Case Study: Helix Electric centralizes workforce data and improves labor scheduling with LaborChart

Electrical contractor centralizes workforce data with LaborChart

Helix Electric, a San Diego-based electrical contractor with 2,500 employees, was managing workforce scheduling with hundreds of disconnected Excel spreadsheets. As the company expanded its design-build business across the country, information from project sites was getting lost and the team lacked a clear, centralized view of labor across projects. Helix turned to LaborChart for a cloud-based workforce management solution.

LaborChart gave Helix Electric a centralized digital platform with standardized job titles, classifications, and updated workforce data, and it was integrated with Microsoft Azure to streamline data collection and eliminate discrepancies. As a result, Helix improved transparency and accountability, gave HR better visibility into regional staffing needs, and identified key contributors who may have been overlooked before. The company also reported stronger talent development and a clearer path for preparing the next generation of workers.
