Follett Uses ADP DataCloud to Help Simplify Reporting, Providing Insights for HR Practitioners and Speeding Decision-Making for Business Leaders - Seite 2

"Collaborating with our clients to develop easy-to-use, intuitive, integrated tools that help them solve real business problems is why we focus so intensely on practical innovation that's easy to apply," said Dave Imbrogno, president of ADP's National Account Services group. "It's great to see Follett experience such immediate and tangible results."

Alex Kirkpatrick, the HRIS Manager at Follett who is largely responsible for directing the day-to-day use and deployment of the simplified reporting tool, says the real-time nature of the solution is saving his team time and helping them focus far more time and attention on contributing to business strategy.

"Reporting is no longer a reactive task for us," Kirkpatrick explains. "We can run a report in literally five minutes, making data analysis an integral part of the decision-making process. During meetings, we can instantly see trend data that, in the past, would take days to compile and require a second meeting to review. In addition, reporting used to be a function for only our most technically savvy practitioners. Now, the reporting analysis functions -- such as sorting, grouping, and charting -- help all users easily complete their own analyses and share their results with others."

Follett also uses ADP Vantage HCM to provide its managers and employees with HR and payroll services, such as benefits enrollment, recruiting and talent management, screening and selection services, electronic I-9 compliance screening, and tax credit services. The automated self-service nature of Vantage helps save Follett managers time and its onboarding capabilities allow leaders to deliver a consistent message to employees, while integrating them more quickly into Follett's culture. Together, these solutions are helping the company's HR team become a more strategic partner to the company's business leaders.

"ADP simplified reporting has provided our practitioners with direct, quick and easy access to all of our ADP Vantage data," said Kirkpatrick. "Using the two solutions together has made ADP Vantage an even more robust and intuitive self-service business tool.

"In addition, each year when school starts, our retail stores hire nearly 20,000 temporary employees to staff the stores during peak sales periods," Kirkpatrick continued. "The workforce for one store could double or triple in a very short time.
