Case Study: Kelly Jo Designs by Wine achieves streamlined payroll and direct-deposit adoption with RUN Powered by ADP

Kelly Designs by Wine - Customer Case Study

Kelly Jo Designs by Wine, New Mexico’s first sip-and-paint studio, needed a more efficient way to handle payroll for its ~25 employees. The owners were spending too much time on manual payroll—tabulating hours, entering data into QuickBooks and cutting physical checks—and had no direct deposit option, which inconvenienced staff who missed payday pickups.

They switched to RUN Powered by ADP and found onboarding straightforward and well-supported, even outside traditional business hours. ADP’s implementation and 24/7 support enabled a smooth first payroll, freed up administrative time, and introduced direct deposit (now used by over 70% of employees), making pay more convenient and empowering the owners and office manager to manage payroll confidently.
