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.

Kayapush solution 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 solution overview:

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.
