Case Study: Large Health Company saves 2,000 hours and $84,000 annually with PerfectServe Lightning Bolt integration

Saving Time and Reducing Errors by Integrating Scheduling and Payroll Systems

Large Health Company, a large health system with 180+ hospitals and 2,300+ post-acute sites of care, had implemented PerfectServe’s Provider Scheduling powered by Lightning Bolt for its intensivist group but still relied on manual transfer of scheduling data into their Kronos WFC payroll system. Administrators spent hours per pay period on data entry, which was time-consuming and prone to errors that affected paycheck accuracy.

PerfectServe implemented a Lightning Bolt–to–Kronos integration that automatically exports scheduled shifts daily, with controls to filter assignment and employee types and exclude non-payable or independently paid staff; the four-month rollout included a two-pay-period pilot and ongoing support. The integration delivered an estimated 2,000 hours saved per year, roughly $84,000 in annual cost savings, a single source of truth for scheduled hours, fewer payroll errors, and more streamlined workflows and customization options.
