RESULTS
The Viewpoint solutions that ACHD implemented have significantly
helped the district streamline its processes and save considerable
overhead in terms of labor and paperwork.
"We're saving two full days or 16 hours of accounting time every
two weeks," Cooney said. "All the clerks that were involved are
excited. They've told me, 'Now I don't get behind and spend the
next two weeks catching up, just to get behind again.'"
Cooney noted that having time automatically directed into Vista
and reviewed by batch has been hugely important to accuracy and
consistency. ACHD also leveraged the Viewpoint Field Management
to create a safety net, retaining timesheet entries for set amounts
of time. That way, if a Vista payroll batch is accidentally deleted or
otherwise compromised — something that the district has had to
deal with in the past — it can be reimported from the Viewpoint
portal. This, Cooney said, provides even more peace of mind.
"The Viewpoint products do it all, whether it's office or crew, and
do a really great job." Cooney said. "We now have easy, intuitive
solutions that are web-based so it's a familiar interface for users.
This really was a dream come true for us."
If I'd been able
to design the
solution myself,
I couldn't have
done any
better.
