Case Study: Archer Mechanical cuts labor costs and speeds payroll with WorkMax TIME

Archer Mechanical Scraps Spreadsheets to Save $153,296 in Labor Costs

Archer Mechanical, a mechanical contractor in Salt Lake City with 80 employees, was relying on spreadsheets and manual data entry to track field labor hours and process payroll. The approach was slow, error-prone, and made it difficult to catch late arrivals, early departures, or extended breaks, while also requiring payroll staff to manually re-enter time into A-Systems JobView.

Archer Mechanical implemented WorkMax TIME to let employees clock in and out in real time from mobile devices, reduce supervisor involvement, use facial recognition to prevent buddy punching, and sync accurate labor data directly into A-Systems JobView. With WorkMax, payroll processing time dropped by 75% from 16 hours to 4 hours per week, the company avoided hiring another payroll employee, and first-year savings totaled $153,296, including $141,440 in labor costs and $11,856 in payroll labor costs.
