NewTech Friday: Argyle – Allowing employees to control their own data

Billy Marsden and I started Argyle based on a need we, the co-founders, experienced personally. While running Stratim together from 2014 to 2018, we continuously processed several repetitive tasks and forms related to employee data. As a fleet logistics company, we onboarded an average of 1,000 contractors per month, managing the same types of applications each time. These applications and employment data were not unique to fleet management. Instead, the activity reflects an accurate representation of a changing, more flexible global workforce across industries. And consumers’ financial services are directly impacted whether people are trying to rent a house, get a loan, open a credit card, or apply for other financial services. This led to the creation of Argyle, which started with an autocomplete service to prevent people and their employers from entering repetitive employment information that already exists in a system.
