Retailer Cuts Overtime Costs by 70% with Attendance on Demand, a Time Tracking Software as a Service

(August 6, 2009) Farmington Hills, Michigan — Attendance on Demand employee time and attendance service helped a rental equipment company reduce overtime by 70%. RentalMax, the largest general equipment rental chain in Chicago, Illinois, uses the time tracking Software as a Service (SaaS) to eliminate unnecessary overtime throughout multiple retail locations. Chicago-based Midwest Time Recorder implemented the solution.

Attendance on Demand tracks employee labor and wage data for nearly 100 hourly employees located in 10 stores securely over the web, and streamlines what was once a manually intensive process.

In today’s challenging economy, RentalMax appreciated that there is no software to buy, no upfront investment in licenses, no servers or hardware, and no need for costly maintenance. Instead, Attendance on Demand is available via a cost effective per employee subscription fee.

“We’re confident that overtime is lower than it has ever been in 12 years of operations” said Karen Laccone, RentalMax HR Manager. “That’s because we see up-to-the-minute labor costs by location, and supervisors take any action needed to reduce unnecessary overtime.”
