The above illustrates the resources required to manage the costly, error prone
manual time keeping process with manual calculations & manual data entry
for payroll processing and billing.
Red arrows represent

The American Payroll Association conducted
a study and identified “…three expensive
problems” associated with manual processes:
1. “The time to manually compute hours.”
Totaling time and calculating overtime &
accruals are tedious low value tasks
requiring the time of highly paid accountants
& administrative staff.
2. “The errors made in manually computing
time. Experts feel the error rate is
probably 1%.” Do your own calculation –
multiply your labor costs (payroll) * 1%.
What could you save?
3. “Lost Time” or Time Theft. “The average
workers steals 4 hours and 18 minutes
per week by coming in late, goofing off,
taking long lunches and breaks…”

Case Studies
Industry: Landscaping
Total Employees: 60
Mobile Employees: 50
Situation:
Heritage Master Village Association, Inc. is a master planned community on
50,000 acres with homes, rivers, trails, a golf course, tennis courts, pools & clubhouse.
Employees responsible for landscaping and maintenance must check
in at the clubhouse to clock in, then walk to their assigned worksite to
do mowing, seeding, trimming, and other landscaping duties. This
resulted In elevated labor costs and decreased productivity.
Solution:
Battery powered, weather –proof timeclocks, employee issued key fobs:
50 new Sprint phones and 7 Super devices for bluetooth collection
Benefits:
“Costs were reduced, and the accuracy and integrity of the data was significantly
improved. Payroll administration time was reduced, along with Workers Comp claims.”
- Matt Mozdziak, Purchasing/IT Administrator
Case Study
Case Study
Industry: Cleaning & Custodial
Total Employees: 320
Mobile Employees: 300
Situation:
Jancoa employees clean client locations throughout Cincinnati; they service all
business types from banks to sporting arenas. With 300 employees going out to 70
different, non company owned sites they needed an easy, cost effective and wireless
way to collect time for multi-lingual and potentially illiterate employees.
Solution: Wireless timeclocks were mounted in client locations allowing employees
to clock in upon arrival and departure using a numeric key pad
and green/red buttons. 70 ZTE Optik tablets with About Time
data collection software and mounting kits.
Benefits:
“This is exactly what we need. I can see every employee
in the organization being able to use this, and it’s much less
expensive than the connection fees we are paying for today
for wireline clocks which only work in some of our locations.”
Case Study
Industry: Contractors
Total Employees: 280
Mobile Employees: 255
Situation:
Dickens Quality Demolition is a specialty contractor in Phoenix, Arizona. With 30
foremen managing 1-2 jobs and up to 10 man crews, they needed a more accurate
and efficient way of collection time and allowing managers to approve time and track
budgets from the field.
Solution: Each Supervisor was issued a GPS enabled netbook with About Time
mobile timeclock software and a biometric fingerprint reader. Each employee clocks in
using the supervisor’s device upon arrival at the job site recording his exact time and
eliminating supervisors’ end of week estimations & paper timecard delivery & data entry
Benefits:
“These devices were exactly what we need and priced right at less
than $100 per unit. We are exited to go live!”
Case Study
Industry: Construction
Total Employees: 88
Mobile Employees: 50
Situation:
R&J Construction’s time-intensive & inexact payroll processes were 100% reliant on
mobile workers to record time (and overtime) .
Solution:
Sprint phones as timeclocks w/ Xora GPS; automation into ADP & MasterBuilder
Benefits:
“We now know where our workers are and what they are doing at all times, enabling
us to pay and invoice more accurately, route and dispatch more efficiently, and to more
successfully control costs. Simply put, Xora & ADP give us a tremendous competitive
advantage. Job-costing has never been more accurate and allows for more precise job
estimates. “ - Paula Wiens, Controller
- Reduced vehicle mileage reimbursement costs savings of approx. $6,000 per month.
- Positive financial impact of $180,000 YOY due to reduced OT & admin cost savings.

Features & Benefits of Integration
Mobile Timeclocks collect raw punch detail (8:08AM clock in punch)
Time & Labor Management system massages data (rounding rules, OT, accruals) and prepares
it for payroll and accounting
Automation increases speed & accuracy of payroll preparation
Automation and integration reduces labor costs by collecting real time information, eliminating
self rounding, eliminating manual calculations and manual entries which are error prone
The solution ensures compliance & fairness by universally applying company policies to all
employees
Signature capture, lunch/break verification, “pin-in” , biometrics and other features protect
companies against employee grievances and buddy punching
The solution may reduce workers compensation claims with “No Injury” acknowledgement upon
shift end
Companies will improve decision making with 50 different report options such as the
Approaching Overtime Report
Companies will improve audit compliance with 7 years of data storage
