National Scientific Equipment Services Provider.

Our Projects

Manual payroll and scattered compliance records were costing a national equipment services firm a week per cycle and creating real audit risk. We automated payroll, expenses, and documentation, cutting processing to two days and freeing 17 finance hours a week.

The Challenge

A national scientific equipment servicing company handling installation, calibration, maintenance, and compliance documentation had outgrown its back-office operations.

Growth exposed four operational gaps:

  • Manual payroll: Multi-state technicians, varying labor laws, reimbursements, and per-diems made every payroll cycle a week-long, error-prone reconciliation.
  • Disconnected expense management: Expenses, finance, and payroll lived in separate systems with no automated data flow, requiring constant manual matching.
  • Compliance risk: Service records, calibration certificates, and audit documentation were scattered across emails, shared drives, and technician notes.
  • Difficult scaling: Onboarding new technicians meant days of manually configuring payroll, expense policies, and documentation workflows — often leading to first-paycheck errors.
The Solution

We implemented an AI-powered back-office automation system that streamlined the company’s most time-consuming operations.

  • Automated payroll: Field hours, job assignments, and state-specific labor rules are processed automatically to generate payroll, eliminating manual reconciliation.
  • Integrated expense management: A secure automated connection syncs approved expenses directly to payroll, removing manual data entry and spreadsheet matching.
  • Automated onboarding: New technicians are automatically configured with the correct payroll, expense, and compliance workflows based on their role and location.
  • Centralized compliance: Service records and documentation are captured in a structured, searchable system, making audits fast and reliable.
