KPA Acquires Exclusive Rights to HotlinkHR’s Online Compliance System for the Transportation Market

September 19, 2008
Lafayette, CO — KPA, the only national provider of environmental, health and safety (EHS) compliance services to the transportation market, today announced an expansion in its product offerings. KPA has acquired the exclusive rights to HotlinkHR’s online "forced process" compliance system ("HR Online System"), to sell to and service the transportation market. KPA will leverage its national presence with more than 3,000 clients and HotlinkHR’s success in sixteen states, to roll this product out on a national basis.

The HR Online System, operational since 2002 with more than 500 clients, automates a forced process for HR tasks, employee training, and compliance requirements.

Peter Welch, CEO of the California New Car Dealer Association said, "Employment regulations and compliance issues are a real concern to our dealer members. HotlinkHR has successfully addressed these concerns, proving itself to be an invaluable resource to hundreds of our members over the past four years by taking the guesswork out of employment compliance and shielding them from lawsuits."

KPA currently offers integrated on-site, on call and online compliance solutions for EHS issues. Vane Clayton, CEO of KPA, said "Our goal with adding the HR Online System is to expand KPA’s umbrella of compliance services to the national transportation market. Together, KPA and HotlinkHR can help our clients lower costs related to on-the-job accidents, reduce HR administration effort, and mitigate lawsuits and fines."

Vicki Sylvia, Director of Associate Development, for Sonic Automotive, said of HR Pro, "It is a fantastic tool for properly hiring and managing employees. It keeps us in compliance."

The size of the U.S. market for EHS and HR compliance software and consulting for the transportation market is estimated to be $670 million.
