New integration connects the employee lifecycle to the store – new hires, terminations, rehires, position moves, and security-role updates flow straight into the POS, with payroll, benefits, and compliance handled by Stratus HR’s certified experts.

Stratus HR, a full-service human resources outsourcing provider, today announced a partnership with iQmetrix, the Intelligent Commerce Operating System for telecom. As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Stratus HR becomes the complete, outsourced HR partner for wireless retailers on iQmetrix – payroll, benefits, compliance, and on-call HR experts – so retail teams stay focused on selling and serving customers.

Fully integrated with iQmetrix, Stratus HR’s custom-built technology connects the employee lifecycle to the store: new hires, terminations, rehires, position moves, and security-role updates flow straight into the point of sale (POS), while hours flow from the retailer’s iQmetrix system into payroll – eliminating double entry and pay errors, so every paycheck is accurate and every new hire hits the floor faster. Frontline teams get enterprise-level benefits and real human support; owners and managers get time back to grow their business. The partnership is available to iQmetrix clients across the United States.

“Wireless retail runs on people, and taking care of those people shouldn’t require a retailer to become an HR expert,” said Chase Heywood, CEO of Stratus HR. “Partnering with iQmetrix means the hours and commissions retailers already track in their stores flow directly into payroll, benefits, and compliance handled by our team. iQmetrix clients get a full HR department that already speaks retail – accurate paychecks, competitive benefits, and real humans to call when something comes up. We’re excited to help their retailers spend less time on administration and more time creating great experiences for customers.”

“Great partnerships solve real problems for our clients, and this one does exactly that,” said Channing Kochylema, Director, Partner Ecosystem at iQmetrix. “We built this to solve a problem every wireless retailer knows well: HR data trapped in disconnected systems. Stratus HR closes that gap – new hires, terminations, and role changes now flow straight into RQ, no double entry, no delays. We’re excited to bring our clients a true, integrated HR department alongside their POS.”
