Case Study: Chestnut Petroleum Distributors achieves streamlined HR and payroll efficiency with ADP Comprehensive Services

Managing growth with ADP® Comprehensive Services

Chestnut Petroleum Distributors (CPD) grew from a single gas station in New Paltz, NY to more than 250 locations and 475 employees over 40 years. That rapid expansion left payroll, benefits and HR tasks being handled like a mom‑and‑pop operation, with a single HR person overwhelmed by paperwork, manual spreadsheets and frequent employee questions.

CPD implemented ADP Comprehensive Services and ADP Workforce Now to centralize HR and payroll, enable employee self‑service and mobile access, automate benefits enrollment and integrate time & attendance. The streamlined platform, responsive implementation and bilingual training cut HR call volume, eliminated paper processes, improved compliance, saved manager time (about 1.5 hours/week once time is fully in place) and provided ongoing support through changing regulations and PPP reporting.
