Case Study: Smurfit Kappa Group achieves standardized, real-time compensation insights and better pay benchmarking with ADP DataCloud (ADP)

Smurfit Kappa Group - Customer Case Study

Smurfit Kappa, a global leader in paper-based packaging with operations across Europe and the Americas, needed better visibility and standardized practices for payroll and compensation. With weekly and biweekly pay cycles and complex reporting needs, the company faced risks of errors and inconsistent pay decisions without reliable, timely reports.

By using ADP Workforce Now and ADP DataCloud — including Workforce Compensation Analysis — Smurfit Kappa gained hundreds of standardized, real‑time reports and benchmarking tools that streamline audits, verify market pay, and surface regional pay gaps. The insights enabled targeted pay increases for underpaid locations, improved hiring and retention decisions, and gave payroll, HR and finance faster, more accurate reporting and greater confidence in compensation strategy.
