Retailer Replaces ADP payroll software with
Sage payroll software and Unitime time and
attendance, reduces system costs by half City Newsstand is a Chicagoland retailer with two locations and 15
employees. In early 2006, the company replaced its ADP payroll
software and time clock systems with a lean, integrated solution
recommended by ACG. The solution included Sage payroll software
and Unitime time and attendance. City Newsstand had previously implemented another Sage solution,
MAS90, for accounting. City owner Joe Angelastri believed his
company could save both time and hard dollars by integrating payroll
with general ledger, and by automating daily time and attendance
functions. Incompatibility between ADP payroll software and MAS 90,
and the superior reporting capability of Sage payroll software,
were other reasons to upgrade. Implementation was completed in March, 2006. According to Angelastri,
Sage payroll software from ACG has proved to be an exceptional payroll
outsourcing alternative that minimizes the risk of errors. A true, web-native
application, Sage payroll software lets City Newsstand run payroll
on-demand, and instantly access reports; information is available
24/7 from any computer. “We can also do all kinds of things on the timeclock side, including
putting schedules in for employees and matching actual time in and out.
The system polls the time clocks automatically, so manual morning roll
call is a thing of the past. The elimination of this one task alone saves
us 8 hours a year,” adds Angelastri. “The more important, bottom line
result, he adds, is that our overall costs have been cut by half.” The Sage payroll software, and Unitime time and attendance, both
require time to learn, says Angelastri, but not to manage. “And that’s
what’s important. We like the fact that data is on secure servers,
with information available to us on demand. Payroll software, time and attendance – and other functions as well –
have come full circle, suggests Angelastri. “In the beginning, there were
mainframes, and centralized computing. PCs turned this on its head,
with distributed computing that was highly de-centralized. Now,
high speed internet and low software costs have made it easy to
centralize again – this time with substantial benefits in flexibility of use,
data integrity – and never having to worry about data loss or backups." Sage payroll software also lets users:
- Automate the exchange of payroll data with HR software
- Input and approve employee time via a secure, online network.
- Enjoy a penalty-free guarantee, which promises accurate,
timely deposits and filings with taxing agencies, or Sage payroll
software pays the resulting penalties.
- Offer employees direct deposit convenience
