Case Study: Villara Building Systems reduces payroll overhead and digitizes field operations with Pillir

Reducing Overhead Costs While Digitizing Processes Related to a Fluctuating Mobile Workforce

Villara Building Systems, a large heating, air, plumbing, and solar services company, needed a better way to manage time entry and labor tracking for a fluctuating mobile workforce. The company relied on paper-based processes for remote workers, with supervisors and payroll staff manually consolidating and entering data into SAP, creating delays, holiday overtime burdens, and a high risk of errors. Villara turned to Pillir and its EdgeReady Cloud low-code application platform to address these challenges.

Pillir built a custom, mobile-friendly app that integrated directly with SAP to digitize time entry, supervisor approval, and payroll workflows in real time, even in offline or low-connectivity environments. The result was a major efficiency gain: Villara reduced its payroll process from 3 full days and 5 FTEs to just 2 hours for 1 FTE, while also lowering infrastructure overhead, simplifying deployment, and enabling scalable user-based pricing for seasonal workforce changes.
