LS Industries is a family-owned business specializing in the design and manufacture of superior metal cleaning equipment, products, and cleaning services for manufacturers. For over 40 years, LS Industries has led the surface preparation market, developing reliable automated cleaning processes that streamline manufacturing operations across aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, pipe and tubing, metal fabrication, and other industries.
With a small family team and streamlined operations, LS Industries required a payroll system that would save time and provide easy access to data across their entire staff. The search for a new solution began when their old payroll software was retired.
The company sought a solution that would:
"Our prior software, Abra, was so unforgiving. But with Scissortail, when there's a mistake in payroll processing, we can easily fix it," says Debra Sparks, who handles the company's payroll.
Through the implementation of Scissortail HCM, CS3 Technology provided LS Industries with payroll software that offers convenient automations for managing a small but complex workforce. The system has integrated smoothly with their existing processes, enabling their two-person accounting team to tackle payroll needs quickly and efficiently.
"We rolled out our new payroll program during the holiday season and end-of-year planning, which of course created a time crunch. Yet even with so much going on, CS3's implementation made everything go well. Now we have a system we're thrilled with," says Joanna Sawyer, who serves as Controller for the company.
Joanna and Debra recognized the company would benefit from easy access to cloud-based payroll information such as W2s and time trackers on mobile phones, as their staff is in the field serving customers daily. Scissortail's adaptability has simplified that process for employees while reducing the burden on managers.
"We've enjoyed working with everyone there and appreciate the quick responses we get to our questions," says Joanna.
With Scissortail HCM, the LS Industries team is working smarter, not harder, effectively serving the needs of employees as they continue to provide top-notch service to clients.
