Cooper Aerobics Gets Fit With PDS' Vista HRMS

Blue Bell, PA - PDS, a leading developer of web-based human resource, benefits and payroll systems, recently announced that Cooper Aerobics, a health and wellness corporation based in Dallas, Texas, has implemented its Vista HRMS (human resource management system). Leveraging the integrated features of PDS' Vista HRMS, Cooper Aerobics has streamlined its human resource, payroll and benefits operations.

The Cooper Aerobics Center is a 30-acre facility in Dallas, which includes The Cooper Institute and 10 other integrated health and wellness companies. More than 650 employees work at the Dallas location and at the company's center in McKinney, Texas.

"Our previous system created bottlenecks for most of our processes from recruiting and reporting to benefits and payroll," said Mia Chessmore, recruiting and employee relations director at Cooper Aerobics. "We needed a fully integrated system to maximize the value of our HR and payroll departments and after evaluating numerous products, we found that Vista HRMS offered the features and functionality we needed as well as a predictable cost model."

Chessmore added, "The fact that PDS offers a test database was a definite selling point. We can now test any changes, updates or workflow before we put them into production. The other solutions on the market did not have this functionality and would require testing new updates on the live system. With the real-time Vista HRMS environment, we are now better equipped to manage critical HR and workforce functions."

"The Cooper companies understand the challenges that inefficient systems and processes pose on an organization," said George Brady, vice president at PDS. "With the complexity of their operations, Vista has provided them with synergy between their HR and payroll departments and enabled them to better serve their employees. We look forward to continuing to partner with Cooper Aerobics and expand their use of Vista's functionality."
