Payroll teams manage union requirements, certified payroll, prevailing wages, and multi-state compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project teams need accurate labor data to understand job performance. And finance teams are expected to tie all of it together quickly enough to support smarter business decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for many contractors, workforce and financial data still live in disconnected systems. Payroll sits in one platform. HR lives somewhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time tracking and job cost data move through spreadsheets or manual processes. And accounting teams are left piecing together the full picture after the fact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When workforce data is separated from project and financial data, it becomes harder to understand labor costs, improve payroll accuracy, forecast profitability, and proactively manage project performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Deloitte\u2019s Human Capital Trends research, nearly 75% of organizations say improving how workforce data supports decision-making is now a critical priority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this  article we&#8217;ll look at how Sage HCM addresses these challenges, along with a client case study to give its features and benefits a real life context.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"key-takeaways\" class=\"wp-block-sage-key-takeaways\"><div class=\"sage-key-takeaways__inner\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Disconnected workforce and financial systems<\/strong> create significant operational challenges for construction companies, including payroll errors, manual reconciliation, and limited labor cost visibility. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sage HCM integrates HR, payroll, time, and talent workflows<\/strong> in one platform, connecting directly to Sage Intacct Construction, Sage 300 CRE, and Sage 100 Contractor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connected workforce and financial data<\/strong> helps construction businesses improve labor cost tracking, project profitability forecasting, and overall business decision-making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PRG Group reduced manual payroll processing<\/strong> from a three-day outsourced effort each cycle to a streamlined, integrated workflow, freeing teams to focus on higher-value work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-here-s-what-we-ll-cover\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll cover:<\/h3>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><ul><li><a href=\"#h-what-is-sage-hcm\" data-level=\"2\">What is Sage HCM?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-breaking-down-silos-between-payroll-operations-and-finance\" data-level=\"2\">Breaking down silos between payroll, operations, and finance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-prg-group-a-case-study\" data-level=\"2\">PRG Group: A case study<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-sage-hcm-built-for-the-future-of-construction\" data-level=\"2\">Sage HCM: Built for the future of construction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-sage-hcm\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Sage HCM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sage HCM is a modern human capital management solution that brings HR, payroll, time, and talent workflows together in one connected system. Designed for organizations with more complex operational needs, including multi-entity operations and multi-jurisdiction payroll, Sage HCM helps businesses gain a clearer view of workforce costs and how they impact performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the construction industry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-construction\/payroll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage HCM<\/a> supports union rules, certified payroll, and prevailing wage requirements, while linking labor data directly to project financials, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-business-cloud\/intacct\/product-capabilities\/extended-capabilities\/construction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Intacct Construction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/products\/sage-300-construction-and-real-estate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage 300 CRE<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/products\/sage-100-contractor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage 100 Contractor<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-breaking-down-silos-between-payroll-operations-and-finance-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breaking down silos between payroll, operations, and finance<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor many construction businesses, labor costs are one of the biggest drivers of project performance, but payroll, HR and finance data often sit in separate systems,\u201d explained Dustin Stephens, CEO, Alliance Solutions Group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBringing these together gives customers a clearer view of labor costs, improves payroll accuracy and helps them make better decisions at both project and business level. This gives customers stronger control over project performance and supports more predictable, profitable outcomes.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For companies like PRG Group, that shift from disconnected systems to connected workforce and financial data is already making a meaningful difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-prg-group-a-case-study\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRG Group: A case study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PRG Group is a growing contractor based in Montana, managing luxury residential, commercial, civil, and concrete operations across multiple entities and project types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the company grew, disconnected systems created increasing operational challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had siloed solutions everywhere,\u201d said Amanda King Dalman, Director of Technology and Training. \u201cYou find yourself cracking open Excel, and then you&#8217;re opening yourself up to manual entry errors, formula errors, and version control problems.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payroll and job cost allocations were especially time-consuming. Manual processes required extensive reconciliation work every payroll cycle, creating delays and increasing the risk of inaccuracies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had one outsourced accounting person working around the clock for three days every payroll cycle,\u201d Amanda explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PRG Group knew it needed a more connected approach. The company implemented Sage Intacct Construction alongside Sage HCM to create a streamlined, integrated technology foundation across the business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-connecting-labor-data-directly-to-project-financials-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connecting labor data directly to project financials<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Amanda, the value of Sage HCM goes far beyond payroll processing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration between Sage HCM and Sage Intacct Construction helps connect workforce data directly to project financials, improving visibility into labor costs, job profitability, and business performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just felt like it was the best fit for our business,\u201d Amanda said. \u201cWe weren&#8217;t going to have the workarounds we had experienced in the past with disconnected systems.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, PRG Group manages multi-entity financials, payroll, project contracts, budgets, job costing, purchase orders, and subcontract management through Sage solutions designed specifically for construction workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Sage Intacct Construction and Sage HCM together, the result is less manual work, better visibility, and more confidence in the data driving business decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also gained far more accurate visibility into labor costs within project budgets \u2014 an area that had previously been difficult to track. \u201cHaving that directly in our budget is so valuable,\u201d Amanda explained. \u201cWe can actually understand, \u2018Hey, this is how much the labor is costing.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That visibility helps PRG Group make smarter decisions around forecasting, estimating, profitability, and workforce planning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-from-reactive-to-proactive-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">From reactive to proactive&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest changes for PRG Group has been the ability to shift accounting and operations teams away from reactive work and toward more strategic decision making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur accounting team has been able to spend more time on forecasting, budgeting, and making smarter decisions about the business rather than reacting,\u201d Amanda shared. \u201cWe&#8217;re really striving to be proactive versus reactive.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With connected workforce and financial data, the company can now better understand labor costs, improve payroll accuracy, and reduce the manual effort previously required to reconcile data between systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time savings alone have been significant. PRG Group also eliminated the need for outsourced accounting support during payroll processing and gave internal teams more time to focus on higher-value work that supports profitability and project performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s all interconnected,\u201d Amanda said. \u201cThe time drives the efficiency, drives the transparency, and drives the accuracy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/success-stories\/the-prg-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
