It provides compliance, visa automation and applicant tracking as well as workforce management tools. Seso simplifies the application process for the H-2A visa program. Seso also allows agricultural employers to access qualified labor via a database that includes thousands of H-2A workers. This software allows farms to find and communicate with workers and track their work flow. Seso centralizes workforce management and helps farms keep labor compliance. It also transitions farms to digitization (getting rid all paperwork) and allows farms to recruit themselves.
