    Arcoro
    From sales to implementation, the process was a little oversold. We didn't know the right questions to ask - had we known what to ask, it would have been easier to embrace from the beginning. Once the training begins, it's comfortable with the tools and team. Our Project Manager had changed throughout the implementation process, but we didn't miss a beat. Arcoro takes care of us, and I would recommend them as a Sage partner.

    We have a small company with very simple needs. This software meets those needs, but it looks like it is capable of doing so much more than what we use it for. I typically use only a few screens and a few reports. It is very well suited for our needs, but I don't know the full functionality of the system due to our limited needs.

    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!

    Cons
    Arcoro
    • Since we started using the HUB, I have things listed as jobsites that are not jobsites on Exaktime, I'd like them removed such as DO NOT SYNC, JBLMANG, JENSEN, 1 HOME OFFICE, 2 DM OFFICE I guess they are called "locations" but every once in a while one of our guys will clock into one of them by mistake.
    • When submitting a ticket, quicker response time would be appreciated. Arbaz is quick to respond but the tickets are not responded to very quickly. I think Arcoro HR is a great product but response time is important! Especially when you have a lot of employees counting on a paycheck every Friday.

    • One problem it has is if you try to cut multiple checks for a person (sometimes) it creates an error which requires assistance from the processor to get it straightened out.
    • You need to pay close attention when reviewing prior to submitting. Sometimes if you think you saved something it might not have saved it and if you don't catch it before you submit, it requires assistance to get corrected up to and including voiding a check and re-issuing.
    • In my opinion, it's somewhat expensive. I have been looking at other providers who would use a different system, and they seem to be significantly cheaper. That may not be a direct correlation to the software but to the provider.
    • I don't know if it is capable of allowing a user to create new reports, but if it doesn't, that would be something to consider as a missing functionality.
    • I haven't found an area that allows for tracking pay increases. We simply overwrite a persons rate of pay when we give a raise, so there is no tracking of the date a raise was given or a comparison showing what they made prior to or when the last raise was given. (That I am aware of).

    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.

    Evolution is provided by our current third party payroll processor. We are currently considering changing processors, because of increased prices and competition is priced significantly lower.

    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

    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.
