BLUE BELL, PA--(Marketwire - Feb 11, 2013) - PDS, a leading provider of human resource, benefits, recruiting, and payroll software, today announced that FIVE GUYS Enterprises, LLC is implementing its Vista HRMS^® solution. This rapidly growing fast food restaurant chain will be leveraging Vista HRMS to streamline its human resources and benefits operations for its more than 5,000 corporate employees. 

"By the end of the first quarter of 2013 we will have 39 more stores," said Sara Thompson, director of Human Resources at FIVE GUYS. "We needed a software solution that we could host ourselves, allowed for unlimited users, and offered the flexibility to customize it to meet our unique needs. PDS' Vista HRMS met those specifications. Automating workflows with Vista HRMS will help us operate more quickly and become more paperless. The ability to fully track employee information in Vista HRMS is key and the reporting capabilities will help us meet the numerous compliance requirements that come with running a business in our industry."

"A growing company like FIVE GUYS does not have the time to effectively manage their HR and benefits operations manually," explained George Brady, vice president at PDS. "By automating these processes and implementing standard workflows, the FIVE GUYS HR team will be able to more efficiently serve managers and employees easily by providing direct access to important information. Additionally, the team will be able to focus less on day-to-day tasks associated with manual processes and direct their efforts to more strategic issues for the company."
