Case Study: Gurtz Electric reduces payroll processing by 75% with Rhumbix Timekeeping

Electrical Contractor Decreases Payroll Processing by 75% with Rhumbix Timekeeping

Gurtz Electric Co., a family-owned electrical contractor serving the Chicagoland area, needed a better way to manage weekly timecards, paper tickets, and spreadsheet-based payroll reporting for hundreds of electricians and foremen. Their manual process was tedious, lacked cost codes, and made it difficult for project managers and executives to see labor spend and identify budget overruns in time.

Rhumbix provided Timekeeping, Payroll, and Time & Materials Tracking in a mobile and web-based platform that replaced paper processes, streamlined field-to-office communication, and integrated with Gurtz Electric’s accounting software. With Rhumbix, Gurtz Electric reduced payroll processing time by 75%, eliminated paper timecard submissions, and now manages nearly 80% of payroll through the system while gaining daily cost-code visibility and better historical data for estimating future jobs.
