Having all your information in one single space is key part of ensuring your business is as efficient and as organized as it can possibly be. At Wolf, we know that we are experts in staffing, but for other areas, such as analytics or email marketing, there are many other softwares out there that are experts in these areas. That's why we recommend using Segment to integrate your platform with all the other platforms you need to make your Wolf staffing platform as robust as possible.
