Case Study: Abele Tractor & Equipment

Background

Abele Tractor & Equipment is a 140-year-old company, currently in its fifth generation of family ownership and operation. Its core business is sales, renting/leasing, and servicing of construction equipment. The company also sells and services equipment for grounds maintenance for both commercial and consumer type customers. Abele Tractor is the dealer for more than fifty major manufacturers of equipment. They currently employ 55 workers.

In 2005, Abele began using GTM to process their payroll and manage employment taxes. In recognition of their 20th anniversary with GTM in December of 2025, here’s a look at why they continue to partner with GTM.

Finding a Solution

Abele needs a payroll partner that can:

• Provide timely and accurate payroll processing
• Generate an annual report on insurance deductions
• Offer local, responsive client support

A Better Way: Payroll and HCM from GTM Payroll & HR

GTM’s payroll and human capital management (HCM) services meet Abele’s needs and more.

Michael Bates, Office Manager, has been working with GTM for the past decade. He appreciates the value that a local payroll partner can offer.

“There’s peace of mind knowing that in an emergency, we can just run over to GTM’s office to take care of it,” Bates says.

Kelly Tymchyn, HR Manager, has also been working closely with GTM for many years, and greatly values the customer support GTM provides through their dedicated account manager.

“We sometimes get odd requests or tax issues that come up,” Tymchyn says. “GTM always understands what is asked and takes care of it in a timely fashion.”

An extraordinarily different experience
GTM’s HCM platform provides a unified solution for human resources, onboarding, payroll, benefits administration, time and attendance, and more. An integrated platform means a single sign-on for everything needed to manage employees. There is no need for multiple logins or exporting and importing data into different systems.

Exceptional local service and support
GTM’s accessible and knowledgeable account support team provides dedicated, high-touch service when Abele needs assistance. Tymchyn appreciates the personal service her team gets from their payroll account manager.

“We have been very fortunate to get such helpful account managers over the years,” Tymchyn says. “I’m so pleased with their service – we’ve built a trusting relationship.”

Conclusion

After 20 years with GTM, Abele Tractor & Equipment continues to receive experienced, certified professionals who deliver efficient and cost-effective payroll services. And as their organization has grown over the years, they have trusted GTM to grow with them.

The isolved platform scales right alongside their business, backed by an experienced service team who are with them every step of the way. With local, dedicated support and the technology to provide accurate, reliable payroll services, GTM delivers value beyond expectations.

“The relationship with our account managers over the years is a huge reason why Abele has stayed with GTM,” says Bates. “Working with a local payroll provider with dedicated support has made things so much easier.”
