Streamlining of processes, and reporting is a huge improvement over the previous provider.

We have encountered deployment issues; there were some tax entities that were not set up, even though they were in the activation kit.

Initial setup was complex due to our multitude of locations, service types and union. There have been dramatic changes in how implementation is now done.
Initial setup of recruitment and onboarding were straightforward and flawless.
What about the implementation team?
An Ultipro team implemented it.
Onboarding was done by a vendor and their expertise was excellent.
What was our ROI?

- Employee engagement
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
BI is great and licensing meets our needs; as a non-profit, the pricing is steep and constantly needs to be defended.

Before choosing this product, we also evaluated ICIMS and ADP.
What other advice do I have?
Ultimate is quite innovative and in recent years; seem to be looking for products that are far beyond CORE.

UTA assists our plants with keeping time and making sure our employees get paid timely and accurately.
What is most valuable?
UTA assists our plants with keeping time and making sure our employees get paid timely and accurately. With competition out there for our employees, this is of high importance so we retain them and they don't talk Unions.
How has it helped my organization?
With the time and attendance report our supervisors can easily see who is in the building and who is not. This can be dumped into excel for easy tracking.
What needs improvement?
We would love to see more mobile options. But, it sounds like this is coming within the next 6 months.
For how long have I used the solution?
Our company went live a year ago...but I just started with them in January.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Our deployment had a lot of issues...but with my few months at the company, I am finding these are self inflicted. They didn't have an HRIS specialist and so every plant kinda picked and chose how they wanted the system to look. Making it a mess and full of junk. We are working on standardizing now and this will improve how the system performs for us.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Not that I know of.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Not that I know of

Technical Support:10 - Very attentive

I came from Workday....I changed because I changed companies.
