## What the story says

Helix Electric, an electrical contractor, uses Replit to build and publish internal purpose-built apps for niche workflows that off-the-shelf software did not cover. These include a schedule extractor for construction PDFs, a labor compliance payroll auditor, and a work instruction creator.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Replit and Helix Electric, not ours.

> We believe we’re the first to fully automate a labor compliance rule engine. What used to take 4 to 8 hours to review a single project’s payroll can now be done near instantly.

- **500,000**: “To date, Helix has processed over 500,000 individual schedule tasks with this tool.”
- **22,000 hours**: “The LCP Auditor has already processed over 22,000 hours of payroll data”
- **$1 million**: “more than $1 million in payroll audited”
- **4,000**: “In the last 90 days alone, Helix’s Replit-built apps have been accessed over 4,000 times across the company.”

> Working with Replit allows us to scale our efforts without necessarily scaling headcount. We’re a nimble team, and the goal is to maintain that — but have a bigger impact on the broader business.
