Decentralized Payroll Processing

The Problem

A national food processing company with multiple locations was looking for a method to streamline their decentralized payroll processing.  Each location only employs between 125 and 300 people and they are paid on a weekly basis.  But the annual time and cost associated with the current method of payroll was relatively high and of concern to management.  Between 80 and 180 man-hours, depending on the location, with an estimated annual expense ranging from $1,900 to $4,500 was spent each year to process payroll. 

 As with any business, every cost improvement, no matter how small, improves the overall health of the company.  This organization was no different!

 Due to the weekly payroll and the physical location of some of the facilities, a centralized method was not an option. A pressure seal system at each plant appeared to be a natural fit.

The Solution

The PSMailers ISM was introduced to the customer as the answer to their payroll woes.  Even the smallest of operations were able to achieve a return on investment in two years or less. On average, across the entire network of food processing plants, the company saved approximately 56% (125 man-hours and $1,800) each year by switching to a PSMailers system.

Organizations with as few as 6,500* documents per year can cost justify a PSMailers system, on average, in two years or less.

* Many factors can influence how many documents are required to achieve an ROI of two years.  These include the current processing method, processing speed, associated wages, costs of current documents and envelopes as well as other factors specific to individual customers.  For a complete analysis for your location, use the PSMailers cost justification worksheet available from Forms Management, Inc.
