Stone Fabrication Industry Case Study
— Laurie K., HR & Nextep Client“When you’re dealing with a company that’s not willing to just outright show you where your money’s going, it makes it harder to trust that they really have your best interest at heart… I feel like I’m already seeing everything more clearly.”
The Challenge
Laurie runs daily operations at a tight-knit Houston, Texas stone company where the employees feel like family. Out of nowhere, their largest customer demanded a massive rate cut, putting the company’s revenue at risk. Facing the possibility of having to let people go, Laurie audited every business expense.
That was when she took a hard look at their big-box PEO. For nine years, the relationship was frustrating. Their software was a maze, and calling for help meant getting trapped in phone loops, never speaking to their assigned representative. Worst, the PEO bundled billing, refusing to show where the money was going.
The Nextep Solution
When Nextep sat down with Laurie, we brought a transparent, itemized cost breakdown. The clarity was shocking. She instantly realized how much money they could have been saving.
Moving away from a massive PEO felt terrifying; Laurie remembered her original onboarding taking weeks of draining meetings. Nextep changed that completely. Our team handled the transition smoothly, even stepping in to assist their Spanish-speaking crew members.
Today, Laurie runs her payroll with total clarity. The reporting is easy to navigate, the invoices are fully itemized, and she finally has a real human partner who answers her emails immediately.
