Making Time Tracking Work for the Frontline: Lessons from SRS Distribution

In this exclusive webinar, leaders from SRS Distribution, Workday, and OLOID came together to discuss how one of the fastest-growing building products distributors in North America transformed its frontline time tracking.

With 760+ locations and 11,000+ employees, SRS needed a solution that could keep up with rapid growth while meeting California’s strict wage and hour regulations. Together with OLOID and Workday, they rolled out a mobile-first, shared-device solution that improves compliance, boosts efficiency, and enhances the employee experience.

Key Insights from the Webinar

• The scale of the challenge: With 1.8 billion frontline workers worldwide, many logging into systems 10–70 times per shift, the need for seamless, efficient time tracking has never been greater.
• Compliance as a catalyst: California’s strict wage and hour regulations created an urgent requirement for a reliable, automated solution that ensures accuracy and audit readiness.
• Smart vendor criteria: SRS prioritized solutions that are mobile-first, support shared devices, integrate natively with Workday, provide real-time visibility, and are simple for employees to use.
• Phased rollout approach: The initiative began with a pilot across three tech-savvy branches, paving the way for a full-scale deployment to 100+ California locations.
• Mobility at the core: A truck-based mobile kiosk allows drivers to clock in directly from their vehicles, removing unnecessary friction and improving daily workflows.
• Future-ready vision: Plans are already in motion for unified time collection, deeper Workday scheduling integration, expansion into Canadian payroll, and the use of AI agents to optimize workforce management.
  

Benefits Realized

• Operational efficiency: Managers spend less time correcting timesheets, and payroll teams no longer chase down missed punches, resulting in faster, smoother payroll cycles.
• Stronger compliance: Automated alerts for meal and rest breaks, proactive overtime monitoring, and built-in audit trails provide confidence in meeting California’s strict labor requirements.‍
• Better employee experience: A streamlined login process, shared-device access, and real-time visibility into hours worked give employees greater control and reduce daily friction.
