How AnDek Holdings Gets True Numbers in Near-Real-Time Across Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing

How does AnDek Holdings get true numbers in near-real-time across a multi-brand staffing portfolio?

Who is AnDek Holdings?

AnDek Holdings, Inc. is a staffing holding company headquartered in Cartersville, Georgia. Its approach is to give local staffing brands the resources of a larger organization while keeping the local leadership, client relationships and entrepreneurial culture that made each one successful.

The company is led by Ray Clawson, who has spent more than 35 years in the staffing industry. Under his leadership, AnDek has grown into a family of staffing companies that, as of its mid-2026 acquisition announcement, spanned 11 offices across four states.

Three brands sit at the center of this story:

• Match Staffing serves employers across Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Its core strength is warehouse, manufacturing and industrial staffing, and it also places clerical, technical and professional talent through temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire services.
• Employ Partners serves businesses throughout Metro Atlanta and North Georgia from its Kennesaw headquarters, offering temporary, temp-to-hire, direct hire, payroll and recruiting services. Employ Partners joined AnDek in June 2026, and its founder, Larkin Dailey, joined AnDek Holdings as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
• AnDek Staffing operates from Anaheim, California, and is AnDek Holdings' Southern California brand.

What challenge was AnDek trying to solve?

Answer first: AnDek's challenge wasn't finding work or finding people. It was seeing the business clearly, as a whole, without an army of people re-keying data to get there.

A staffing holding company multiplies a problem every agency has. Each brand, and often each office, builds its own habits: its own spreadsheets, its own way of tracking orders and placements, its own reports. Recruiting data lives in one place, hours and billing in another, and claims, contracts and collections somewhere else again.

That creates two costs.

The cost of manual entry

When systems don't talk to each other, people become the integration layer. The same worker, client, rate or timesheet gets entered more than once, then reconciled by hand when the numbers disagree. In a single-office agency that is a nuisance. Across multiple brands and states, it becomes headcount.

The cost of not knowing

The quieter cost is visibility. When data is spread across tools and brands, leadership sees revenue clearly but sees profitability through a fog. It is hard to say with confidence which clients, offices or lines of business actually make money once burden, claims, slow pay and staff time are counted. We cover where those costs hide in our article on where staffing agency margin quietly leaks.

For a leader with nearly four decades in the business, "roughly right" was no longer good enough — and waiting weeks for a clearer picture wasn't either.

What did AnDek need across its brands?

A multi-brand staffing group needs something different from a single agency. AnDek's requirements came down to a few principles:

• One record, many brands. Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing serve different markets and keep their own identities, but leadership needs their data to agree and roll up.
• Less re-keying. Data should be entered once, where the work happens, and flow to the people who need it.
• Numbers leaders can trust — when they need them. Margin and performance should be visible by brand, office, client and recruiter in near-real-time, not reconstructed in a spreadsheet over weeks.
• Risk in the same place as the work. Claims, compliance and contract obligations should sit on the same record as the worker, the assignment and the client.
• Room to grow. As AnDek adds agencies, each new brand should plug into the same foundation instead of adding another island of data.

What did HubIQ change?

Answer first: HubIQ became the system of record for the business, so data is entered once, shared across functions and rolled up across brands.

HubIQ is built as a staffing system of record: one place where candidates, clients, placements, contracts, risk and money live and agree with each other, with data from the agency’s existing ATS connected alongside Risk, CRM/Contracts and Finance on the same record.

For a holding company like AnDek, that shift changes how the work gets done.

Manual entry stopped being a job

When recruiting, operations and finance work from the same record, the hand-offs that used to require someone to retype or reconcile data go away. Across HubIQ customers, agencies typically recapture around 35 hours a week from report writing and manual entry. At AnDek, HubIQ's integration with Sage Intacct has saved countless hours of weekly data entry, and the company was able to move two people out of manual entry and into other functions.

Leadership got one view of the whole business

With every brand on the same record, AnDek's leadership can look at the business as a whole and then drill into the parts: a brand, an office, a client, a recruiter. Questions that once took a week of spreadsheet work become questions with answers in near-real-time.

Profitability became visible client by client

Revenue is easy to see. What a client actually earns the agency, after every cost is assigned to it, is not. A shared record makes those costs traceable. For AnDek, that visibility now spans the whole portfolio: Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing. Leadership has gained critical customer insights across all entities — seeing which relationships are valuable and which were quietly eroding profit. Across HubIQ customers more broadly, agencies recapture about 3 margin points on average by uncovering quietly unprofitable clients.

Risk sits next to the work

In HubIQ, risk and compliance data lives on the same record as the people and placements it affects, as described in our article on managing staffing risk and compliance in one platform. That includes unemployment insurance claims: HubIQ handles UI claims through SIDES in 40+ states where SIDES is available, which is especially relevant for a group operating across several states. Our guide to handling unemployment claims in real time with SIDES explains how that works.

What results has AnDek seen?

Answer first: less manual work — including countless hours saved each week through HubIQ's Sage Intacct integration — two roles redeployed, cross-entity customer insights across Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing, and true numbers in near-real-time instead of weeks later.

Ray Clawson, Chairman of AnDek Holdings, put it this way:

"HubIQ has saved us so much manual entry. What used to take weeks we now see in near-real-time — after nearly 40 years, we have our true numbers when we need them."

— Ray Clawson, Chairman, AnDek Holdings

Two things in that quote are worth pulling apart.

The first is speed. AnDek already knew its business — the problem was how long it took to assemble the picture. What used to take weeks now shows up in near-real-time. HubIQ's Sage Intacct integration has also saved AnDek countless hours of weekly data entry, and the company was able to repurpose two people to other functions. Those people weren't let go; their time moved from re-entering data to work that grows the business.

The second is access. "True numbers when we need them" is clarity on demand, not a first-time discovery. For AnDek that includes critical customer insights across all entities — Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing — so leadership can see which relationships are valuable and which were eroding profit, and so pricing, client and growth decisions rest on facts without waiting weeks for the spreadsheet.

What can other multi-brand staffing groups learn from AnDek?

AnDek's experience points to a few lessons for any staffing group running more than one brand or office:

• Keep brands local, keep data central. Match Staffing, Employ Partners and AnDek Staffing keep their own markets, names and relationships. What they share is the record underneath.
• Treat manual entry as a signal. If people are re-keying the same data, the systems are leaking time and accuracy. Fixing the record frees capacity you already pay for.
• Measure profitability, not just revenue. The most valuable insight is often which clients or offices aren't as profitable as they look.
• Build the foundation before the next acquisition. Every new agency is easier to integrate when there is already one system of record to bring it into.
• Put risk on the same record. Claims, compliance and contracts are part of margin, not a separate department's problem.
