Preco’s Business Challenge:
To accurately and efficiently track time
and make employees accountable for
their daily activity.
Preco was tracking labor on jobs manually. The
job cards were collected and data was entered
into their ERP and Payroll Systems. The data
entry process alone took 40 hours each week.

15. Preactor riteTIME Labor Data Collection
Solution: riteTIME Labor Data Collection
Result: All labor hours are accurately tracked,
information is accessible, and employees are
accountable for their time.
riteTIME allows employees to log into jobs by
simply scanning their badge and a barcoded job
traveler. It’s quick, easy, and the information is
accurately recorded. With riteTIME, Preco now
saves at least 40 hours each week by reducing data
entry time.
Previously, they used multiple systems to capture all of the
required data to help them manage their day-to-day operations.
Now they enter all time-related information into one system:
riteTIME.

18. Preactor riteTIME Labor Data Collection
Litania’s Business Challenge:
ERP labor data collection option is time consuming
and inflexible.
Litania wanted to implement a bonus program for direct
laborers based on efficiency (meeting standard rates) and
applied time (utilization), among other things. The labor data
collection option in Fourth Shift did not allow measuring of
efficiency until the job was complete and couldn’t measure
individual efficiency.
Manual entry was done by supervisors because of complexity
which was not the best use of supervisor time and made it
difficult to be timely.

- Labor util from 74 to 96%
- Measured employee productivity
- Implemented bonus program
