Case Study: Tompkins Excavating scales operations 40% with Trayd

How a New York State MWBE Excavation Leader Grew Operations Without Growing Overhead

A New York State certified MWBE excavation company, Tompkins Excavating, faced increasing administrative strain from certified payroll and prevailing wage requirements as it expanded its public-sector work. Their legacy tools created fragmented workflows and lacked language support for field crews, leading to manual work and delays. Leadership needed to support a multilingual workforce across more job sites without increasing back-office headcount or compliance risk, and they turned to Trayd for a solution.

Trayd provided a unified system for payroll, time tracking, and compliance, featuring multilingual support and automated calculations for certified payroll. This solution reduced weekly payroll approval time by 70%, shrinking a full-day process to just a few hours. Automated reporting cut compliance report generation from 8 hours to 30 minutes. As a result, Tompkins Excavation scaled its field operations by 40% without having to increase its back-office administrative workload.
