Field service companies often face a distinct challenge when it comes to managing their payroll processes. With a significant portion of their workforce operating in the field, the task of verifying and inputting their working hours into the payroll system becomes a time-consuming manual endeavour.
Additionally, the constant need to onboard new employees and swiftly integrate new job sites into the system adds another layer of complexity. Addressing these issues head-on, Abaqus and Gusto have collaborated to offer an innovative solution that not only streamlines the payroll process but also enhances overall operational efficiency for field service enterprises.
Gusto, a comprehensive platform catering to payroll, HR processing, and benefits management, has joined forces with Abaqus to tackle these unique challenges faced by field service businesses. By seamlessly integrating their capabilities, this partnership facilitates the smooth provisioning of employees, job sites, and tasks. While simplifying the collection of time attendance records from the field, thereby ensuring a seamless and error-free payroll processing experience.
Central to this integration is Abaqus’ allGeo platform, which empowers businesses to effortlessly track their field staff without necessitating manual check-ins and check-outs at job sites.
allGeo uses combinations of daily work schedules, virtual boundaries around job sites, and automatic calculations based on company rules to figure out the exact hours that field workers have been working. This helps make sure that the hours they’ve put in are calculated accurately.
With the incorporation of Gusto, this precise time attendance data can be directly imported into the platform, eliminating inaccuracies and ensuring precise payroll processing.
The collaboration between Abaqus and Gusto extends the capability for customers to smoothly incorporate their time clock data into Gusto’s system. This integration significantly reduces errors and considerably minimizes the time and effort traditionally expended in this process. The workflow between allGeo and Gusto unfolds as follows:
- Effortless Onboarding: Employees are automatically synchronized between Gusto and the allGeo platform.
- Seamless Import of Job Data: Job and work order schedules are imported from Gusto into the allGeo system. This data includes critical information like sites, tasks, and compensation rates.
- Efficient Field Monitoring: The allGeo platform enables real-time monitoring of field activities, raising alerts for exceptions and capturing attendance hours and job-related information directly from the field.
- Accurate Export of Reports: Time clock reports, inclusive of regular and overtime calculations, along with compensation details, are seamlessly transferred from allGeo to Gusto for further processing.
This integration between two powerful platforms seamlessly crafts an integrated field operations workflow. From scheduling and oversight in the back office to data collection and verification in the field, all the way to the final step of payroll processing. This partnership effectively streamlines payroll procedures and enhances productivity through automation.
