Geary’s Bakeries
"We needed a platform that supported scalability and provided the scheduling flexibility that is so crucial to our business. The automation of our manual processes will not only save us time but also increase operational efficiencies across the organisation."
Bidfood
"My favourite thing is the access I have to our data in the background and the ability to feed that back to the business in useful ways."
Leonardo
"We’ve started to move away from asking basic questions like ‘Did everyone get paid on time?’ to ‘How did we get there?'. We’re achieving a greater depth of analysis, looking at factors such as the accuracy at different stages of the pay cycle, and how effectively changes were communicated within the team. This is helping us make additional process enhancements in key areas like payroll."
