Delta Sonic Reports Improved Efficiencies with UltiPro

Ultimate Software (www.ultimatesoftware.com) announced that Delta Sonic Car Wash Systems, Inc., a leading car wash and convenience retailer, has been able to reduce its administrative staff, redirect them to strategic assignments, and improve reporting since implementing UltiPro in January 2003.

"My team used to spend an inordinate amount of time on manual activities associated with payroll," said Tammy Johannes, payroll manager for Delta Sonic. "Now time and attendance information passes directly into UltiPro, and the solution does the work for us."

Before UltiPro, Delta Sonic was using a service bureau that couldn't address the company's complex payroll and reporting needs. The company has a fluctuating workforce that often works multiple jobs in different profit centers, receives tips that may require "makeup" pay, and must be paid bonuses and commissions.

Managing compensation for employees in 27 car washes, detail shops, lube shops, and convenience stores, Delta Sonic's payroll staff previously spent hours each week on manual data entry, payroll calculations, and reporting. With UltiPro, the retailer has been able to automate these processes and reduce its payroll staff.

According to Johannes, her team currently focuses on strategic projects that bring more value to the department and to the company, instead of spending time entering data.

Now Delta Sonic has real-time access to earnings and other payroll details, compliance numbers, headcount reports, and a variety of other business operations reports and business intelligence for both the payroll group's and company leadership's needs.

Ultimate Software, a leading provider of Web-based payroll and workforce management solutions, markets award-winning UltiPro as licensed software, as a hosted application through Intersourcing, and as a co-branded offering to Business Service Providers (BSPs) under the "Powered by UltiPro" brand.
