Case Study: Pioneer Professional Services Group achieves 75% faster payroll processing and improved resource and profitability tracking with Deltek Vision (Deltek)

With improved access and resource management, Deltek Vision® helps land services firm plant seeds for future success

Pioneer Professional Services Group is a Calgary-based land services firm that grew to over 140 employees across ten offices, offering land, environmental, vegetation management and safety services. Rapid growth exposed gaps in tracking profitability by location and service segment, staff utilization, and timely time-and-expense reporting—hours were entered only on payroll day and the existing system provided no useful business intelligence for planning.

Pioneer conducted a requirements analysis and implemented Deltek Vision (via SSL Solutions) for time & expense, billing, resource planning, accounting and payroll interfacing. After testing and phased rollout, Vision delivered remote access, automated approvals, customizable reporting and budget-vs-actual insight, enabling project-level profitability tracking and faster intervention on overruns. The system cut payroll processing from two days to under half a day (≈75% reduction), improved utilization measurement and increased operational transparency.
