Taking advantage of the mobile opportunities With new gizmos and gadgets being released all the time, it is vital that companies keep on top of the ongoing demand to view information on the web through different platforms. Recent figures released by the global recruitment search engine ‘Indeed’, have found that 50% of job searches have taken place on mobile devices. With such a high percentage, it is up to the businesses to ensure that their online platforms provide a service that matches the demands of their client base. This has been one of our main focuses here at ePayMe. We understand how valuable time is to both the contractors and agencies we work with and understand the importance of ensuring that our new website (that was launched last year) worked on a range of platforms, allowing it to be accessed on the go. Last month alone we have seen that over 27% of visits to our website were through mobile phones and a further 12% through mobile tablets. That’s a staggering 39% of traffic to our web page coming via mobile devices. Through these figures we saw the need to ensure that our online portal used by our contractors was also optimised for mobile devices. In continuing to improve the service we offer our contractors, in November, ePayMe were pleased to launch the latest software upgrade, making our online portal mobile friendly. Here, contractors are able to view payslips, submit expense claims and view previous submissions and the status of those submitted. We have had great feedback from our contractors, who have been able to benefit from completing their expense submissions and viewing important documents at any time of day (even on the commute to work) freeing up valuable time upon their return home from work. We also understand that choosing the right outsourced payroll company can make a huge difference to your work-life balance.
