Case Study: Western Partitions reduces payroll processing time with SmartBarrel

How WPI Reduced Payroll Processing Time by 60% and Achieved 100% Error-Free Reporting

Western Partitions, Inc. (WPI), a specialty contractor with over 1,500 field employees, was facing significant challenges with its manual time-tracking processes. As the company grew, its reliance on foremen to record crew hours with paper timesheets led to errors, reporting delays, and a complex payroll verification process, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of labor costs.

To address this, WPI implemented SmartBarrel's AI-powered biometric time tracking solution. The system automated clock-ins and clock-outs, replacing the manual paper system. This integration resulted in a 60% reduction in payroll processing time, achieved 100% error-free reporting, and generated significant annual cost savings estimated at $36,000 for one region alone.
