Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has rolled out a suite of cloud-based business productivity solutions, targeting the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Empowering MSMEs through technology is the driving force behind Converge Workplace, which offers three tailor-fit products: SweldoMo, Device Solutions, and Hotel Management Solution.
“Just because you’re a small business does not mean you shouldn’t have the capabilities of larger enterprises. We’re leveling the playing field here for MSMEs because we want them to be more competitive. With these flexible solutions, they can cut down on additional costs such as a huge IT department or expensive hardware,” Jesus C. Romero, chief operations officer at Converge, said.
SweldoMo is an automated HR, payroll, and timekeeping solution taking care of the basic functions of a business: how to pay its employees. It is flexible enough to adapt to different compensation arrangements such as variable pay.
It also automates the manual processes of computing for payroll, salaries, and deductions. Small businesses can track timekeeping and attendance accurately and in real time. Above all, it is compliant with regulations of concerned government agencies like the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), PhilHealth, and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Device Solutions is a one-stop-shop for easy-to-use devices (such as a Wi-Fi mesh router, hi-powered routers and HD CCTV cameras) that maximize the use of Converge connectivity and boost productivity.
Under the Device Solutions marketplace is Converge Seamless, which is a Wi-Fi mesh router that allows for consistent digital experience wherever you are at home, ensuring against signal degradation no matter the distance from the router.
The newly launched Hotel Management Solution under Converge Workplace is also a cloud- based software that answers to the needs of MSME hospitality players. It equips small hotels and resorts with a direct booking system, room inventory management, and for medium sized accommodations, property management (management of front desk, housekeeping, and maintenance, departments among others).
With these capabilities, hospitality MSMEs can optimize operations and have better visibility of their business: a streamlined view of room vacancy for example can let management know when to introduce promos.
“We’re not purely focusing on connectivity. Of course it’s the most important enabler, the plumbing that allows clean water to flow but what we are actually doing is solving customers’ problems. So it’s connectivity plus the solutions we can offer on top of that,” Romero said.
