Pioneer Metal Deploys Kronos in the Cloud to Manage Rapid Expansion
CHELMSFORD, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Pioneer Metal Finishing, a manufacturing company that offers a wide
array of metal finishing services with locations across the U.S. and
Mexico, has implemented workforce management solutions from Kronos
Incorporated in the Kronos
Cloud.
News Facts
-
As detailed in Constellation Research, Inc.'s "System Consolidation in
the Cloud Enables Rapid Growth: Fast-Growing Metal Finishing Company
Puts HR System in the Cloud", Pioneer Metal is rapidly growing, both
organically and through acquisitions. The manufacturer needed a
workforce management solution that could scale for its growing
employee population.
-
The Kronos (News - Alert) Workforce Ready® suite - including time and
attendance, human resources, and payroll - replaces a legacy
mainframe-based product used by Pioneer Metal and operated by a
service bureau provider. The previous product had limited
functionality and reporting capabilities for the rapidly expanding
enterprise of 1,400 employees.
-
Since going live, the Kronos solution has helped Pioneer Metal cut
down on costs and improve efficiencies, running at half the operating
cost of its previous vendor while also doubling business functionality.
-
Pioneer Metal also leverages Kronos mobile applications to provide
employees with anytime, anyplace access to their leave balances and
paycheck information via their mobile devices. Leveraging Kronos
mobile applications also frees up HR staff to spend time on more
value-added activities.
-
With the Kronos solution, Pioneer Metal HR staff is able to easily and
quickly load new hire information into the system, which is
particularly beneficial when the company conducts an acquisition
requiring hundreds of records to be loaded within a short timeframe.
-
Pioneer Metal leveraged Kronos professional services staff to conduct
the implementation. The Pioneer Metal IT team continues to benefit
from the Kronos Cloud deployment, as they now rely on Kronos for
upgrades and timely access to the latest product enhancements.

efficiencies."

it is important that the company has a solution that can accommodate
growth and handle industry-specific needs. With Kronos, it is poised
to do both successfully."
