Staffing software built around the order.

The product supports every staffing type rather than a single vertical. An event agency, construction labor provider, hospitality firm, light-industrial office, professional staffing company, or mixed agency can evaluate the same operating record. The useful question is whether the system fits the agency’s real client, worker, assignment, time, payroll, invoice, and reporting process.

Buying software does not enroll an agency in the TempGuru partner network. Partner status has a separate application and contract. An agency can buy the software without becoming a partner, and a partner agency uses the software under the terms of its partner agreement.

The applicant tracking system keeps candidate and worker records. The CRM keeps client, contact, and mapped operating records. Scheduling and dispatch connect the accepted order to assigned people and shift details. Document signing, the employee portal, time capture, the client hub, and invoice integrations continue that record through approval and billing.

A buyer should verify the handoff between each step, not count menu items. Ask who can change a rate, move a worker, approve time, correct a record, export an invoice, and see the audit history. The exception path usually reveals more than a prepared demonstration.

The client can provide the location, date, shift, role, headcount, and order details in the conversation. The agency remains responsible for reviewing the request, resolving missing information, confirming commercial terms, and deciding whether to accept the order. Guru supports intake; it does not turn an incomplete text into an approved commitment without agency control.

The same text workflow can ask a client to review and approve timesheets. The agency should test identity, permissions, corrections, late approvals, and the record retained after a client responds.

The operating record should show the original assignment, the cancellation, who was contacted, each response, the replacement decision, and the final schedule. A buyer should verify which actions are automatic messages, which actions are recommendations, and which actions require a person to approve the change.

No software can guarantee that a qualified replacement is available for every shift. Availability still depends on the market, timing, role, credentials, worker response, and agency policy. The product can make the response process faster and more visible without pretending that capacity exists when it does not.

A client can approve a timesheet by text, and the agency can review the approved record before it moves into downstream work. The buyer should test missed punches, edited time, overtime rules, multiple approvers, rejected entries, notes, and the difference between a worker submission and a client approval.

Invoice and accounting integrations should be reviewed against the agency’s actual accounting setup. Confirm the fields, mapping, frequency, error handling, duplicate prevention, and reconciliation process. An integration moves data; it does not replace the agency’s payroll, tax, accounting, or contract decisions.

The current product scope covers the operating path from client and worker records through scheduling, time, billing preparation, and reporting. Human-reviewed AI can support recommendations and reports, but the agency remains responsible for employment, qualification, rate, assignment, payroll, billing, and compliance decisions.

Live does not mean every configuration is identical for every agency. During a demonstration, document which function is included, configured, integrated, manual, or dependent on another service. Written scope and contract terms control the purchase.

Paying the subscription portion for all 12 months in advance receives a 15% discount. The percentage fee is separate from that subscription discount. Custom options start at $999 per month; custom scope, dependencies, and any additional commercial terms require a written proposal.

The approved offer does not establish a setup fee, branch fee, messaging fee, migration allowance, user limit, or implementation promise. Those items should be stated in the current proposal when they apply. Review the full pricing guide before comparing the offer with another system.

Use sample records that resemble the agency’s actual work. Verify permissions for recruiters, dispatchers, payroll staff, billing staff, managers, clients, and workers. Check what each role can see, change, approve, export, and reverse. Ask for the audit record after each change.

Then test data export, retention, security controls, support escalation, implementation ownership, and the manual fallback. A polished dashboard cannot answer whether the system will preserve the evidence the agency needs when a client, worker, payroll team, or auditor questions a record.

TempGuru can then demonstrate the current product against the agency’s own order pattern. The review should separate live features from configuration, integration work, manual steps, unavailable capabilities, and custom options. Pricing should be tied to the same written scope.

Agencies that only want software should book a product demonstration. Agencies that also want to be considered for TempGuru client orders can use the separate partner application. The two decisions can happen together, but they are not the same purchase or approval.
