New Name for Quadrant HR Software

QHR Software is pleased to announce a new name for our Quadrant HRsoftware… Quadrant. Is it a big name change? No… but this minor adjustment more accurately reflects our combined software offering of Payroll, Human Resources, Staff Scheduling and Financials.

Stay tuned for our new logo and revised website over the weeks to come…

Background on the Quadrant HR Name
The Quadrant HR name represented the four quadrants of a complete workforce management solution:Payroll, Staff Scheduling, Human Resources and integration to a third-party Financials system. The four quadrants still exist but, with the recent Financials acquisition, our software offering provides HR capability and beyond.
