Acro Service Corp. Awarded Business Outsourcing Contract by Castrol Industrial Americas
Under the terms of the three-year contract, Acro will outsource and manage the administrative and labor functions that Castrol’s Chemical Management Services (CMS) performs on behalf of its U.S. clients. As part of the outsourcing arrangement, Acro hired approximately thirty Castrol employees to complement Castrol’s CMS teams in providing services to Castrol clients in more than a dozen U.S. locations. Going forward, Acro will assume full responsibility for the assignment and management of Acro administrative and labor staff to support Castrol’s on-site services at new and expanded CMS client’s locations. Castrol will retain in house CMS engineering and program management personnel.
Acro’s assumption of these important support responsibilities will allow Castrol staff to focus on core value-added client services. During the transition, Acro implemented its proprietary workforce management system, XRMSM Solutions, to achieve additional important benefits for Castrol. XRMSM Solutions streamlines Castrol’s communication of CMS requirements, time and expense reporting and approval, cost accounting data collection and electronic invoicing across all CMS client sites. XRMSM Solutions is a fully scalable, state-of-the-art, web-based system provided through an Application Service Provider platform.
