In Preparation for Post Covid Workplace BTI Expands Retrofit Division

Hanover, MA, Jun 20, 2020 -- During the current shutdown, its projected that more than 62 percent of Americans are working at home. Many workplaces, particularly office space, will be at 25 percent capacity during the initial return to work. In preparation for the inevitable adjustment in how many people will be working in an office, Brookline Transportation, Inc. (BTI), a Mayflower Van Lines agent specializing in commercial, lab, medical, science and residential moves, recently expanded its retrofit services.

BTI’s retrofit services focus on revamping or removing items from office space and other facilities going through a downsize or upgrade. Those services can range from decommissioning old workstations to installing, wait for it, cubicles,” said George Rohlfing, owner of the family-owned and operated Brookline Transportation, Inc (BTI). “As a company that’s been around for the past few decades, we took the cubicles out when everybody went to an open floor plan. We can help in putting some version of those cubicles back if that’s what companies want.”

The return to work could also find companies in need of other tweaks to the workplace. That could include decommissioning some office furniture-desks, chairs, workstations, lamps, computers, printers, etc.

For clients looking to remove old furniture, BTI’s decommissioning services include contacting a network of non-profits to find a suitable donor/recipient. In some cases, this type of donation is tax deductible.

Furniture that can’t be donated requires specific steps for disposal. Depending on the item, that could involve separating the metal and pre-fabricated materials so recyclable pieces of the furniture can be properly recycled. For office furniture and most other types of office equipment that can’t be recycled, it must be taken to a licensed disposal facility.

“We recently performed a decommission of workstations for a customer in the environmental cleanup field. Taking apart the stations for recycling saved them money for disposal and helped them meet sustainability requirements for the company,” said Rohlfing.

BTI’s decommissioning services also include the coordination and pickup of computers and other pieces of hardware, software and electronics. This includes coordination and issuance of certificates of destruction for each piece.

“When you take a computer or other piece of electronics out of commission, the customer wants to be assured that the hard drives are being shredded and are not being re-used,” said Rohlfing. “It’s a little bit involved, but we work with licensed and insured companies for the destruction of those items.”

In addition to retrofit and decommissioning services, BTI offers a wide range of relocations services for its residential and commercial customers. For complete information on BTI’s relocation services, please visit https://www.usamover.com/ or call 800-766-7724.

That's why 4 out of every 5 new businesses ends up closing down within their first 5 years." 

 

Ikekeonwu notes that "while most business owners think they can't find more capital to grow, what they really

need is to find practical ways to make better use of the resources they have to generate the capital they need".

 

That's why Ikekeonwu and his team recently launched "Project Impact", a business development service which allows anyone with a small business growth problem to connect with experts to help - at no upfront charge.

DynaPay from Dynamics Business Solutions Now Available on Microsoft AppSource

Dynamics Business Solutions today announced the availability of DynaPay on Microsoft AppSource, an online cloud marketplace providing tailored line-of-business solutions. DynaPay is a comprehensive human resources and payroll management solution built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central using the native AL development tool. Dynamics Business Solutions provides total enterprise business solutions that enable businesses to use their technology investment in Dynamics 365 to extend business performance.

Payroll is one of the most integral parts of any business. Every worker’s salary compensation is based on the payroll system. Yet the job of calculating payroll for the entire team without automated workflows and systems is an ever-burdening task. DynaPay addresses this, automating salary deposits, leave balances, and other tasks. DynaPay has a built-in formula builder that makes the system extremely flexible, configurable, and able to meet complex payroll requirements for any country, including taxes and provisions. DynaPay generates a monthly WPS file, required by some governments, in SIF and Microsoft Excel formats, and the system is easily configurable to generate other types of electronic payroll files.

For HR managers, DynaPay's HR management dashboard gives them a way to quickly view details related to an employee, such as work leave, duty resumption dates, dues, and overall workforce structure. Managers can also easily keep track of company and employee documents.

DynaPay's time attendance engine is designed for real-time, editable, and customizable attendance management. It's seamlessly integrated with payroll software and supports multiple time attendance and access-control devices. The software automatically communicates with devices and reads clock-in/clock-out times to create overtime reports for users and overtime data to process payroll. DynaPay also calculates gratuity, considering an employee's hiring date, contract type, salary, and remaining leave balances, and it prepares final settlement, saving time and avoiding miscalculation.

Lastly, it sends alerts prior to the date a company document would expire, helping businesses avoid fines and legal penalties.

“It is with great pride and immense pleasure that we introduce our latest product, DynaPay, a human resources and payroll solution for SMBs that is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central,” said Mohamed Elmaraghy, Managing Director, Dynamics Business Solutions. “DynaPay is designed to work effectively under any complex business regulations, providing maximum flexibility and agility to extend your investment in Dynamics 365.”

Kirsten Edmondson Wolfe, Senior Director, AppSource Product Marketing, Microsoft Corp. said, “We’re pleased to welcome DynaPay to Microsoft AppSource, which gives our customers access to the best solutions available from our extensive partner ecosystem. Microsoft AppSource offers partner solutions such as DynaPay from Dynamics Business Solutions to help customers manage and customize their payroll functions.”
