Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At Fortis Lux, EPAY is how we are automating the financial planning and paying process. Each client is distinct and so are the financial plans. The financial planning department at Fortis Lux sends financial planning invoice emails via EPAY. The first step is to enter the client's name, email address, and the amount charged. While many clients pay the entire financial planning fee all at once, some clients prefer to pay half up front and half at plan delivery. The EPAY system allows for one-time manual or reoccurring payment plans. EPAY is ideal because credit cards are accepted. Occasionally, a client will need to change their credit card information. In this case, there is a simple walkthrough to update the payment method information.

Pros

  • Templated emails notifying clients of invoices.
  • Tracking of invoices outstanding and invoices paid.
  • Accepts credit cards or debit cards.
  • User friendly, particularly with viewing and paying invoices.

Cons

  • Auto resend invoice email to client.
  • Start automatically quarterly payments on a specific date, not just the beginning of the quarter.
  • Ability for advisor to refund and terminate reoccurring EPAY invoices.

Return on Investment

  • Overall business tracking is better which translates to more closed cases.
  • The total planning fee is increasing partly because of the concierge style of the invoice system.
  • White glove service is improved because of the layout and performance of EPAY.

EPAY is an easy to use Payroll management system with outstanding Customer Service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use EPAY Systems as our Labor & Time management software which directly interacts with the Employee time clocks at each of our workforce locations. It seamlessly handles all of our employee punches, breaks, and PTO management used to create the employee paychecks. The Overview function allows us to track all current hours in real-time from anywhere. The reports that are produced communicate directly with WorkDay and are rolled into the Operating Statements for Facility Labor vs the projected budgets for both total hours and total dollars.

Pros

  • Great Customer Service.
  • Real time Performance analysis.
  • Tracking of employee total hours and PTO.

Cons

  • All-time punches are rounded to 15-minute intervals which can skew accurate break times.
  • Slow lading or occasional lags due to server overload.
  • Sync errors cause occasional overlapping punches.

Return on Investment

  • Easy manipulated reports for upper management to analyze.
  • Simple payroll processing.
  • Someone always answers the phone when you call for support!

A proficient workforce management software

Pros

  • The software has a pretty easy-to-use interface that is very user-friendly and offers a clean and basic experience to all of us.
  • Their customer support is good and responsive with some very informed level of assistance that I highly appreciate. The customer support of Blueforce is just incredible. Whenever you need an immediate resolution on any area of concern this tool is right there to help you. You can even put a ticket via the portal in the software and that I think is quite cool.
  • This program is also very adaptable and flexible as we have been able to deploy this system for all our problems to be overcome.

Cons

  • I feel that this product needs more standard reports for looking at different kinds of applicant data.
  • There should be an easier and better way for employees to see different PTO when they are working with a timesheet.

Most Important Features

  • SaaS services.
  • Crowd control.
  • Automation.
  • Customization.

Return on Investment

  • Undoubtedly, this product has saved our time because it works pretty fast and it is also very easy to follow up on.
