Spartan Premier Staffing saves time and money with Source Technologies secure MICR printing solutions

Spartan Premier Staffing, Inc chose Source Technologies' MICR printing solution because...

• Due to MICR printers' reliability and speed, as many as 200 checks can now be printed within a two-hour period
• Installation of MICR printers is quick and easy and integrates easily with other
• MICR printers saved them almost $19,000 in their first year due to the elimination of preprinted, pre-numbered check stock

Spartan Premier Staffing, Inc. is one of the southeast's leading temporary staffing firms. With offices located throughout the region, Spartan provides temporary jobs for thousands of people every day. Their Daily Work, Daily Pay program offers same-day pay for temporary work, which requires thousands of checks to be issued each day. For Spartan, a dependable and efficient payout system is imperative.

Each of the company's 20 offices printed checks using a dot matrix printer and preprinted check stock. The process was very tedious and subject to a wide range of user errors. The company had considered migrating to a MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) check printing system, but was concerned about potential integration problems with its payroll system, which was an older, industry-specific program.

After reviewing the options, Spartan replaced all of its dot matrix printers with Source Technologies' secure MICR laser printers. "Financially we saved almost $19,000 in our first year," said Tim Botanic, Director of MIG. "The biggest financial benefit of the MICR laser printers is the elimination of preprinted, pre-numbered check stock." 

The company was also pleased to discover the new system saved time, most noticeably in high-volume branches, where as many as 200 checks can now be printed within a two-hour period. Spartan was also very satisfied with the integration process. "To our surprise, Source Technologies managed to take only one day to integrate the printers with our software and have us fully functional at our corporate office. Branch installation was so easy, it only took 30 minutes to unpack and program the printers," said Botanic.

"Technical support at Source Technologies has been excellent. We have not had any problems with the printers, but as with any new technology, we do have questions from time to time. The technical support staff has always been available whenever we need them. Overall, the relationship between Spartan Premier and Source Technologies has been excellent. We do not refer to Source Technologies as a vendor, but rather a partner in technology with Spartan Premier."
