VCG Enhances StaffSuite Staffing Software User Interface; Improves Navigation and Productivity

The recent release of StaffSuite version 5.2 is designed to enable users to improve their efficiency and response levels to meet the requirement of staffing firms. StaffSuite is part of a staffing software solution that can be integrated with Web-based modules for employee/candidate/client self service, business intelligence, time-keeping and personality assessment.
 
VCG's fully-integrated staffing software StaffSuite version 5.2 focus on the every-day tasks that recruiters and staffing coordinators deal with, streamlining usability and improving performance. These updates make StaffSuite's robust functionality even more intuitive to a user, which shortens training and speeds adoption.
 
For instance, usability and navigation are enhanced with new main toolbar icons that are larger and more colorful. Further, StaffSuite's Microsoft (News - Alert) Outlook-like navigation tree structures now use clean, sharp high color images to help guide user actions more effectively. In addition to this, screens opening on the StaffSuite Main Workspace are now easier to view with the addition of color to the background.
 
Every-day use of StaffSuite staffing software is improved with updates to many screens that enable more information to be viewed in context. For example, screens that detail employee profiles and preferences are larger so that users can view all of the information in grid lists. Similarly, many operational and payroll/billing screens are enhanced to help users maintain and view this information.
 
Significant updates for StaffSuite is also in results grid where search results and other data are viewed. First, users can now zoom in and out on the grid contents, just like applications such as Microsoft Excel. Second, color coding enhancements to the results grids and their tabs improves their legibility in use. Third, the user can now customize grid tab and highlight colors to personalize or aid them in their daily activities. VCG also added the ability for the contents of a grid listing to be printed or copied to the clipboard and pasted into another application for further manipulation.
 
Steve Taylor, president and CEO of VCG, said that, "Beta testers and early adopters of this important update to StaffSuite have been unanimous in their praise for these enhancements. Our developers listened to customer feedback and turned that into productivity building improvements that will pay off for customers as they deliver faster and more efficient service."
 
VCG's StaffSuite since introduction in 1999 is one of the fully integrated staffing software certified for 1,000 users, and is used by firms ranging in size from a single office to nationals. StaffSuite integrates a comprehensive front office suitable for full-service temporary and permanent placement with the industry's most robust payroll/billing, reporting and document management capabilities.
