Every industry has its own unique needs and industry specific software.  Over the past few years CAL Business Solutions has developed expertise around the needs of staffing and recruiting companies.  Thousands of staffing industry users rely on Bullhorn for their front office/applicant tracking software. And every front office package needs to connect to the back office, right?  Welcome StaffLinx GP!  StaffLinx GP is an integration tool created by CAL Business Solutions that allows Microsoft Dynamics GP to connect to Bullhorn.

Bullhorn collects critical data the accounting department needs to create customer invoices and employee paychecks. StaffLinx GP allows companies to easily share this information with Microsoft Dynamics GP to eliminate double entry and make every department more efficient.

With the custom web views in StaffLinx GP Bullhorn users can access key financial information – such as payroll, invoices and balances – without ever leaving Bullhorn!

• Staffing Managers will be happy when they can serve their clients faster by tracking an invoice or checking a balance from Bullhorn without having to wait for a response from the finance department.
• Finance will be happy when they can eliminate double entry between Bullhorn and your accounting system. (and take less calls from the staffing managers).
• Owners will be ecstatic when they see detailed financial reports showing the increased productivity as a result of eliminating costly data entry, automating time entry and expediting invoicing.

One happy StaffLinx GP user is Pridestaff. By using the StaffLinx GP tool to tightly integrate Bullhorn and Microsoft Dynamics GP, PrideStaff avoids the time-consuming and potentially error-prone task of manually double entering payroll and invoice data.  Pridestaff estimates they save approximately 1,000 hours a month across 36 offices using Microsoft Dynamics GP with StaffLinx GP.

“There’s so much integration and flexibility in the system. It’s not complex to process an invoice or generate payroll. All screens have a common look and feel, so it’s very user-friendly, easy to understand and easy to learn, which is important to us. The staff at CAL has been fabulous to work with and has provided some very innovative solutions for us.  I was originally concerned that the CAL office was located so far from us, but using online tools, it’s never been an impediment.”- Christine Huebert, Controller, PrideStaff Inc.  (Read the Full Case Study)
