Universal Case Management System (UCMS)
For Our Employer Partners
Six tools that turn TEA placements into your most reliable hires.
Our Universal Case Management System (UCMS) doesn't stop at placement — it follows your worker through every pay period, every compliance check, every promotion eligibility window.
Smartphone Receipt Capture
Crews snap receipts; we OCR, classify, and route to your accounting in real time. Audit-trail attached, no spreadsheet sprawl.
Unified Roster Management
A single source of truth across hiring, scheduling, and active-worker compliance. No more weekly sync calls.
Real-Time Compliance Dashboard
Drug-test cadence, background-check renewals, certification expirations — surfaced before they become a liability.
Direct Billable Hours
Time stamps from the field flow into invoices weekly. Reconciled hours, no disputes, predictable cash.
Workforce Pre-Certification
Every candidate arrives with documented sobriety, training, and a TEA accountability sponsor. Start day one, not week three.
Live Pay-Period Reporting
Drill down by site, supervisor, or trade. Export to your AP system in a click. Quarterly close in hours, not weeks.
