Weston, FL, March 25, 2009 — Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, today announced that Safelite AutoGlass®, the nation’s leading provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services, has chosen UltiPro for its human resources, recruitment, and performance management solution.
Since it started using a payroll service bureau’s solution several years ago to manage human resources information, Safelite expanded and grew its workforce dramatically. Now, with close to 8,000 employees to manage, the HR team needed a more sophisticated HR solution with strategic talent management tools and real-time reporting and analytics. The company selected UltiPro in January 2009 for its comprehensive HR feature set, reporting capabilities, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model.
“We have been using a solution that required a great deal of customization, but still required us to compile reports manually and use paper for many employee transactions,” said Donna Gibson, senior manager of compensation and benefits at Belron® US, the parent company of Safelite AutoGlass. “When we selected UltiPro, we were looking for more functionality, better performance, and more automation than our previous solution. With its SaaS model and its broad range of strategic human resource tools, Ultimate was a very good fit for us.”
Because Safelite had been using an in-house solution for HR, the company’s IT team needed to devote resources to support it. Now Ultimate Software will manage the hardware and software so Safelite’s IT team will be able to focus on other projects, while HR will have the tools it needs to build efficiencies, operate more strategically, and deliver information to employees over the Internet.
Considering Ultimate’s numerous awards for SaaS and customer service, Gibson and the decision-making team were confident that Ultimate’s service model was the right choice for Safelite.
“One decision driver for us was based on our personal experiences with Ultimate’s associates and its reputation for quality customer service,” said Gibson. “We look forward to working with a vendor who has both superior solutions and service.”
“Ultimate offers cost-effective, scalable solutions for large businesses that want powerful HR business functionality, but do not want to tap their own internal resources to maintain it,” said Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate Software. “Our complete HCM solution can handle HR throughout the employee life cycle, and we look forward to helping Safelite enhance its employee management to stay competitive.”
