Case Study: Sound Productions achieves streamlined HR and cost savings with ADP TotalSource

Realizing Unseen Benefits with ADP TotalSource®

Sound Productions, a pro-audio, lighting and video production supplier in Irving, Texas (est. 1973) with 24 employees, was struggling with HR duties handled in-house by its accounting manager, Melissa Gentry. Wearing multiple hats—payroll, benefits administration and more—left her unable to focus on core accounting work and created compliance and administrative strain for the small team.

After evaluating providers, Sound Productions selected ADP TotalSource; responsive sales support and a dedicated HR business partner, Amber, helped the company outsource payroll, compliance, recruiting and termination guidance. The switch reduced administrative burden, gave employees self-service access via the ADP mobile app (cutting HR inquiries), eliminated the need to hire an in-house HR salary, and freed funds to add up to six new team members while providing greater confidence in ongoing HR compliance and support.
