Case Study: CeX achieves 90% payroll admin reduction and six-month ROI with Access Group's SelectPay

Integrating payroll software with Access finance software delivers ROI in six months and reduces payroll admin by 90% for CeX

CeX, led by Financial Director Emma Best, was struggling with a labour‑intensive payroll process that relied on a bureau and manual re‑keying into spreadsheets, produced limited reporting for the Dimensions finance system, and effectively required a full‑time payroll resource. Already using Access finance software (Dimensions), CeX evaluated and selected Access Group’s SelectPay payroll solution to improve data accuracy, integrate timesheets and HR information, and reduce errors and admin time.

Access Group implemented SelectPay in under a week, linking it to Dimensions and CeX’s EPOS timesheet exports with no extra development or training costs; ePayslips and straight posting to the ledgers eliminated re‑keying and the paper trail. The result: a six‑month ROI by removing bureau fees, a 90% reduction in payroll administration (payroll prep cut from a full‑time role to two days), faster, accurate pay runs and redeployment of staff to value‑adding tasks.
