National Wholesaler Enhances Human Capital Management with UltiPro® Workplace

April 01, 2009

Weston, FL, April 1, 2009 — Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, today announced that Perfect 10 Satellite Distributing, a wholesale provider of satellite television accessories, is maximizing the effectiveness of its HR programs with UltiPro Workplace’s Web-based human capital management (HCM) functionality.

Since going live in August 2008, Perfect 10 has improved efficiencies, automated manual processes, and enhanced service to employees with UltiPro’s employee self-service, recruitment, and benefits enrollment features.

“Before UltiPro Workplace, our data was in multiple solutions and spreadsheets, and reporting was challenging, to say the least. My goal with UltiPro was to consolidate our employee data into one solution so we could alleviate the need for duplicate entry, improve data reliability, and gain access to strategic workforce reporting,” said Cindy Kitchens, vice president of human resources for Perfect 10. “Prior to UltiPro, reliable business intelligence reporting really wasn’t possible. UltiPro has been a real ‘wow’ experience for us. Supervisors can generate many reports on their own, and I can meet HR’s requirements for metrics as well as the reporting needs of our executive team.”

According to Kitchens, executives and managers involved in recruitment also have been very pleased with UltiPro’s flexible recruiting tools. With the company’s previous providers, the wholesaler did not have an online job portal or an easy way to manage the workflow involved in searching for candidates and hiring new employees. Using UltiPro, candidates can submit resumes online and they are routed to managers who can view them immediately.

“Executives and supervisors really appreciate having access to candidate data instantly so they can fill open positions as rapidly as possible,” said Kitchens. “UltiPro Workplace has improved our time-to-hire and ensures that everyone who needs to be involved in hiring is alerted right away. The solution is helping HR communicate more effectively with our managers, especially those in the field.”

Communication can be a struggle with organizations that have employees in multiple offices. Before UltiPro, Perfect 10 had difficulty communicating with associates who are not on site or who travel often. Now employees see company and HR information automatically when they log on to view their paycheck details.

“UltiPro has made huge improvements in our ability to share information with our dispersed workforce,” said Kitchens. “Employees can read company news, see employment anniversaries and birthdays, or even print forms as they need them. We see the UltiPro portal as an invaluable communications tool.”

“UltiPro Workplace can help growing businesses make the most of their human resource teams by giving them the tools to operate efficiently and add maximum value,” said Chris Phenicie, senior vice president of sales for UltiPro Workplace. “Perfect 10 is doing an excellent job of leveraging UltiPro’s broad range of HR functionality to benefit the entire enterprise.”
