Case Study: Ewing Irrigation reduces turnover from 31% to 25% and saves $750K with ADP DataCloud

Reducing costs and turnover with ADP® DataCloud

Ewing Irrigation, the largest family-owned irrigation distributor in the U.S. with about 1,300 employees and 230+ locations, was struggling with high turnover (around 31%), costly manual reporting and outdated data, and uncontrolled overtime—issues that eroded employee engagement and the customer experience at small branch teams.

By implementing ADP DataCloud the company gained real-time analytics, streamlined reporting and benchmarking, enabling data-driven decisions. In one year turnover fell from 31% to 25%, saving roughly $750,000 that year (with projected annual savings exceeding $1M as turnover continues to drop); targeted pay adjustments cut turnover by 20% in a key market, and improved overtime management, leadership conversations, employee engagement and customer service.
