Home > Case Study

		Problem Payroll is expected to be accurate, without compliance issues, and on time for thousands of employees spread across hundreds of geographically dispersed locations.

Unfortunately, this expense, number one for most companies, often requires a great deal of time and money to implement. Simply automating a manual process may not be the answer; even if the change works well, companies don’t always pay attention to the system generated reports they receive. So, why not have a system that, once installed, is tailored to your needs? For example, you tell it what information you want and, when it finds it, you get an alert, instead of having to constantly look for the exception that somehow your boss always finds first.

Solution

ActaView worked closely with Cignify to identify specific labor management issues that, if addressed properly, could help their customers save money. The emphasis was on addressing those issues that could potentially have the largest bottom line impact and provide management with insight into trends and patterns for more proactive decision making.

Basic Time and Attendance Data:

ActaView integrated its product within Cignify’s flagship product PeopleNet ® , which now delivers real time labor management exception information in the form of alerts. Cignify’s customers were interested in variance data for comparison purposes. With hundreds of locations, headquarters liked the idea of comparing performance among their sites. Through ActaView, Cignify’s customers may now compare missing punch data, pay practice enforcement, and numerous other metrics they have selected to manage their business. ActaView enables Cignify’s customers to manage and optimize their labor management practices in a positive, proactive manner.

Advanced Labor Management Tracking:

ActaView and Cignify have deli-ered a flexible, customer driven platform for growth. The starting point was basic tracking and monitoring, followed by comprehensive labor management analysis. Overtime labor is one example of information that generally arrives too late to impact current month financial expectations. With ActaView, the actual or real time data is compared with budgets and forecasts. If the budget or forecast is not on target, a proactive variance alert is sent to the responsible person. ActaView then becomes a powerful management tool delivering information ahead of time and allowing time for communication and decision making that positively impact the bottom line. The customer decides on the information to manage, which can be changed at any time. When the problem is fixed, the alerts can be changed by the customer, allowing the system to manage a different area of potential concern.

Customer Care:

ActaView and Cignify have worked together to create a set of metrics to better support their customers and the data coming from People-Net ® . Cignify customer care representatives may now proactively advise their customers in areas that positively impact labor management and build strong, ongoing customer relationships.

The Result

Cignify’s customers win through increased access to information that counts. Decision makers get timely information and can take proactive steps to prevent unnecessary rework or financial surprises. Cignify benefits from new features that customers actually use and enjoy which further differentiates Cignify from their competition. Together we have raised the bar of what it means to provide world class labor management solutions with the right tools for the right job.
