New
Time Tracking Integration Solution Wins Top Honors for Streamlining
Payroll, Eliminating Errors, and Accurately Tracking Work Hours.
San
Jose, CA, USA -- Rosendin Electric (http://www.rosendin.com),
one of the nation's largest private electrical contractors and an
employee-owned company, has received a 2016 Gold Vision Award from
Constructech for developing a process to streamline and standardize
field payroll for offices and job sites across the country. The new
payroll solution eliminates coding errors, saves administration time
on data entry and remediation, and provides project supervisors an
extremely accurate picture of labor utilization and requirements,
which is a real advantage in competitive bidding.
The
Constructech Vision Awards acknowledge the accomplishments of
companies that have applied technology in innovative ways to remain
competitive in the field of construction. Rosendin Electric won this
year's Gold Vision award for developing Time Entry, a custom
application designed to integrate AboutTime mobile resource
management software with Oracle's financial accounting system. The
new Time Entry system has allowed Rosendin Electric to standardize
payroll processing across all company offices. This system eliminates
coding errors, reduces payroll processing time, and provides an
accurate daily report of time worked. Said one project manager, "We
now have validation in place. The new system enables us to catch
errors we have not been able to in the past. We also reprocess fewer
corrected paychecks thanks to the new system."
"Rosendin
Electric is continually assessing new technology and strategies that
improve efficiency, but every new technology solution has to prove
itself cost-effective," said Diya Peter, Operations Applications
Lead for Rosendin Electric. "Our new Time Entry system has
already substantially reduced administration time and payroll errors.
It has the added benefit of making our field superintendents more
efficient and it gives management an accurate picture of worker hours
required to increase bidding accuracy. We know that Time Entry has
proven a winner for Rosendin Electric and we are delighted that
Constructech agrees by granting us a Gold Vision Award."
Before
implementing the new Time Entry system, Excel timesheets were
gathered from various regions, imported into a database for
validation, and then moved to the Oracle platform for payroll
processing. The challenge was that time was being charged to invalid
task codes, in turn leading to substantial delays and remediation of
paychecks. Regional managers were also spending more time gathering
timesheets and checking them for accuracy.
With
the new Time Entry system, Rosendin Electric project managers can now
use their iPads or handheld devices to track and transmit time from
the job site each day, leading to more accurate reporting without
task code errors. Time Entry has allowed job superintendents to enter
notes about reimbursements, job overrides, and other variables, thus,
eliminating time-consuming communication between regional
administrators and payroll staff. The new Time Entry also leverages
RFID, QR/barcode badges to more accurately track workers time on the
job.
This
is the third consecutive year that Rosendin Electric has received a
Vision Award. The company also received a Gold Constructech Vision
Award in the category of Specialty Contractor: Electrical Work in
2015, 2014, 2012, and 2011.
