How a group of companies with 700 employees uses 123onsite

The HERING Group, a leading family business with 680 employees, has reached a significant milestone: the digital Time tracking. The introduction of the 123onsite software in January 2024 revolutionized the tedious and error-prone process of manual Time tracking

The path to digitalization: Why 123onsite?

The decision in favor of 123onsite was made after a six-month test phase with representatives from all divisions of the HERING Group. In addition to the user-friendly interface, the simple connection of 123onsite to existing systems, which ensures a smooth flow of data, was a convincing factor. Another solution from the software company NEVARIS, NEVARIS Finance, was already the leading ERP system in the company.

 

Step by step to a new software partner

“123onsite is a comprehensive construction management solution. To familiarize our employees with the product, we chose Feature for the launch: Time tracking.”, explains Lothar Nörtershäuser, responsible for digitalization projects at HERING Sanikonzept.

In the past vs. today: manual typing in Excel has come to an end

Before the introduction, working hours were recorded in timesheets, copied together in Excel spreadsheets and finally entered into Nevaris Finance. With 123onsite, the time is now recorded once, checked and forwarded directly to payroll accounting or controlling. This has minimized the source of errors and significantly reduced the manual effort. Lohne used to be posted to the corresponding project cost centers with a delay of up to 20 days, but today this period has been at least halved.

 

Challenge: Mapping different time models within the corporate group

The HERING Group has various divisions ranging from the precast plant to railroad construction. Various working time models and company agreements were to be mapped in 123onsite. “That has been achieved. When new employees join, they are in the system in just a few minutes,” reports Christian Winkler, Head of Process and Digitalization Management.

Efficient use by all employees

The rapid acceptance of the new technology is particularly impressive. “We trained our service technicians in an hour and they immediately started recording their first times – completely intuitively,” reports Nörtershäuser. In the meantime, 350 of the 680 employees are already recording their times in 123onsite and the number is steadily increasing.

The introduction was supported by a permanent consultant from 123onsite. “The support was excellent. Our questions were always answered quickly,” emphasizes Nörtershäuser. “I recommend the combination of NEVARIS Finance and 123onsite without reservation,” adds Christian Winkler.
