Noor Staffing has scaled through four acquisitions in five years, adding an average of 800 new temporary employees annually. With Avionté replacing its old proprietary system, onboarding that volume now takes under a week — as little as two days for its most recent acquisition — letting Noor integrate new businesses quickly and scale with confidence.
Noor Staffing is a full-service national staffing agency that places 18,000 employees annually across healthcare, hospitality, light industrial, and professional services. To accelerate growth across these industries, the company has made acquisitions a core part of its strategy, integrating regional staffing firms into a single, unified operating model that expands its market presence and service capabilities.
“The staffing industry, as we all know, is highly fragmented. We saw the opportunity to consolidate some of the regional players that were strong operationally but lacked the capital structure or infrastructure to grow on their own.”

That kind of growth only works when technology keeps pace. With Avionté and support from Noor’s in-house implementation team, acquisitions that once required six to ten weeks of manual data entry in Noor’s legacy proprietary system can now be completed in days. Instead of spending weeks migrating employee data and rebuilding records, Noor can integrate newly acquired businesses quickly, maintain business continuity, and realize the value of each acquisition much sooner.
For Carlos, that speed is essential to protecting both relationships and revenue: “If you can’t move at the speed of light, if you can’t get people up and running, you could lose employees, you could lose clients, you could lose relationships. It’s crucial to have the right partner who can move at your pace. With Avionté, they keep pace. The only thing slowing us down is us.”
Acquiring another staffing agency isn’t just about closing a deal. It’s about rapidly integrating an entire business so it can operate as part of a single, unified organization from day one. Each acquisition introduces new employee records, pay rates, tax jurisdictions, assignments, compliance data, and client contracts that must be migrated quickly and accurately into one system of record. Until that happens, leadership lacks a consistent view of the business, teams work from different information, and the organization can’t operate as a cohesive whole.
As Carlos explains: “It’s impossible to successfully run parallel systems when you’re trying to create a cohesive unit. Running multiple systems creates mistakes and miscommunication. It’s like speaking two different languages. You might think you’re saying the same thing, but the interpretation is never one-to-one.”
Until every employee, client, and assignment is migrated into a single system, the acquired business can’t truly operate as part of the larger organization. Teams are forced to work across multiple platforms, reporting becomes fragmented, and manual processes multiply.
Meanwhile, employees still need to be paid, clients still expect uninterrupted service, and leadership needs a clear view of the business. The faster everything is brought together, the faster the organization can begin operating as one.
Before partnering with Avionté, Noor relied on a proprietary system without bulk import capability. Each acquisition required employee data to be entered manually, one record at a time. With 600 to 1,000 employees added annually through acquisitions, integration became a recurring bottleneck that constrained how quickly new businesses could be stabilized and brought online.
The result was a clear mismatch between strategy and execution speed: acquisition growth was working, but operational integration was not keeping pace.
With Avionté, acquisition integration becomes a proven, repeatable process instead of a manual, weeks-long project. Rather than spending weeks rebuilding records and reconciling systems, Noor can bring newly acquired employees, clients, and operations into a single platform in days, allowing the organization to move forward as one business, faster.
As Carlos describes: “With Avionté, the most complicated part from a data perspective is just making sure we have the basics: first name, last name, and the required PII. Once that’s in place, everything else becomes straightforward. We upload the data, press a button, and it runs. It’s truly plug and play.”
That consistency holds regardless of the source system. Whether an acquired company comes from a proprietary setup or an established staffing platform, the process remains unchanged in structure and timeline.
According to Jerry Olson, Senior Vice President of Operations for Avionté, predictability and flexibility enable staffing firms to move quickly without sacrificing consistency, turning what could be a disruptive transition into a repeatable business process.
“On our end, it’s less than a week either way. It’s just moving data from one system to another. In most cases, we can convert acquisition data in about two days when it’s coming from a known source, and that timeline can compress even further when deal urgency requires it.”

The process is built on standardized templates, structured field mapping, and validation within an existing client environment. Rather than reinventing the process for every acquisition, Avionté follows a proven framework that delivers the consistency and predictability staffing firms need during periods of rapid growth.
That process becomes even more critical when timing is compressed.
As an example of this, in March 2025, Noor acquired a company already under operational strain. Client relationships were in motion, with accounts effectively being transitioned to whichever partner could absorb them fastest. “They were pretty much just handing out the relationships to whoever could handle them,” Carlos said.
In that environment, speed wasn’t an advantage — it was a requirement for continuity. Payroll and service delivery had to remain uninterrupted while the business was absorbed into Noor’s system.
Because Noor’s internal teams were already operating within Avionté and using its acquisition workflows, they were able to move immediately upon the deal’s closing.
The system migration was completed in roughly two days, with compliance steps following shortly after. Operational continuity was maintained throughout the transition window.
“We were able to say, ‘We’re here! We can support this transfer of service no matter what the need is.’ The platform allows us to take in the information and accurately run payroll for all their staff without missing a beat. This is all due to Avionté and their ability to move at light speed.”

