Case Study: Marbridge achieves thousands of man-hours saved and IRS/ACA reporting compliance with Altair's automated data preparation

Self-Service Data Prep Saves Marbridge Thousands of Man-Hours in Meeting Reporting Requirements

Marbridge, a nonprofit residential community serving nearly 250 developmentally disabled adults, faced a new Affordable Care Act requirement to report detailed payroll and coverage data for more than 300 employees to the IRS. Their payroll system could only output partial data in PDF form, and hiring temporary staff to manually rekey historical records would have been costly and error-prone. To address this, Marbridge engaged Altair’s automated data preparation solution, using a customized Altair template to extract the needed information.

Altair’s template automatically pulled and cleaned payroll data from PDFs and other difficult formats, giving Marbridge a self-service way to generate IRS reports without system upgrades or thousands of hours of manual entry. The Altair solution saved an estimated 2,000–3,500 man-hours, reduced cost and audit risk, and enabled confident, accurate submissions; Marbridge is now expanding Altair use to scan past W‑2s and centralize payroll and HR files.
