The Challenge: Manual Processes and Paper-Based Systems Hindered Efficiency
Elite Staffing is one of the largest privately owned companies within the staffing industry, partnering with light industrial clients and many Fortune 500 companies. With over 30 years in the business, they’ve carved a niche in providing temporary workforce solutions for large-scale operations.
Despite their growth, Elite Staffing’s accounts payable operations were hampered by outdated systems and manual processes for vendor payments, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and excessive reliance on paper.
Paying partners became such a nuisance given the amount of work it took. We needed a solution that could automate our payments and reports, handle tax compliance, and integrate with Acumatica so we could avoid double entries.

The Result: Increased Efficiency and Enhanced Vendor Satisfaction
Since implementing Tipalti, Elite Staffing has seen a complete transition to paperless operations, eliminating mailing costs and paper check issues. They’ve also enhanced vendor satisfaction with seamless electronic payments, increased payment visibility, and minimized disputes and lost checks. By significantly reducing the time spent on processing payments and cutting down on manual errors, Elite Staffing has enhanced efficiency and aligned with long-term operational goals.
With Tipalti, our operations have become very quiet—which is good because it means we’re happy. Checks used to go missing, and people would be frustrated with the manual tasks, but now the process is seamless. I don’t hear anything anymore, which I’d say is a win.
