Geography can present a challenge to many businesses. For Jessica Neal, HR General Manager for American Cedar and Millwork, tracking employee hours across locations in three states consumed most of her time and led to inefficiencies throughout the business. To achieve their vision of bringing their customers’ building visions to life, American Cedar and Millwork showcases high end building materials like doors, windows and cabinetry in their showrooms and pulls out the stops to provide a smooth delivery and service. Jessica’s HR tasks support the main office staff, sales reps at each of their showrooms, warehouse workers, and delivery drivers with fluctuating schedules.…

02 / Implementation

After years of using stand-alone payroll software and simple spreadsheets to track everything HR-related, Jessica knew that she couldn’t keep up the pace as American Cedar and Millwork continued to grow. With BambooHR® and BambooHR® Time Tracking, she can now support the varying needs of all the employees in her company. SELF-SERVICE: “If a driver is coming in at 5:00 in the morning to load a truck, he can pull up BambooHR on his phone and log in. It makes it so much easier. We were also getting a younger workforce who were asking for online access and other things that we couldn’t do previously.” OVERTIME REPORTING: “If managers wanted overtime reports before, I had to manually go into our system and access [the report] for them.…

03 / Reported outcomes

Before BambooHR, Jessica spent most of her time managing payroll. Now she can support managers in three different states in recruiting and employee satisfaction efforts. BambooHR improved average employee performance by 25 to 30 percent, helping employees spend hours on productivity instead of asking about overtime. Helping managers keep track of overtime with shifting schedules led to a 25 to 30 percent reduction in overtime, mainly in unnecessary overtime hours as clock-in/clock-out times became more accurate.

Growth can be a challenge for many small companies. Avidbots, a robotics company in Kitchener, Ontario, was no exception. When Lisa Marino joined Avidbots as HR Manager in 2016, she quickly found that she needed more tools than the current spreadsheets to support her workforce. “My biggest pet peeve was the vacation tracker that I had set up in Google Sheets,” Lisa said. “You’ve got emails coming left, right, and center, you’re updating the spreadsheet, and then you’re giving that to payroll on a regular basis so they can update the financials.” With 70 employees at the time and no other HR staff, Lisa found herself spending 1.5 hours each day sifting through redundant time-off emails from employees and managers as well as responding to other interru…

02 / Implementation

Avidbots had a main reason for selecting BambooHR: cost. “We’re a small business,” Lisa explained. “It sounds super cheap, but it’s the truth. I needed a basic tool that I could roll out and use for the next few years. But the cost of some of these HR software options was phenomenal.” Getting executive buy-in can be intimidating for HR professionals, but the process went well between Lisa and her CEO. “Whenever I show my CEO something, I say ‘Look, this is the cost, and this is what it’s going to save,’ and he’ll make a decision. With all the ways that BambooHR simplifies, automates, and integrates, he says he’s really happy with it.” Hiring (ATS): “Managers like the independence [of the ATS]. They don’t have to depend on HR.…

Self-Service PTO: Automating administrative tasks saved Lisa 1.5 hours each day—nearly 25 percent of her workday. Document Storage: BambooHR became Avidbots’ intranet, saving the internal development time and costs of creating their own system.

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center relied on paper files and filing cabinets, and these manual processes needed to evolve to keep up with leadership and employee needs. LACK OF A CENTRALIZED DATABASE: As a healthcare organization, Cabinet Peaks gets audited on a yearly basis. With manual systems and employees who have been with the company for over 30 years, just finding information on a day-to-day basis was difficult, so gathering information for those in-depth audits was nearly impossible. LIMITED VISIBILITY INTO HR PROCESSES: Manual processes made it difficult for Andre to report on HR metrics or answer HR-related questions, even for things that seemed simple, like how long a job posting had been open or how many applications it received.…

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center needed to graduate from filing cabinets and put everything in a centralized system. Since adopting BambooHR in 2020, Andre and Erin have transitioned out of manual processes and transformed their HR department into a strategic powerhouse. “HR was known as the party planners and paper pushers, but BambooHR has freed us up to have conversations about employee engagement, employee relations, and start thinking strategically,” says Andre. Erin and Andre have taken advantage of new product rollouts in BambooHR, adding Benefits Administration in 2023. “Prior to BambooHR, the benefits enrollment process was full of paperwork,” Erin explains.

