Case Study: Askham Village Community achieves paper-free workforce management with Alpaka

Askham Village Community goes fully digital in 6 months with Alpaka

Askham Village Community, a group of specialist care homes, faced significant challenges with its manual, paper-based systems for employee rostering, timesheets, and record-keeping. As the family business grew to 250 staff, these processes became increasingly time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to error. The management team needed a digital solution from vendor Alpaka but was concerned about implementing new technology with a staff that had varying levels of computer affinity.

Alpaka implemented its workforce management software in four stages, beginning with data transfer and rostering tools before rolling out its time and attendance app, Alpaka Presence. The solution eliminated paper, provided real-time data and oversight, and dramatically reduced the time spent handling employee attendance. The results included increased accuracy for payroll exports, saving the organization both time and money, and provided the tools necessary to adapt quickly during the COVID-19 lockdown.
