Arcoro is one of the few HR platforms built specifically for construction and trade contractors, with HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing among its primary industries. The platform is modular, letting HVAC owners pick what they need - applicant tracking, onboarding, core HR, ExakTime time & attendance, benefits administration, ACA compliance, performance management, learning management, or succession planning - and add modules as the business grows. For a 30-tech HVAC shop, that typically starts with Hire (ATS + onboarding) and Manage (ExakTime time + HRIS), then expands into benefits and training.
Arcoro's construction DNA shows up in the details. Applicant tracking understands trade job titles and certifications. Onboarding handles I-9s, license verification, and EPA 608/NATE certifications that HVAC techs need. Time tracking (via ExakTime) supports certified payroll, prevailing wage, and rugged onsite clocks for jobsites. Learning management delivers OSHA, safety, and code training that HVAC owners need for insurance and compliance. Everything ties back into a single HRIS so certifications, training, performance, and pay all live in one record.
Arcoro is not a payroll engine itself - it integrates with ADP, Paychex, Viewpoint, Foundation, Sage, Acumatica, and other payroll/ERP systems. The fit is strongest for mid-market HVAC contractors (50-500+ employees) with real HR headcount that can take advantage of the suite's depth. Smaller shops often find Arcoro heavier than they need and stick with Gusto + a time tracker. Pricing is quote-based and modular, so HVAC owners should expect a sales conversation.
