AviontéBOLD | PLATFORM LEVEL

 

[UPDATE] Front Office Only Clients: Updated QBO OAuth2dot0 

• For Front Office only clients utilizing the QBO integration, we have now updated the connection OAuth2dot0. This was done to ensure that QuickBooks users did not lose the ability to integrate, as the old version was being decommissioned.

 

 

AviontéBOLD | CONNECT MODULE

 

[NEW] Background Check Dashboard Widget

• For clients utilizing our background check partners Asurint or Choice in AviontéBOLD, there will now be a widget available for management of their background checks that will display the number ordered, the number needing review, and the number completed.

 

[NEW] Search on Branch

• For both Talent and Companies, there is now a branch field that is also available as a part of the search functionality. Additionally, there is the option to extend branch permissions to both Talent and Companies, which would ensure users will only see and have access to search on branches that they are permissioned for.

 

[UPDATE] Workers' Compensation Code Display Enhancements

• Company | Operation Information area: Current display is workers' compensation code and workers' compensation code description. This is updating to state, workers' compensation code, and workers' compensation code description. This drop-down will also sort by state and workers' compensation code.
• Job Order Create: The workers' compensation code field currently displays workers' compensation code and description. This is being updated to now include state as well. This will also sort by state and workers' compensation code. Additionally, this field filters to display workers' compensation codes for the state of the job's worksite. It is now being updated to also display US codes if any are setup.

 

[UPDATE] Workers' Compensation Codes: Support of US and Canada

• This will allow for the setup and utilization of both Canadian WSIB codes as well as US workers' compensation codes.

 

[UPDATE] rapid! PayCard Registration

• For clients utilizing rapid! PayCard, the registration of a new paycard is now available as a part of the direct deposit set up within the Talent > tax > direct deposit area.

 

[UPDATE] ADP Wisely

• For clients utilizing ADP Wisely there is now an account type available within the Talent > tax > direct deposit area called "ADP Wisely Pay Card", which will ensure that these bank setups will display within the Connect Module

• In Box 14 of the W2, there will now be an employee contribution amount with the code MAPFML for Massachusetts and WAPFML for Washington employees. These same codes will be added to box 16 of a 1099 for applicable employees.

 

[UPDATE] 2020 Federal W4 Taxes Setup Support

• The Federal W4 will be changing for 2020 and the employee tax area is being updated to support these changes. It is important to note that this is the framework to support storing this updated information. The next step is to create Adobe mappings and an eDocument that supports inserting the collected data on this new W4 into the employee tax setup.

• There are changes to the sick accruals for RI, VT and San Antonio, TX, all of which have new effective dates and yearly limits, among other changes.

Q1'2020 and Beyond

 

Avionté has a lot of exciting plans underway for 2020. Our product development themes for the year are experience, performance and expanded choice. Some of our overall themes and areas of focus for our different product lines include:

 

 

AviontéBOLD Front Office: Focusing on our Recruiter, Sales, Talent, and Contact Users

 

• Automation: Focused in on our front office users' experience we are working to provide automation within key workflows. The goal of this effort is not only efficiency but also to provide a strong experience for our users.

 

• Talent Experience: With a dedicated development team focused on our talent and contact users we are looking to further enhance the talent's experience with your organization with the goal of making the areas of our product your talent accesses not only easy to use, but generates a sticky experience that talent chose to come back for.

 

• Client Experience: Similar to the talent experience we are focusing in on how your clients access the Avionté product and the experience they are seeking with the goal of improving their overall experience with your organization making you the desired staffing and recruiting provider. 

 

• Reporting & Analytics: Additional standard reports will be added throughout 2020 based on compliance reporting needs, customer feedback, and industry trends. In addition, BI users will also see enhancements throughout the year. We will also add features such as Self Serve BI for users that want a deeper analytics experience.

 

 

AviontéBOLD Back office: Focusing on our Payroll and Billing Users

 

• Web-Based Back Office: This effort is focused on providing our back office users a web-based experience all accessible from one location on the AviontéBOLD product.  We will begin our focus on Time Entry.

 

• Compliance: Continued focus will be placed on compliance to ensure the application is compliant with state and federal changes that occur throughout 2020.

 

 

Expanded Partner Network

 

• Mobile Workforce Management: Facing the challenge of scheduling employees for positions based on their availability as well as the available days/shifts, Avionté is expanding its partner network to include options that focus on providing us an on-demand staffing solution with a strong mobile-first presence.

 

• Talent Engagement: As a staffing and recruiting firm one of the most common things heard from talent is that they do not hear from you enough. Partnering with solutions that focus on talent engagement will allow some of that burden to be removed by providing more automated, personalized communication with talent based on where they are in your pipeline.
