October 14, 2026 – Sandy, Utah – Stratus HR, a Professional Employer Organization, announced today a partnership with iQmetrix, the Intelligent Commerce Operating System for telecom. As a full-service human resources (HR) outsourcing provider, Stratus HR becomes the complete partner for wireless retailers on iQmetrix to manage payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR expertise, enabling retail teams to stay focused on selling and serving customers.
“Wireless retail runs on people, and taking care of those people shouldn’t require a retailer to become an HR expert,” said Chase Heywood, CEO of Stratus HR. “Partnering with iQmetrix means the hours and commissions retailers already track in their stores flow directly into payroll, benefits, and compliance handled by our team. iQmetrix clients get a full HR department that already speaks retail and accurate paychecks, competitive benefits, and real humans to call when something comes up. We’re excited to help their retailers spend less time on administration and more time creating great experiences for customers.”
Stratus HR’s fully integrated technology connects every stage of the employee lifecycle with the store’s point-of-sale (POS) system. New hires, terminations, rehires, job changes, and security permission updates sync directly to the POS, while employee hours transfer from the retailer’s system into payroll. This streamlined process eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces payroll errors, and helps new employees get to work sooner. Frontline employees gain access to valuable benefits and personalized, human-centered support, while business owners and managers spend less time on administrative tasks and more time growing their business.
“Great partnerships solve real problems for our clients, and this one does exactly that,” said Channing Kochylema, Director, Partner Ecosystem at iQmetrix. “We built this to solve a problem every wireless retailer knows well: HR data trapped in disconnected systems. Stratus HR closes that gap – new hires, terminations, and role changes now flow straight into RQ, no double entry, no delays. We’re excited to bring our clients a true, integrated HR department alongside their POS.”
This partnership is available to iQmtrix clients nationwide.
