LIGHTSPEED ENHANCES WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION WITH HOMEBASE

Lightspeed Commerce Inc. has made an enhanced integration with Homebase, the all-in-one HR (human resources) and team management solution for small businesses. Through this new integration, Lightspeed's flagship retail solution (Lightspeed Retail) customers can streamline employee tracking and management, saving valuable time and reducing the complexity of their business operations.

With Homebase's top-rated time clock soon to be embedded directly into Lightspeed Retail, merchants will be able to enjoy a more seamless and efficient work force management experience. Combined with preferred Homebase subscription pricing for Lightspeed Retail merchants, this enriched collaboration takes work force management to the next level.

Key features of the enhanced integration:

• All-in-one team management platform: Homebase consolidates scheduling, time tracking, payroll and team communication into a single, award-winning platform, now working even more seamlessly within Lightspeed.
• Embedded time clock for efficient employee tracking: Homebase's time clock, soon to be fully integrated into Lightspeed Retail, allows merchants to manage schedules, track hours and optimize workflows without leaving the POS (point-of-sale system).
• Optimized work force management and cost control: Real-time sales to labour reporting can enable merchants to better manage costs and budgets.
• Seamless payroll integration in the United States: Time sheets sync effortlessly into pay-ready hours and wages, with Homebase managing taxes and deposits. For Canadian merchants, third party payroll integrations and optimized exports are available.
• Mobile-first design: The user-friendly mobile interface simplifies set-up and usage, empowering teams to clock in, manage hours and communicate on the go.
• Preferred pricing for Lightspeed merchants: Lightspeed Retail merchants can access Homebase's all-in-one plan at a discounted rate, unlocking the full suite of features at a lower cost.

"Lightspeed's mission has always been to empower retailers with tools that streamline operations and maximize efficiency," said J.D. Saint-Martin, president of Lightspeed. "This enhanced integration with Homebase delivers further on that promise, offering merchants an embedded work force management solution that improves workflows and helps them run their businesses more effectively."

"Homebase is purpose built for small businesses with hourly workers, giving them critical tools to manage their teams. By embedding our tools directly into Lightspeed Retail, we're giving merchants a seamless, all-in-one solution that simplifies scheduling, payroll and team communication," said John Waldmann, chief executive officer of Homebase. "This integration will help business owners spend less time on administrative tasks and more time growing their business."

This integration ensures Lightspeed merchants can remain competitive while benefiting from the powerful synergy between Lightspeed Retail and Homebase.

The enhanced integration is now available for Lightspeed Retail merchants.
