August 2nd, 2016 - Lubbock, Texas: TRUNO, Retail Technology Solutions (TRUNO), the retail industry leader in integrated technology solutions, today announced they have reached a definitive acquisition agreement with TimeForge, the retail industry leader in labor management software. The acquisition, expected to close August 15th, 2016, strategically aligns resources and infrastructure between the two companies, affording retailers the industry’s most comprehensive labor analytics solution.

TRUNO will continue to invest in solutions we believe deliver valuable results to retailers,” David Miller, TRUNO’s Chief Executive Officer, stated of the strategic business transaction. “The acquisition of TimeForge is directly in line with TRUNO’s vision to lead the navigation of technology, empowering businesses as the most trusted solutions provider.”

The TimeForge suite of solutions has proven to provide retailers value in reducing labor spend and increasing profits through real-time online scheduling, employee tracking, and payroll reporting. 

“Building on a long history of successful partnership, we are excited to join TeamTRUNO,” Anthony Presley, Founder and President of TimeForge, said of the integration. “Our products, when combined with TRUNO’s vast point-of-sale data accessibility and knowledge, create a lot of value for our customers.” Both companies are headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, and the two companies share similar cultures and values.
