Ashli: Hi, I'm Ashli, I'm the Owner and Operator of a parking lot sweeping company, and I give RUN Powered by ADP a five out of five. When we purchased our company in August, we were back in the stone age and using paper timecards. So we had to use a lot of research into different companies that would offer the features that our employees and ourselves were wanting. We looked at Square, we looked at QuickBooks and ADP, and ultimately landed on ADP. We chose ADP for the ability to be able to travel and do time cards, for us to be able to use direct deposit, and the simplicity. When we were looking at going with ADP, we had an awesome experience with different individuals who were helping us figure out what needed to be set up, where it needed to be set up, and ultimately they fit us into the right program for our business, being a small business, and for our budget. For anybody who's looking for a company who can provide direct deposit, who can provide simplicity, RUN is definitely the program to go with. I would definitely say reach out, talk to somebody. They were friendly and knowledgeable and helped us out a ton, especially as brand new business owners.
