Case Study: First Hospitality seamlessly integrates acquisitions into UKG Ready with HRchitect

First Hospitality integrates acquisitions in 4 weeks with HRchitect

First Hospitality, a Chicago-based hospitality staffing firm, faced a significant challenge when it needed to integrate two newly acquired companies into its existing UKG Ready payroll and HR system before the start of a new calendar year. The project required building out new payroll systems and importing thousands of employee records from Excel spreadsheets under a very tight deadline. UKG recommended HRchitect as a consulting partner to manage this complex data integration and system setup.

HRchitect implemented a big bang deployment strategy, dedicating over 90 hours of configuration work to seamlessly integrate the new entities. The project was completed within an ambitious four-week timeframe, enabling First Hospitality to process its first payroll for the new employees one week ahead of its deadline. This success, which exceeded all expectations, reinforced HRchitect's reputation for handling complex UKG projects.
