Arcoro HR is a terrific product when it is flowing the way you need it to! It has a lot to offer but it just takes time to learn all that it has to offer and then we throw the ever-changing world into the mix. I appreciate the webinars you put out and the quick Open Office Hours have been awesome too! Your people like Arbaz Khan, Max Clement, and Shannon Baquar have been very helpful to me!

We are long-term users of the B2W system. We believe it is the best choice for paving contractors. It is easy to learn and continues to offer even deeper ability as estimating prowess grows. The system allows us to update quotes that were given in the past and to stay on top of our costs as changes occur, so our data is up to date and accurate. Know your costs and you can make money!

Pros
Arcoro
  • Open Enrollment - this is an AWESOME feature. We have over 900 employees and we wouldn't dream of doing this by hand again! Everything legible and every required field filled out.
  • Electronic feeds to the insurance carriers/benefit vendors - this is seamless and we have more issues with the vendors than with Arcoro HR!
  • ACA reporting is something that they handle and it is one less headache that we have to deal with!
  • Applicant tracking that flows into onboarding then into the benefits module!

  • Allows management to update costs for each individual item, equipment, labor, PR taxes, benefits, materials, etc.
  • Allows management to see how aggressive estimators have built an estimate to evaluate risk.
  • Allows monthly changes in fuel prices and liquid asphalt to quickly update the system for all.
  • Allows management to override margins for overhead and profit to match backlog and need for work versus budget.

Cons
Arcoro
  • EmpTrust has been combative in its approach to working with us to address issues. A new E-Verify partner would be greatly appreciated.
  • Federal and State update forms are delayed in being available within the platform. This causes questions and confusion at onboarding until they're available. Sooner availability would keep the process efficient and reduce data-entry errors that require later changes.

  • We request changes to the software as issues crop up and the B2W process changes as needed.
  • A time-out function should be added to knock dormant users offline and allow other users access to the limited number of licenses the company owns.

It is easer to keep someing going then change things out. Our employees have taken 6 months to learn this one, I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Just this week I have seen inprovment as they now know they do not get paid if they do not clock in and back out every day.

Usability
Arcoro
Very user friendly. Nothing's perfect but ExakTime is pretty close! Employees are diligent about clocking in and out in order to get paid! I love that we can customize reports to get exactly the info that we need. It's also very helpful to provide documentation of hours worked for our customers.

Support Rating
Arcoro
I have not had to use support other then as we got started
and had a few hick ups but they were great.
They answered all our questions even if some of them were no the program
does not do that. I guess the best support is one that is not needed because
the product works great and does its job right

Implementation Rating
Arcoro
Gave a notice to all
employees to come to work 15 min early on the day planned to implement the
program. I had Spanish and English signs
on how to down load the program and log in I showed them ALL how to log in and
out and explained that they are responsible for reporting accurate time. I had them all sign a policy that lunch
breaks were mandatory for all employees
at least 30 min per day. This ensures
safety on the roofs. We had a few people
who did not have passwords to the app store and we had a few problems with
android phones but most of them were on their way quickly. Most not happy about the change but I hope
they see the benefit of it now.

We still use Sage, and ExakTime is compatible with it, which is why we went with ExakTime. So technically we use both at this time. ExakTime is a great pairing with Sage since Sage does not have any applications that let employees clock in and out. So we use ExakTime for that and then transfer the information to Sage for the reporting and issuing of deposits/checks, etc.

Return on Investment
Arcoro
  • Payroll Accuracy - Hours used to be manually calculated here. Depending on the person it was almost never accurate resulting in employees being under paid or the company losing money.
  • Time - To calculate 30+ employees hours, including overtime was a nightmare and took an entire day. I now do minor changes day of payroll to fix up things and ask questions and I am no more than 20 minutes. That is a huge time and money saver.
