Rapidly Expanding Healthcare Program Administrator Selects UltiPro® Workplace to Manage Growth
WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI - News), a leading provider of unified human capital management SaaS solutions for global businesses, announced today that Homeland HealthCare, Inc., one of the fastest growing companies in Texas, has selected UltiPro Workplace to help the company better manage continued expansion, increase HR efficiencies, and leverage real-time business intelligence.
Recently added to Inc. Magazine's 500 Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S., Homeland HealthCare, Inc. is a program administrator that markets supplemental, limited benefit health insurance plans for self-employed individuals, contractors, and entrepreneurs. For the last few years during its growth, Homeland HealthCare, Inc. has been manually handling its HR as well as struggling with access to accurate employee information.
“Our employee base has grown tremendously, and we expect even more growth over the next year. Because we have so many manual HR processes, it has been virtually impossible for us to handle the increased workload. Our HR processes are too labor-intensive, and there is just too much potential for errors and inconsistencies,” said Andrea Rutherford, HR generalist at Homeland HealthCare, Inc.
Wanting to drive efficiencies by deploying a cloud platform with end-to-end HCM functionality, Homeland HealthCare, Inc. selected the UltiPro solution in May 2011. With UltiPro’s unified capabilities, the organization will be able to consolidate HCM data into a single solution to deliver precise and complete real-time workforce analytics to company decision makers.
“In the past, we’ve had to pull a mass of data together from many sources for reporting, and then we spent a lot of time deciphering what we found,” said Rutherford. “UltiPro will be a quantum leap for us. We will be able to streamline all areas of our HCM — HR, payroll, time management, recruitment, and performance management — so we can get clear, up-to-date employee data and instant visibility. We’re very excited about moving our capabilities to the next level to meet our company’s growth.”
With UltiPro, employees at Homeland HealthCare, Inc. will have instant, 24-7 access to their individual information, such as pay, benefits, and other HR details — substantially reducing day-to-day inquiries to the HR and payroll teams and freeing these teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
“We’re looking forward to reducing the time and effort we invest in tactical processes. UltiPro can deliver one centralized environment for our HR, payroll, and recruitment processes, and we will have better and faster access to information for strategic decision-making,” said Rutherford. “Other business advantages are that we will have greater scalability to meet future shifts and growth while becoming the true ‘green’ company that we strive to be.”
“UltiPro not only provides customers with the right foundation to manage every aspect of HR, payroll, and talent management, it also gives businesses the tools to transform their approach to managing people,” said Chris Phenicie, chief sales officer of UltiPro Workplace. “Employee data is synced across all areas of the company, strategic business intelligence is available for immediate delivery, and managers have visibility into crucial team details — promoting accountability and collaboration throughout the organization. For companies that are experiencing exponential employee growth like Homeland HealthCare, Inc., UltiPro is a perfect fit — a powerful HCM platform that reduces complexities and increases business agility.”