For a truly successful merger to take place, data conversion is only the beginning. To build a repeatable acquisition engine, staffing firms need an operating model that supports every deal before, during, and after the transition.
For Noor, that means direct access to Avionté’s implementation experts, a conversion process that becomes more self-sufficient over time, standardized onboarding for acquired employees, and a single platform that gives leadership immediate visibility across the combined organization.
Acquisition speed depends on more than software. It requires an implementation team that understands staffing data, communicates directly with customers, and can execute without adding layers of coordination.
As Jerry Olson, Director of Implementation at Avionté, explains, acquisition conversions aren’t one-off projects. They’re a repeatable process refined through years of experience.
“We complete multiple acquisition conversions every year, drawing on more than a decade of refinement to ensure the process is consistent, repeatable, and proven at scale.”
That experience translates directly into faster execution because Noor works with Avionté’s in-house implementation team rather than through a third-party services provider.
“It makes the transition a lot quicker because there’s no middle person,” Carlos explains. “Avionté knows what data is going to fit, what’s not going to fit. They’ll let us know if there’s an error, and the communication comes back much faster if anything is mismatched.”
The relationship doesn’t end once an acquisition is complete. Carlos says direct access to Avionté’s support team gives Noor confidence that questions are addressed quickly by people who understand both the platform and the realities of acquisition-driven growth.
“The ability to connect directly with our customer support team shows we’re not just a number. They hear us out, keep us informed of enhancements or roadblocks, and when we have concerns, we’re talking to someone who actually knows our account.”

Growth isn’t just about adding volume — it’s about absorbing it without friction. With Avionté, the platform is built to handle rapid increases in data, employees, and transactions without introducing lag, manual workarounds, or system strain. Performance remains consistent, whether a business is processing hundreds of records or scaling into the thousands at once.
Scale doesn’t change the operational lift. Adding one employee or thousands doesn’t require a different level of effort or a different process to keep things moving. The system is designed to take on growth as it happens, without slowing the business down or forcing operational catch-up.
No slowdown. No rework. Just infrastructure that stays steady as the pace of growth accelerates.
Noor’s acquisition process has become more efficient with every deal. While Avionté’s implementation team played a hands-on role during the company’s earliest acquisitions, Noor has steadily become more self-sufficient by leveraging the same standardized conversion process.
As Carlos explains: “During our first few acquisitions, we were very reliant on the support team from Avionté. Now it’s gotten to the point where Avionté provides the spreadsheets that we upload ourselves. Besides a few nuances here and there, we may reach out to the implementation team, but for the most part, we can now do it on our own. This allows us to move even faster.”
That evolution gives Noor greater flexibility to execute acquisitions on its own timeline instead of waiting for the implementation team’s availability.
As Zarina Assaubayeva, Manager of Finance and Accounting at Noor Staffing, explains: “With the process being so easy, we can do it ourselves and at our own speed. We don’t have to rely on the availability of external teams and can move whenever we need to.”
Moving data is only half of an acquisition. The people joining the organization need to become productive just as quickly.
Every employee joining Noor, including those arriving through acquisitions, goes through structured onboarding with oor’s internal IT team, with continued support using Avionté’s self-service learning resources.
“All of our new hires go through comprehensive training with our IT support team,” Carlos states. “From there, they have access to Avionté’s self-service guides whenever they need them. If a question comes up after hours, they can use the chatbot or tap into the self-help resources.”
For organizations wanting additional support, Avionté also provides Avionté University and implementation-led training.
“A lot of acquisition scenarios involve smaller groups, and clients train them internally,” says Jerry Olson. “But we absolutely provide continued onboarding support when it’s needed. We’ve had larger acquisitions where our team trained the group directly.”
That flexibility allows training to scale with each acquisition rather than becoming another operational bottleneck.
Every company Noor acquires is fully migrated onto Avionté, ensuring leadership is no longer operating across fragmented systems or waiting on delayed reporting from multiple sources.
“It’s important for us because we want our employees to get a feel for Noor from day one,” Carlos explains. “We want them incorporated into our environment and getting the attention they deserve so operations continue smoothly.”
And because Avionté integrates front- and back-office operations within a single platform, visibility across the organization, including newly acquired businesses, becomes immediate, consistent, and far more transparent. Instead of reconciling data across systems, leadership operates from one unified view of the entire business in real time.
For corporate leadership, that visibility is critical. It’s less about consolidation and more about having immediate control, clarity, and speed in decision-making.
As Zarina describes: “As a corporate office, we don’t have to wait for companies to prepare financials and send them to us. We can run reports whenever we want for whichever company we want. When you’re working with a newly acquired company’s data, there’s a lot of standardization required to get everything aligned. The more consistent the process, the faster teams can bring everything into one operating view and move forward without friction.”
For staffing firms growing through acquisition, value isn’t created at the deal table. It’s created in how quickly a newly acquired business can be absorbed, stabilized, and brought onto a single operating model. Without that speed, payroll delays, fragmented systems, and manual data work don’t just slow integration — they put client and employee relationships at risk.
That’s where Noor’s approach changes the equation. What once took six to ten weeks of manual entry in a legacy system now takes under a week with Avionté, and in urgent cases, as little as two days. Not because the volume is smaller, but because the process is standardized, repeatable, and supported by an in-house implementation team that processes multiple acquisitions a year.
Over five years and four acquisitions, Noor has grown into an organization placing more than 18,000 unique employees placed annually — proof that acquisition-driven growth only works when integration isn’t a bottleneck, but an operating capability. Every new business is brought into a single system of record, eliminating fragmented tools and giving leadership real-time visibility across the organization.
As Carlos puts it: “If you can’t move at the speed of the company’s movement, you could lose employees, you could lose clients, you could lose relationships. That’s why it’s crucial to have the right partner who can move at your pace.”
At scale, that capability compounds into clarity. What begins as faster integration becomes something more powerful: a unified organization that can see, manage, and act across every acquired business in real time, backed by a technology that can move at the pace that your ambition demands.
