We chatted with Payroll Officer Cherry and Construction Manager Lucas Tabacco to find out more about the challenges SG Formwork faced that led them to streamline their operations and improve efficiency with our construction management software.
SG Formwork was encountering significant challenges due to the limitations of manual paperwork, which proved to be unscalable for its large workforce. The situation became critical when they realised their inability to track employees and subcontractors effectively across multiple extensive (and expensive!) projects and timesheets.
Before implementing Neo Intelligence, SG Formwork relied on a manual payroll processing system. This manual approach was time-consuming, prone to errors, and required significant effort from the payroll officers. Processing the payroll for a large workforce took around one full day, which could have been more efficient and less resource-intensive.
“When we got bigger, it became impossible to maintain accuracy for myself and our team and accounts and payroll. We had to stop and breathe and see what we could do to make it more efficient and accurate.” Lucas Tabacco, Construction Manager from SG Formwork
Other problems the team faced with manual documentation were:
To overcome these challenges, SG Formwork decided to adopt Neo Intelligence. By implementing our construction and project management platform, we collaborated to solve their pain points with the following solutions:
“Our biggest risk is labour cost and time. Implementing Neo allows us to identify how many employees we have and where they are allocated, which translates to costs. Saving time and money on labour allocation is the biggest benefit.” Lucas Tobacco, Construction Manager from SG Formwork
With Neo Intelligence, they have fully automated the payroll processing system, eliminating the need for manual calculations and data entry.
“With Neo Intelligence, it only takes me to do the work of two people! I’m doing it all for 233 employees and processing it for around three hours, which saves an entire day of processing and an entire person as a resource!” – Cherry, Payroll Officer at SG Formwork.
We asked Cherry and Lucas which Neo Intelligence features had provided the most significant business impact for SG Formwork :
“Neo Intelligence is 100% worth the journey that we’ve decided to undertake not only on-site but with payroll; it’s made the transition very smooth and mitigates many errors. This has dramatically improved our payroll process!” – Cherry, Payroll Officer at SG Formwork.
