Longtime Viewpoint clients, KS Industries had been using Vista as its enterprise resource planning (ERP)
platform for years and sent Silberberg to Viewpoint's Collaborate User Conference for additional product
training. There, he was introduced to a number of solutions that provided easy-to-use browser interfaces
with Vista to streamline processes and better connect the office and field as his team had been seeking.
"I was just thinking to myself, 'this is a no-brainer,'" Silberberg said, who presented the proposed solutions
to senior management after further vetting.
KS Industries adopted Viewpoint HR Management and Viewpoint Field Management solutions to automate
their payroll and employee management processes as well as streamline work between the office and
field for purchase orders, invoices, paid time off and more.
And, since all Viewpoint modules feed directly into Vista, KS Industries is able to pull information in the
office directly from workers in the field — especially valuable in regard to contract workers or creative
payment arrangements when renting hours from welders.
"What the Viewpoint products did for us is actually automate that process" Ramirez said." The portal pulls
that into payroll and creates an invoice for the welders? The welders go out to the portal, they make sure
that their time is right because they know what they worked and what they didn't, they approve it, and
that feeds directly into the AP. Our guys get paid weekly now, and they're happy."
