This small company that is connected via partnership and ownership with Applied Logix Partners is an ATS provider to small staffing firms. It offers both an enterprise product that clients buy and a remote access service that is subscription-based.
Its founder, Dan Kenton, has an extensive history in IT and software development. In 1990, he founded an IT staffing firm and developed PowerPlace to automate the routine recordkeeping and bookkeeping functions of the office. He's a partner in Applied Logix and is also listed as one of the leaders of HRWorldNet, an international consulting and executive recruitment firm specializing in the hospitality industry.
The company's website doesn't provide much background on the company or its clients, though it does include a few testimonials. One real plus that we haven't seen publicly available from other software vendors we reviewed is a knowledge base that offers extensive help. The company also has a sales office in the United Kingdom and is seeking investment capital up to $500,000 in order to expand its operations.
