“We doubled our direct sales headcount in the quarter and initiated a number of marketing related programs to increase company and brand awareness. While these planned activities increased our spending in the quarter, we believe they are the proper investments to position the Company for future growth,” stated Thomas Bednarik, President and CEO.
“We continue to gain traction in the partner space, forming both referral and co-branding relationships with organizations that need a time and labor management offering to effectively compete in their marketplace,” added Bednarik. “During the second quarter, the Company entered into an agreement with Epix, a large professional employer organization (PEO), and other partners in the payroll, employee staffing and PEO space.”
On a direct sales basis the Company closed a number of transactions in the quarter including a $200,000 three-year commitment with a major not-for-profit organization in the Midwest for the Company’s hosted NETtime web-based application. Additional clients were added in the following markets in the quarter: textile manufacturing, banking, telecom, hotel and casino, human resource staffing and medical manufacturing.
The Company also closed a significant round of financing in the quarter to fund its increased sales and marketing activities. The funds will also allow the Company to expedite the development of new technology products.
The Company continues to pursue its acquisition strategy by identifying potential candidates in the workforce management and employee forecasting / scheduling markets.
