BNBuilders Streamlines HR and Payroll with True CMiC Integration

BNBuilders, a large general contractor facing inefficiencies from manual, duplicate HR and payroll data entry across multiple systems, streamlined operations and improved reporting by adopting Arcoro’s HR platform fully integrated with their CMiC ERP, enabling seamless, employee-by-employee data syncing, eliminating redundant workflows, and establishing a single system of record for employee and payroll data.

BNBuilders, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is a leading general contractor with more than 1,000 employees across California and Denver. As the company grew, it needed HR and payroll solutions that could scale with its business and maintain operational efficiency across multiple locations.

The Challenge

BNBuilders faced several operational challenges with their HR and payroll processes:

  • Manual and duplicate data entry consuming valuable staff time
  • Reliance on multiple third-party systems, spreadsheets, and paper workflows
  • Lack of a clear system of record for employee data
  • Cumbersome reporting capabilities with limited access to data

Paul Smith, Director of Systems Integrations at BNBuilders, described their old system as cumbersome, with data only accessible via a flat file run once nightly. The company wanted to implement the CMiC ERP system but also needed HR software that would integrate seamlessly, avoiding extra data entry for staff.

The Solution

After evaluating several options, BNBuilders selected Arcoro’s HR platform for its robust integration capabilities with CMiC. What set Arcoro apart was its true integration with CMiC, unlike other solutions that only offered limited API connections.

Arcoro’s CMiC integration provided several benefits:

Eliminated Duplicate Data Entry with One System of Record

The integration dramatically reduced manual processes. Previously, payroll and employee data had to be entered twice. Now, employee-specific data is managed in Arcoro, while payroll data is managed in CMiC, with seamless syncing between the two. This clear division eliminated confusion about where data should be entered and maintained.

Smith noted, "It’s really quite powerful. You don’t have to sync everybody all at once. You could do one employee at a time. You can see what it’s going to do before it goes into the system. It’s been gigantic for us."

Enhanced Reporting Capabilities

With Arcoro’s Advanced Analytics, access to data and reporting improved significantly. Employee-specific reports are easily accessible, and the team knows exactly where to find the data they need.

Empowered the HR Team

The integration is managed entirely by the HR department without IT support, empowering the HR team to handle weekly syncs independently.

Best-In-Class Support

Arcoro provided strong support throughout the implementation. Employee adoption was smooth and required minimal training, as the system was intuitive and easy to use. Regular engagement and training with the Arcoro team ensured a successful rollout.

Through its partnership with Arcoro, BNBuilders streamlined HR operations, eliminated duplicate data entry, established clear systems of record, and empowered the HR team with improved reporting and user-friendly interfaces.

Paul Smith summarized, "Arcoro’s HR integration with CMiC payroll has streamlined our processes, eliminating the headaches of data entry and multiple timely syncs. This has been a game-changer for our back-office efficiency. It’s not just the technology; the Arcoro support team is incredibly responsive and collaborative. They’ve been a true partner in optimizing our workforce operations."
