KayaPush VS ADP
To the untrained eye, KayaPush and ADP offer a similar workforce management tech stack, with an integrated time attendance, payroll, scheduling, and HR functionalities.
But look a little closer, and you find two key differences that set KayaPush apart from the competition: The industry and their integrations.
Unlike ADP, KayaPush boasts a unique commitment to serving the Cannabis industry first and foremost. With custom POS and accounting integrations found nowhere else, their solution is ideal for dispensary owners and operators.
KayaPush offers an all-in-one solution, compared to ADP’s more manually integrated product options.
Overview
KayaPush was built to help dispensary owners overcome the unique challenges they face regarding workforce management in the cannabis industry.
The software is built on one easy-to-use platform, allowing seamless system updates and data transfer flow.
The robust system enables business operators to manage the employee life cycle of staff with flexible and variable hourly rates and provides robust integrations with cannabis-specific POS solutions.
These unique features allow business owners to optimize revenue management with forecasting and integrated reports.
ADP offers three unique solutions based on industry size vs. industry vertical (small, mid-sized, and large.)
Their features adapt depending on your chosen size, offering more in-depth and complex functionality to large users with an integrations ecosystem comprising non-cannabis-specific POS solutions, accounting solutions, and HR solutions for large-scale organizations.
It should be noted that many of these integrations may not offer their services to those in the cannabis space.
Revenue Management
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush and ADP offer revenue management tools to optimize business operations and lower costs. However, KayaPush offers more cannabis POS integrations, providing real-time labor insights where ADP falls short.
Additional differences include KayaPush’s customizable manager alerts for overtime and clock-in functionalities.
Payroll
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush and ADP offer key features to help navigate payroll; however, ADP has been known to drop plant-touching cannabis payroll clients due to federal banking regulations.
KayaPush, was built to navigate the challenges that dispensary owners in the cannabis industry face, offering tools like joint employer overtime support, multi-location dispensary employee sharing capabilities, and 280e reporting.
Recruitment
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush offers an applicant tracking and onboarding solution that integrates with leading job posting platforms, offers custom parameters, and integrates with the rest of the employee life cycle.
The ability to set parameters for job applicants is essential if you are looking for a candidate with specific experience or certifications.
ADP does offer recruitment tools they call recruitment process outsourcing, but the solution doesn't provide the ability to set custom parameters on hires.
Within this solution, KayaPush has a unique self-onboarding wizard that makes it easy for new hires to provide key documents.
The KayaPush solution also offers digitization and central storage of essential documents like budtender certificates and customizable alerts to ensure employees complete their onboarding process accurately.
HRIS
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush offers customizable alerts notifying dispensary owners when employee licenses are up for renewal.
ADP Does not offer an integrated HRIS solution for employers to manage and centralize their staff documents or payroll tax information. Instead, ADP offers partner solutions and consulting services. Take your essential employee documents outside of your system. In cannabis, digitizing all employee documents and living in one central location is key to compliance.
Scheduling
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush and ADP offer similar scheduling features, including visual schedules with drag-and-drop options, templates, forecasting functionalities, and employee scheduling apps.
However, because KayaPush integrates with more cannabis POS solutions, it offers labor forecasting based on real-time data more reliably than other, less cannabis-specific solutions.
Time Tracking
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush and ADP offer a similar suite of time attendance features (mobile functionality, geotracking, and biometric features to dissuade buddy punching.)
Yet only KayaPush offers customizable survey clock-in questions that can act as an added compliance feature for budtenders and store managers clocking in.
Integrations
Kaya
ADP
KayaPush and ADP both offer accounting and POS integrations for business owners. The main difference between the integrations is that ADP also offers HR integrations to complement elements missing from their native solution. In contrast, KayaPush offers cannabis-specific POS integrations to allow for deep data and insights.
