J.J. Taylor Companies replaced paper-based HR processes with Epicor HCM to centralize employee data, eliminate duplicate entry, and integrate with ADP payroll and inventory systems. The implementation reduced payroll processing staff from two to one, added automated alerts for driver certifications and compliance dates, and enabled self-service system maintenance. The distributor reports immediate ROI through labor savings and improved data accuracy across Florida and Minnesota operations.
