Case Study: 1610 reduces payroll admin and paper use with Advanced HR and payroll software

1610 saves 6,000 pieces of paper a year with Advanced

1610, a not-for-profit leisure trust, faced challenges with inefficient, paper-based HR and payroll processes that relied on error-prone spreadsheets and an outsourced accountant. This led to unreliable data and significant administrative burdens. To modernize its operations, the trust selected HR and payroll software from Advanced, implementing OpenHR and OpenPeople.

By implementing Advanced's integrated systems, 1610 centralized its data, eliminating manual entry and multiple spreadsheets. The results included saving at least 6,000 pieces of paper annually, bringing payroll in-house to cut year-on-year costs, and drastically improving reporting efficiency. Advanced's software also ensured a smooth transition to Pension Auto Enrolment, with pension members increasing by 252%.
