantly reduced labor costs.

Iowa 80 Group now maintains federal compliance for new employees, with electronic approval and remote printing of forms with completed employee information.
