What does your Bookkeeper do when you tell them that you are moving software?
Well this one asks you why and before you can answer, I have researched and watched 3 Youtube videos about it.
True story.
This week one of my implementations clients sent me a “its not you it the software” email. Maybe I took it way too personally but it did prompt me to have a closer look at the opposing software.
It is called Rippling and the intriguing thing is that it is IT, payroll and HR software. It's a weird combo at first glance, but I think I like it.
The IT part is probably the weirdest, but if you can imagine it as your employee's IT companion you might be get it. Rippling streamlines the onboarding process like never before. Imagine setting up your new hires with their laptop apps and a password manager even before they step foot in the office – that's the power of Rippling. It will integrate with Office 365, Google and also act as a SSO (Single Sign On) Software as well.
The payroll part honesty worries me in all the webinars boasts compliance for all 50 states (aren't there 52 in the US?) for overtime & breaks in its time and attendance module and medical insurance. The LMS is also configured in the US. Apparently it will also handle garnishees, job tracking and auto journaling to most accounting software. It also handles time and attendance from the web, kiosk and mobile apps… nice Rippling.
I am really interested in the workflows. The example the webinar gave was an employee being locked out of their laptop; Rippling will automate the email to go to whoever handles your IT to get the employee back working as fast as possible.
So Rippling claims they can run a payroll in just three minutes. Yes, you read that right – three minutes. And with seamless integration with QuickBooks Online and Xero. As a payroll nerd I may be triggered by that statement… so I will go boldly where other “bookkeepers” fear to tread I have booked a 1:1. If sales person cannot do a Australian Payroll in 3 minutes you will be the first to read about it.
Dear reader ... stay tuned for more about Rippling.
