Case Study: Higginbotham Brothers achieves 50%+ payroll cost savings and streamlined workforce management with APS Payroll

How this hardware and lumber retailer uses APS to provide quality products and service to Texas communities

Higginbotham Brothers is a family-founded retail company dating to 1881 that now operates 37 Texas locations and supports about 320 employees. Facing rising costs from their national payroll provider, HR leadership sought a more cost-effective payroll solution that would preserve payroll history, maintain functionality, and deliver responsive service.

In July 2013 they moved to APS’ cloud-based workforce management system, keeping complete payroll history and gaining enhanced HR, payroll, and attendance functionality. The conversion was smooth, customer support proved highly responsive, and the company realized more than a 50% reduction in payroll costs, allowing Higginbotham Brothers to focus on growth while better supporting their staff.
