The leading software platform for managing commercial relationships between contracting companies and their 1099 independent contractor workforces, proudly announces the launch of the new Openforce Mobile App, which is designed to maximize the user experience for independent contractors by providing convenient, on-the-go access to their profiles, payments, documents, and support.
Openforce remains devoted to its purpose of enabling independent contractors to work without limitations. The unique mobile app is a critical component of this commitment, allowing contractors to securely access settlement data, maintain their profiles, handle documents, and receive direct support via an in-app chat function.
Wendy Greenland, Openforce’s CEO, stated, “The Openforce Mobile App is a significant step forward in our mission to provide a superior experience to our customers. By offering seamless access to essential information and support, we’re empowering contractors to manage their businesses more effectively and efficiently. Today’s modern workforce relies heavily on technology, so it is our responsibility as an industry leader to build solutions that enhance the day-to-day lives of independent contractors who cannot use traditional HRIS platforms for their work.”
The development of the Openforce Mobile App is especially relevant in the age of gig work and an economy with an increasing number of independent contractors for various reasons:
• Increased Flexibility: Independent contractors and gig workers sometimes work irregular hours and from several locations. The mobile app enables customers to manage their accounts and access critical information at any time and from any location, improving their capacity to stay organized and responsive to business needs.
• Increased Efficiency: The app streamlines administrative tasks such as updating profile information, processing payments, and uploading documents, allowing contractors to focus on their core business rather than administrative duties.
• Improved Accessibility: Independent contractors can now access their account information, support services, payment data, the small business toolkit, and the benefits portal via mobile devices.
• Real-Time Support: The app’s chat function links contractors directly with Openforce support, providing immediate assistance and eliminating wait periods associated with resolving issues via email or phone.
Cathy Wright, Openforce Chief Product Officer, applauds the Openforce team’s work in building the app. “The launch of the Openforce Mobile App is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our product and development teams. By actively listening to our independent contractor customers and understanding their needs, we have created a solution that truly makes their jobs easier. This app reflects our commitment to delivering technology that supports the independent contractor workforce, ensuring they have the tools necessary to succeed in their roles.”
