O'Connor Contracting ## “Trayd is a newer player in the market, but they have been excellent so far. I can honestly say I have never had better customer service with any company I have ever dealt with.” #### Adam Burrows Controller, M. O’Connor Contracting ### Challenge Payroll and reporting placed a substantial burden on MOCC’s Controller, Adam Burrows. Each week, 12–16 hours were spent reconciling ADP Run’s disconnected time-tracking module, performing manual prevailing wage adjustments, and generating certified payroll reports. These processes were inefficient, error-prone, and left limited time for financial planning. With Sage Intacct adoption underway, MOCC also needed a system that would integrate smoothly with ERP data. ### Solution MOCC implemented Trayd, a payroll and compliance platform designed for construction and specialty contractors. Key capabilities included: - Automated prevailing wage calculations and overrides - Ease of use for project based field employees - Certified payroll reporting generated instantly and accurately - Real-time labor visibility by project and cost code - Flexible payroll runs to support weekly pay cycles (removed bi-weekly) - ERP-ready data for a seamless transition to Sage Intacct ### Results The impact of Trayd was immediate and measurable: - Weekly payroll workload reduced from **12–16 hours to under 2 hours** - Certified payroll reports produced automatically, minimizing compliance risk - Real-time labor data improved oversight of job costs - Consolidated back-office system prepared MOCC for future ERP integration ## The all-in-one construction back office operating system.
