Constellis provides end-to-end risk management and comprehensive security solutions to safeguard people and infrastructure globally. In 2018, Constellis acquired several organizations, highlighting the necessity for standardization and homogenization. Learn how Constellis partnered with ADP® to seamlessly integrate acquired companies into one system, automate manual processes and optimize HR efficiency.

What I enjoy most about working with ADP is that they always listen — and it doesn’t matter who at ADP. Every single person I talk to there is 100% engaged and willing to help. My payroll is their payroll. My new hire is their new hire. We are in the trenches every single day together. They really want to make our process better and more efficient. They are invested in us.

Challenges

  • Time-consuming manual processes.
  • Inefficient workflows.

How ADP helped

  • Self-service options provided employees direct access to personal information, direct deposit details and tax forms – eliminating the need for HR involvement, saving a lot of time responding to inquiries.
  • The tax registration module provides a convenient method to apply for new jurisdictions online, expediting the process and avoiding penalties and fines associated with delayed manual filings.

Rapid growth spurs the need for automation

Like many rapidly expanding organizations, the HR team at Constellis recognized the need to streamline operations to quickly and effectively integrate acquired companies. Manual processes were time-consuming and left too much room for error. To address this, Constellis partnered with ADP to re-evaluate processes and build efficiency. Michelle Smith, Vice President of Human Resources at Constellis, recalls, “We made several acquisitions over a 12-18 month period and during that time, it was all about standardization. We had to get employees into a system and we had to ensure that they were paid. That was our number one priority.”

Process optimization drives efficiency

To accommodate its rapid growth from a few thousand to over 10,000 employees, Constellis sought a more agile approach. They collaborated with ADP to create more efficient workflows and improve processes across the board. By utilizing the tax registration module, Constellis can now conveniently apply for new jurisdictions online, expediting the process and avoiding penalties and fines associated with delayed manual filings. Plus, Constellis is now 100% paperless with tax forms, further optimizing efficiency.

Service is the differentiator

Choosing a payroll and HR system of record is a big decision, and when software platforms appear to offer similar solutions, organizations are often left wondering which option to choose. ADP prides itself on providing best-of-breed technology, but its service and support model is what really stands out for Constellis. The ADP and Constellis teams meet regularly to help Constellis achieve its goals.

On winning the Agility at Work Award

The Agility at Work Award recognizes an organization that has shown remarkable agility in the dynamic world of work, leading to enhanced efficiencies, optimal resource allocation and a thriving workforce. Constellis was selected for its continued commitment to driving HR optimization and building efficiency.

“We partnered up with ADP and went through an optimization looking at what we’re doing in the system, what we’re utilizing, what we were not. I think Constellis won the Agility at Work Award because we utilize the system to the fullest and we’re always looking for improvement,” adds Nancy Sanchez, Senior Director, HRIS.
