Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma Modernizes Federal and Local Application Processes through Custom Portal

TAP Innovations and DigitalBlue Software, LLC partner to develop online platform for Kickapoo Tribe to engage their tribal community and manage resource needs electronically

DALLAS, TX October 1, 2021 – TheAppPlace (TAP) Innovations, a leading provider of cloud-based integration solutions across people and data enterprises, announced today that in partnership with DigitalBlue Software, LLC, the organizations will develop and launch a tribal portal for the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma to eliminate manual efforts in applying for and managing local, tribal and federal resources. The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma lacks a centralized and digital platform to manage tribal member information and enable access to their personal data and records. TAP Innovations and Digital Blue will solve their technology deficiencies with a custom application to transition from paper-based processes to digital record keeping and electronic transmission of information.

TAP Innovations and DigitalBlue Software will provide technical resources and digital tools to develop a social services portal to help tribal members determine eligible services, apply for those services and track application status updates. Currently, submitting assistance applications for tribal and federal programs like Tribal General Assistance, Federal General Assistance, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Programs and School Clothing Allowance Programs is manual, error-prone and time consuming for Kickapoo tribal members.

The new tribal portal will bring efficiencies and peace-of-mind to the application process with real-time access to information. TAP Custom Application solutions will simplify the complex government application process for tribe members. Components of the portal include:

Tribal community engagement
Member profiles and directories
Application tracking for Tribal General assistance (TGA), Federal General Assistance (FGA), Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Programs (LIHEAP), School Clothing Allowance Program
Reports and analytics
administrative security and user controls
Payment and financial data tracking
Content and document uploads
Dashboards for social services
Onsite training and ongoing support

The portal provides a centralized digital space to engage the tribal community with news, updates and other relevant content for connecting members across the region. TAP Innovations has a longstanding history supporting tribal communities across the United States with affordable, digital tools to expand their community reach and support members with greater access to information.

TAP Innovations Launches System Integration Solutions for Philadelphia, PA Restaurant Startup Honeygow, LLC

Premier integration solutions will connect business systems to automate processes for managing employee records and timesheets across 25 eatery locations

DALLAS, TX and PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 5, 2021. TheAppPlace (TAP) Innovations, a leading provider of cloud-based integration solutions across people and data enterprises, announced today that Honeygrow, LLC, a fast casual restaurant with 25 Philadelphia, PA area locations has chosen TAP Innovations to lead its technology connectivity initiative of integrating core business systems.

Honeygrow launched its restaurant startup business in 2012 and can now be found throughout Philadelphia, PA with 25 locations that accommodate dine-in, delivery and catering food orders.

Honeygrow chose TAP Innovations to close their system integration gap with digital tools and automated data processes for accurate employee records across their business systems. TAP Innovations will prepare an SFTP environment for demographic data extractions, transformations, integration and output file standardization.

5 Ways System Integration Improves Restaurant Operations

5 Ways System Integration Improves Restaurant Operations

By John Ragsdale

How many technology systems are incorporated into managing your restaurant, cafe or bar? A restaurant’s Point of Sale (POS) system is often the IT backbone to run a restaurant efficiently. Inventory control, employee time management, cash flow tracking and more are consolidated into a single system. What about payroll? Moving employee time and tip data from one system to another can be challenging. And, if your restaurant has more than one location? Manual work can pile up quickly.

To curb manual efforts, restaurants often invest significant resources and dollars into systems that bring efficiencies to standard processes. Unfortunately, systems can fall short on integration or connectivity to transfer information. So where does that leave restaurant managers? Manually transferring data, calculating overtime, processing payroll and exporting data to spreadsheets. Recently, a Panera Bread franchise, Rolling Dough Enterprises, was struggling to move employee punches and tip data from their POS to Paycor.

Visibility across multiple locations becomes impossible without the right tools and automated processes to sync POS and HR systems like Paycor. When these systems are connected, management can remove unwanted and often error-prone tasks of managing employee time and tip data. Data connectivity processes for the Panera Bread franchise were automated through system integration to make time and attendance tracking more effective, efficient, and timely for payroll.

If your restaurant is struggling with manual processes to manage data or payroll, consider a third party system integrator. Here are 5 ways third-party integration improves restaurant operations.

Eliminate manual work Exporting data to spreadsheets can be eliminated when data flows freely from your restaurant POS to your payroll application. The calculation of overtime and tip amounts can be configured automatically, reducing human errors and paycheck corrections.
Improve employee satisfaction Inaccurate calculations can cause your employee satisfaction to take a hit, and result in duplicate work or rework of payroll processes. Management can spend less time making payroll corrections and other administrative tasks.
Streamline operations Compliance issues can be reduced significantly with confidence in data transfers, data field accuracy and processing error notifications. Accurate information across multiple systems helps operations run smoothly.
Real-time insight into financial performance Accurate and trusted reporting Is invaluable as restaurants consider location or franchise expansion opportunities. With location, corporate analytics and reporting capabilities restaurants can make real-time adjustments to operations.
Automatically update employment status changes Whether an employee is onboarding or offboarding, their information and status should be consistent across all platforms. Integration makes new hire processes move quickly with automatic data syncs.

How can you help your restaurant managers today? Eliminate the Manual Efforts and SpreadSheets (MESS) workflows that cause headaches and frustration. Consider third-party integration solutions to connect core business systems.

Operations and administrative functions can run smoothly with the right processes to transfer data accurately and automatically. Leverage cloud-based solutions for a quick and affordable implementation. Also, look for sophisticated reporting functions so location visibility can be accomplished through comprehensive data mining.

Solutions that are customizable to match work weeks and unique schedules will enable a quick launch to get your data moving automatically, so your employees don’t miss a beat.
