Case Study: Alfmeier Friedrichs & Rath achieves seamless payroll and benefits integration, cutting open-enrollment from days to hours with PlanSource

Alfmeier Friedrichs & Rath uses PlanSource to fully integrate Payroll and Benefits Administration

Alfmeier Friedrichs & Rath, a Greenville, SC-based automotive parts manufacturer with 230 employees, faced a major HR bottleneck: a three-person HR team spent hours manually entering benefits and payroll data and had to switch between separate payroll and benefits systems. During open enrollment this manual process took 2–3 days, creating risk of data errors and compliance issues, so Alfmeier turned to PlanSource’s benefits administration solution to streamline operations.

PlanSource implemented a fully integrated payroll-and-benefits platform with online enrollment, easier EDI to carriers, and a modern, user-friendly interface. As a result, deductions now flow automatically into payroll, payroll audits take under five minutes per week, and open enrollment processing dropped from 2–3 days to about three hours — eliminating manual entry and reducing error risk while enabling employees to enroll anytime, anywhere.
