Case Study: Life Style Sports achieves 10% net wage savings and reduced manager workload with Advance Systems

Lifestyle Sports - Customer Case Study

Lifestyle Sports, Ireland’s largest sports retailer with 67 stores and about 1,000 employees working full‑time, part‑time and temporary shifts, relied on a manual handwritten system that was time‑consuming, error‑prone and unable to accurately track irregular hours across multiple locations. Management needed a reliable time and attendance solution to monitor varied shifts, control labour costs and streamline operations.

Advance Systems deployed Mitrefinch Time and Attendance across all stores, delivering a user‑friendly, centralized system that cut overtime by 1.5 million and generated a 10% saving in net wages. Managers’ workloads fell, reporting and deadline compliance improved, minimal training was required, and employees gained clear ownership of their hours and holiday calculations — outcomes the client attributed to Advance Systems’ professional, can‑do approach.
