Issue
A manufacturing and architectural design organization needed a more accurate and efficient time tracking solution to streamline payroll, improve labor cost forecasting, and enhance employee scheduling. Their existing time clocks were inefficient, frustrating employees, and leading to manual time entry and scheduling issues.
Solution
By implementing Centrally HR, our human capital management system, the organization experienced significant enhancements, including:
- Time Tracking Tools: Introduced a web-based time tracking app integrated with Centrally HR, a biometric time clock to prevent buddy punching and ensure shift-start accuracy, and tablets for efficient clocking out and cost center changes.
- Mobile Time-off Requests: Enabled time-off requests via mobile devices or field tablets, providing managers with real-time staffing visibility and control.
- System Integration: Leveraged Centrally HR’s open API for seamless integration with existing accounting software and other third-party tools.
- Advanced Payroll Automation: Streamlined payroll processes by capturing union job codes and hours, automating pay codes, and enabling earlier timesheet approvals.
- 50% reduction in payroll processing time, from six hours to three.
- Improved accuracy and scheduling with centralized and biometric time tracking.
- Eliminated manual time entry, reducing manager burden and potential errors.
- Increased employee engagement with intuitive self-service tools for clocking in and time-off requests.
- Cost savings by reducing hardware needs and improving operational efficiency.
- Real-time labor data transparency that empowers better decision-making.
Outcome
