AutoPayPlus has expanded its workforce by 30% over last year, reflecting business process enhancements, increased focus on customer satisfaction, and operational capabilities.
The AutoPayPlus service has seen a 25% increase in enrollments directly correlated to its expanding partner network and additional service offerings. Continuous staff growth is seen throughout as departments evolve to be fully outfitted to meet demand from increasing partners nationwide.
The recent launch of offerings and efficient innovations for partners and members alike, such as AutoPayPlus Reporting, powered by VisionAST; adopting Calendly as an additional member service tool; integrating artificial intelligence; and the launch of the first phase of its mobile application have increased its competitiveness in the market, boosting member retention and expanding capacity to support larger organizations.
This year’s projected growth rate shows a major increase in overall staff, triggering the need for additional space as the company’s outgrows its office size of 18,307 square feet in downtown Orlando. It also recently moved to strengthen its structure by increasing leadership and specialty positions by 10%, improving operational capabilities and strategic development and creating new career progression opportunities across various teams to sustain its trajectory and foster a culture of internal growth.
