Case Study: Tim Dahle Auto Group achieves $100K in ongoing savings and faster talent management with Paylocity

How Tim Dahle Auto Group switched to Paylocity to reduce turnover and simplify HR — prioritizing people, culture, and a better user experience

Tim Dahle Auto Group, a 750-employee automotive retailer with 13 locations in Utah and Colorado, was struggling with a clunky HCM after moving to Paycom—inefficient payroll processes, inconsistent, paper-based hiring and onboarding, and slow reporting threatened service quality and employee experience. HR Director Dale Jakins chose Paylocity and its HCM suite (including Recruiting, Onboarding, Payroll, Performance, Mobile App, Workflows & Documents, and integrations) to replace the problematic system and simplify talent management.

Paylocity implemented a centralized solution—Recruiting with job-board integrations and Predictive Index, digital Onboarding and Workflows, automated Payroll with Empower integration, Performance tools, and Insights & Recommendations—streamlining hiring, payroll, onboarding, and reporting. The switch cut reporting time by 89% (from about 45 minutes to 5), reduced time-to-hire from days to hours, freed up five FTEs to focus on strategic work, consolidated payroll administration, and delivered roughly $100k in ongoing savings after moving from Paycom.
