CSI Selects TMS

Prior to implementing TMS, Component Sources International had a very manual and intensive payroll process in place.  Employees would punch in and out through a manual punch clock. From there, Supervisors would review the time cards prior to the information being added to a spreadsheet which would then be submitted to their payroll provider. By implementing TMS, employees now use their employees access cards to swipe in at a terminal which will then flag the Supervisor to log in and correct on the exceptions to their time cards . Once the exceptions have been approved or corrected, the information is submitted directly to their Harpers Payroll System. 

"Before Advance Systems' TMS, we had a punch clock with no reporting capabilities whatsoever. We had to manually input all payroll information. Now the process is completely automated, TMS automatically exports the payroll data to Harpers and gives the Supervisors real time access to payroll information. Information is easier to access with TMS and we now have more options for storing and viewing information. TMS has made managing employees more efficient. Sick days, entitlements and all other employee data is very accessible to us. Our payroll processing time has been reduced by 30%"

On-time and Very Helpful

Christopher O'Neill describes the transition to TMS as "simple  and very easy. The system was installed on-time as promised and the support has been very good. The help desk has a been a huge help whenever needed and has been very reliable."

Improved Productivity and Reduced Costs

"TMS helps to keep better track of employees information, hours worked etc. Reducing our payroll processing time by 30% has helped to increase the productivity of our workforce by enabling staff to work on other projects and tasks instead of manually inputting data. We have better control of overtime figures, we can better monitor our workforce's hours worked and we have an improved approval process that we did not have before. We came from nothing to a system that generates reports, automates the payroll process and reduces costs."
