Minnesota Diversified Industries
Uses UltiPro to Drive Business Value, Adapt to Changing Conditions
- Ultimate’s smooth and well-organized launch process enabled MDI to run its first live payroll on UltiPro with no errors
- The combining of MDI’s five databases into one has saved headcount and hundreds of hours previously spent manually compiling data
- Accurate, real-time reporting from UltiPro Business Intelligence enables the organization to analyze and make the staffing adjustments needed to meet government contract requirements
Minnesota Diversified Industries (MDI) is a non-profit social enterprise that exists to serve people with disabilities by offering inclusive employment opportunities and services. MDI provides competitively priced plastic products, medical-product services, and a variety of assembly, production, and packaging services for the United States Postal Service and commercial customers. MDI employs people at one manufacturing and three assembly plants in Minnesota and currently has about 540 employees and contract labor.
Prior to UltiPro, the company managed its human capital through five separate databases, including HR, payroll, timekeeping, and tracking employee disability data. As a result, new entries and changes required manual updates in five locations. This platform for HCM generated many paper-heavy processes, as well as payroll inaccuracies.
As a non-profit manufacturer, MDI participates in USPS government contracts that require detailed reporting on a quarterly basis. Because the company needed to pull information from five databases, three separate departments (IT, Employment Services and Human Resources) worked together to generate reports. These teams would spend a significant amount of time each quarter (200+ hours) compiling required reports and reviewing them for accuracy.
• Investment of time by MDI and UltiPro Launch team led to a successful first live payroll and open enrollment.
• UltiPro Launch team enabled MDI to stay focused on running the business while Ultimate oversaw the launch calendar progress.
• Merging of databases has enabled fast, accurate reporting.
• MDI leadership is able to take action on key business metrics.
