From In-House Payroll to Streamlined HR Operations: How PS Wholesale Floors Gained Efficiency with Netchex

PS Wholesale Floors is a production and manufacturing company based in Louisiana. With a workforce of nearly 200 employees, the organization operates with a lean HR team responsible for managing the full employee lifecycle.

Rayna Kennedy, Manager of Human Resources, oversees both operational and strategic HR functions, including employee relations, compliance with FMLA and ADA, coordination with insurance carriers, and leadership development.

With a small team handling a wide scope of responsibilities, efficiency across payroll, onboarding, and reporting plays a critical role in day-to-day operations.

Before Netchex, payroll was managed internally through RFMS, a flooring-specific system with payroll capabilities.

While functional, the process required more time and manual effort, particularly when it came to completing payroll and handling tax-related responsibilities.

At the same time, the HR team was responsible for far more than payroll. With a small department overseeing compliance, employee relations, and onboarding, time spent on payroll limited capacity in other areas.

PS Wholesale Floors implemented Netchex to move payroll and HR processes into a more dedicated system.

One of the most immediate changes was the shift in payroll processing and tax management. By moving these responsibilities into the platform, the team reduced manual effort and simplified day-to-day execution.

Over time, additional tools have supported broader HR operations.

As the platform evolved, improvements in onboarding and navigation made it easier for the HR team to manage employee processes and access information when needed. 

Since implementing Netchex, PS Wholesale Floors has seen meaningful improvements in efficiency across several areas.

Payroll requires less time to complete, and tax filing is no longer handled internally.

Onboarding has become more streamlined with the use of NetGuide and NetRecruiter, helping the team manage new hires more efficiently.

Reporting tools have also made it easier to work with data and support decision-making.

“The onboarding process has been a major improvement over time. The updated search functionality has also made navigation much smoother.” – Rayna Kennedy, Manager of Human Resources

Employees also benefit from additional features, including coordination with Rain.

Support plays an ongoing role in the team’s experience with Netchex.

“My Account Manager has been excellent—very responsive and easy to work with. She’s easy to speak with, and I truly feel she operates as our advocate.” – Rayna Kennedy, Manager of Human Resources

That level of responsiveness helps the HR team continue to manage their responsibilities with confidence.

For PS Wholesale Floors, moving to Netchex reduced the time spent on payroll, eliminated tax filing, and streamlined onboarding and reporting, freeing up a small HR team to focus on employee support, compliance, and day-to-day operations.

With less time spent on payroll and tax-related tasks, and better tools for onboarding and reporting, the team is better positioned to manage both immediate needs and ongoing priorities.

“I’d say let Netchex speak for itself.” – Rayna Kennedy, Manager of Human Resources