When Devra first started at Clinica Colorado, it was daunting taking on all the HR tasks on top of all her other responsibilities as practice manager, and it didn’t help that she had an incredibly labor-intensive payroll process. Jumping between two systems meant she had to “make sure all the hours were approved, figure out what were work hours vs. PTO vs. overtime, go into the payroll system, manually input that information, make sure the benefits and everything else were correct, and make sure any incentives and reimbursements were correct.” But the time-consuming process didn’t stop there. After running payroll, she had to print out all the reports, print out all the paystubs, and upload everyone’s documents into BambooHR.…

Devra has freed up time for herself and given her employees better access to their own information, so their payroll process is now smoother than ever before. Simple Employee Self-Service: “[My employees] love the paystubs [feature]. You don’t have to go searching, it’s right there.... I try to give employees as much information as possible so they can do what they need to do. It’s immediate access for them, so they can get what they need, and it’s less time for me answering 20 different questions when I have other things I need to be doing.” One Place for Friendly Customer Support: “It’s nice to have only one company to go to if I have questions.…

Less Time Checking for Accuracy: Because she was using one system for time tracking and another system for payroll, Devra had to spend hours double checking and triple checking to make sure her payroll was accurate. And on top of that, a significant amount of time went into scanning, uploading, and attaching documents. Making the switch to BambooHR® Time Tracking and payroll “[has] saved me at least a couple hours each time I run payroll,” she explains. "It has definitely saved us a significant amount of time.” Everything in One Place: Devra doesn’t have to spend time jumping back and forth between systems now that she has payroll with BambooHR. “It’s so clean, so easy to find things you’re looking for.

LACK OF DATA TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS: Prior to implementing BambooHR, END. was having a hard time gleaning insights from their overly complex HR system.

When Lisa Scian started at ProntoForms five years ago, she was the first HR rep the company had ever had, which meant she was building from the ground up. Her first initiative was to gather all the spreadsheets the company had been using in a variety of formats and compile them in one place. “I was a one woman show, so I had to be able to find a solution that I was going to be able to implement quickly and easily,” Lisa recalls. She had heard about BambooHR® from others in the “Silicon Valley of the North” (aka Ottawa, Ontario, where ProntoForms is based), and knew this all-in-one HR platform was the perfect solution.…

BambooHR® Employee Satisfaction with eNPS® lets Lisa and her team at ProntoForms get to the heart of how employees feel about their organization with simple questions and an easy to interpret score.

Despite her extensive education in HR, Rachael basically built her own HR position at RSSP. “We created the position out of nothing. We swapped some tasks, and now I’m in charge of HR and payroll and benefits and accounting,” Rachael says. The payroll system RSSP used at the time was overly expensive for their business size and lacked supportive customer service. “The company we were with before cost more than BambooHR. They had the ability to have [HR and payroll] all in one system, but they tried to push us away from having it all in one system.” Payroll was costing more than just vendor fees—aside from another employee handling accounts receivable, Rachael was on her own in handling these extensive and demanding payroll responsibilities.…

After her employees were comfortable with BambooHR, she decided to add on payroll. The combination cleared her desk and transformed the employee experience. Things that used to take up time and space suddenly feel effortless. “It came up in conversation today,” says Rachael. “I said I don't notice when people take time off. Obviously, I have to approve everybody's time, and we have the calendar and reminders.…

Transitioning from literal stacks of paper to BambooHR® helped streamline HR and payroll processes. Faster Data Transfer: Prior to implementing BambooHR, entering payroll data was a nightmare. Not only did implementing our HRIS and payroll software save Rachael time, but because employee data automatically flows into payroll, it’s easier than ever for her to run payroll. “Before BambooHR. I honestly probably spent close to two hours a week [entering data in payroll].” Increased Responsiveness for Employees: Self-serve functions in BambooHR replaced Rachael’s practice of manually entering PTO hours for each employee.…

Smart WFM’s previous HR system was prohibitively complex and outdated. As a result, the HR team remained mired in time-consuming processes while employees lacked easy access to important HR info and services.

“I didn't think there was anybody in Australia that was using BambooHR,” says Rob, who has worked with HR tech his whole career and was familiar with BambooHR by name only. As he began investigating new solutions for Smart WFM’s challenges, he was surprised to learn that BambooHR already “had hundreds of customers in the country.” “We needed our HR software to grow with us,” he adds, but flexibility, customization, and quality support was also essential. They found it all with BambooHR. “What’s so nice to see is a vendor that actually responds,” Rob emphasizes. “It’s been a very different experience for us using BambooHR.” Jerrod McGrath, CEO at Smart WFM, agrees: “BambooHR makes the entire people process simple and streamlined.…

Expanding its workforce to handle more of its important research, a biopharmaceutical company developing therapies for cancer patients needed to streamline its HR workflows to eliminate data-entry errors and save time. For the company to scale up, it needed automation to replace its inefficient manual processes.

02 / Implementation

Flexspring had the experience and knowledge to help the company automate data coming into ADP Workforce Now ® from BambooHR ® with a hands-free, point-to-point solution. Manually onboarding new hires, updating current employee status, and handling custom payroll information were tasks that took time away from growing their business. Since implementing automation and data integrations, the company is much more efficient. “All things considered,” said the company’s IT consultant, who led the project, “I would say we’re saving at least 25 hours a month.”

“Prior to Flexspring’s integration, we had quite a few data entry errors. We wanted to alleviate any kind of manual input errors as we add new hires. Data integration eliminated a huge amount of headaches, saving us time .” — IT Consultant, Biopharmaceutical Company”
