Case Study: BAE Systems achieves 210% ROI and 6‑month payback with WorkForce Software's EmpCenter

Bae System - Customer Case Study

Atlantic Marine, a shipbuilding and maritime services provider with about 1,800 workers across three large shipyards, needed more current, granular labor data to support lean initiatives, improve bid estimating, anticipate overtime, analyze job-level injuries, and satisfy government auditors who required daily labor accounting. Its existing Kronos system only provided weekly invoicing and could not automate project-by-project daily verification, creating delays and administrative burden.

Atlantic deployed WorkForce Software’s EmpCenter to automate time and attendance capture, project-specific daily labor cost reporting, advanced scheduling, and mobile sign-in via wireless kiosks and PDAs. The rollout reduced clerical headcount and paper and clock-replacement costs, cut supervisor time on time-and-attendance by 60% and report-building time by 75%, and lowered support effort by 83%. Financially, the solution delivered a 210% ROI, average annual benefits of $1,938,576, and a payback period of six months.
