Case Study: Midwest Manufacturer achieves $157K annual savings and streamlined payroll with WorkForce Software EmpCenter Time & Attendance

WorkForce Software Supports Rapid Growth for a Midwest Manufacturer

A Midwest-based manufacturer with multiple plants faced rapid growth (about fivefold in two years) that outpaced its time-clock system and created complex payroll, scheduling, and compliance challenges across states and worker types. The company struggled with buddy punching, inaccurate start times, paper records, and growing audit and accountability requirements as it scaled.

The firm implemented WorkForce Software’s EmpCenter Time & Attendance — a web-based, badge-enabled system that timestamps work, tracks jobs/projects, enforces policies, calculates pay and accruals, and integrates with HR and payroll. The solution eliminated paper and many payroll errors, cut payroll processing by 300 hours/year, reduced employee time wasted on pay issues by ~4,200 hours/year, lowered overtime by about $34,400/year, and delivered roughly $157,000 in annual benefits; IDC calculated a five-year ROI of 472% with payback in about nine months.
