Case Study: Home Hardware cuts payroll processing time by almost 60% with Synerion

Home Hardware - Customer Case Study

Home Hardware, a Canadian co‑op of over 1,000 independent dealers with more than 2,300 employees across six corporate locations, faced inefficient manual time and attendance tracking. Paper summaries were sent to head office for re‑keying, supervisors lacked timely access to data, and the organization needed to roll out a security access system while replacing its payroll provider—creating complex integration and accuracy challenges.

Synerion deployed TimeZone Client Server with four additional modules and 35+ TCP/IP collection terminals, plus a data synchronization interface to the new payroll system. The integrated solution automated time capture, eliminated manual re‑keying, provided supervisors with timely information, reduced payroll processing time by nearly 60%, and delivered clear operational benefits and ROI with ongoing vendor support.
