ABOUT JOHN RAGSDALE, FOUNDER CEO

How TAP was formed…

John Ragsdale, President and Co-Founder of theAppPlace (TAP) Innovations, has always had a knack for process improvement and automation. Building applications is second-nature, with an engineering degree and a CIO mindset spanning 20 years, John put his passion to work as he found ways where information can be more accessible and efficiencies can be gained with his own developed solutions. Departmental budgets are often limited and IT solutions may be difficult to receive approval. John became self-sufficient in creating application solutions with key data integrations that replace spreadsheets and manual or paper-based processes. John continued to develop his customized solution to gain workplace efficiencies by including strong relational database designs, robust reporting and analytics, expandability options, and successful integration with core business systems.

These core business systems for use in human resources, Finance, ERP, and Electronic Medical Records, to name a few, were often good but typically fell short in interoperability and product updates. Reverting to manual processes and spreadsheet data tracking can stall productivity and company growth. Leading the charge to workplace efficiency as John traversed the healthcare, financial, and aerospace industries, he leveraged current technology for automation and expanded product capabilities to include web and mobile rendering software languages. John and his teams found the robust and scalable solutions were valuable to other company departments that struggled with manual processes and a lack of collaborative data sharing. With a base set of tools and solutions, custom apps were quick, easy, and cost-effective to build, adding more reusable functions, features, and modules with each app.

In 2017 theAppPlace (TAP) Innovations was formed to help organizations of all sizes across all industries digitally transform and achieve real business success. Vast IT and product development knowledge means our team and technology can identify manual and spreadsheet-intensive processes as well as non-integrated systems, and implement out-of-the-box solutions or customized applications so people can collaborate in real-time and information can be trusted across an enterprise.

TAP Innovations Automates Texas-based Fabrication Company’s Excel-based Scheduling System

TAP Innovations Automates Texas-based Fabrication Company’s Excel-based Scheduling System

Trident Process System hires TAP Innovations to increase efficiencies and reduce manual efforts with a new streamlined enterprise resource planning (ERP) scheduling system.

 

DALLAS, TX – Feb 13, 2023. TheAppPlace (TAP) Innovations, a certified minority-owned business and leading provider of cloud-based integration solutions across people and data enterprises, managed the schedule and project automation for Gainesville, Texas-based Trident Process Systems. Trident, a fast-growing fabrication company providing engineered skidded packages, vessels, piping, and structural skids to the production and midstream sectors, required a fast and efficient solution to their manual process of tracking all scheduling and workforce needs via excel.

Maintaining schedules for hundreds of jobs and materials in over 100,000 SQ FT of space over seven separate spreadsheets had become overly complicated, time-consuming and prone to errors. Tracking actual completion versus estimated completion took a lot of work and often resulted in rescheduling the entire backlog manually. In order to honor their core value of providing on-time, high-quality solutions, they needed a solution that would help expedite their scheduling process.

In just eight weeks, TAP Innovations will automate the scheduling of resources to projects and subprojects based on business logic requirements and restraints through an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. TAP Innovations will create a main excel dashboard to manipulate workstation and workforce capacities, changing project throughput capacity in scheduling. With this solution, Trident gains more workstations, reduces bottlenecks with a restraint calculator, and streamlines scheduling for maximum efficiency while reducing errors and manual labor. The customer also expects increased estimate accuracy and provided active and closed project metrics.

TAP Innovations removes reliance on spreadsheets to improve workflows and payout accuracy, ultimately improving recordkeeping, insight into global financials, and employee satisfaction. Thousands of users utilize TAP Innovations’ digital tools and solutions daily. Customers benefit from the simplicity of implementations, deliverables, and speed to market with affordable solutions.

Proliant Adds Integration Capabilities for its Payroll and Human Resources Software through New Partnership with TAP Innovations

Proliant Adds Integration Capabilities for its Payroll and Human Resources Software through New Partnership with TAP Innovations

TAP Innovations automates data and document migration for Proliant customers with seamless integration pathway between business systems

DALLAS, TX – February 27, 2023. TheAppPlace (TAP) Innovations, a certified minority-owned business and leading provider of cloud-based integration solutions across people and data enterprises, announces a new partnership with Proliant, a leader in Payroll and human capital solutions. TAP Innovations premier integration technology ensures customers can connect the systems and data they already use with Proliant’s payroll and human resources (HR) software solution. Integration solutions will improve the process of transferring documents for Proliant customers, including historical employee profiles, data, payroll forms, and other pertinent employee information from a legacy HR system into Proliant payroll and HR software.

This partnership was established to eliminate manual efforts associated with connecting systems and data. Partnering with TAP Innovations helps Proliant customers connect two or more systems by expanding offerings with custom integrations to the systems that are not already in the Proliant marketplace. Types of systems include customer relationship management (CRM), point of sale (POS), applicant tracking systems (ATS), learning management systems (LMS), and more. TAP Innovations uses robotic process automation (RPA) and other data transformation digital tools to extract historical documents from multiple systems to be stored within the Proliant solution.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our strategic partnership with TAP Innovations,” remarked Ken Clayton, CRO. “By integrating the two systems, we’ll offer clients a way to pull and store documents quickly so they can focus on managing everyday operations as smoothly as possible.”

This new partnership delivers efficiencies in business processes for Proliant customers in two ways:

  1. Improving Integrations. TAP Innovations expands Proliant’s offerings by delivering custom integrations to systems not on the Proliant marketplace so that customers can continue using the systems needed for everyday operations. TAP Innovations provides the middle-ware solutions, sending information directly back and forth between Proliant and the third-party systems to effectively eliminate manual data entry.
  2. Pulling and Storing Documents. TAP Innovations allows Proliant clients to efficiently extract documents from a third-party system to be stored within Proliant. This is a huge win for new Proliant clients who need I9s, pay stubs, and more, extracted from their legacy systems. Delegating this task to TAP Innovations allows new clients to focus on implementing Proliant instead of losing time moving documents.

“Proliant has a stellar reputation in the market for service and solution excellence, and we are excited to launch this new partnership,” adds John Ragsdale, TAP Innovations Founder CEO. “Together we will accelerate customer satisfaction and improve payroll processes with automated and easier ways to transfer business information.”

About Proliant

At Proliant, our mission is to ensure our clients have the tools and excellent service they need to continue growing. We do this by providing industry-leading human capital and payroll solutions that streamline processes, improve accuracy, and ensure compliance. We’ve tailored our service model for maximum client satisfaction with high-touch, single-point-of-contact service that sets us apart from our competition.
