Case Study: AEIOU Foundation reduces payroll to 5 hours and streamlines HR with Ascender Preceda

AEIOU Foundation - Customer Case Study

AEIOU Foundation, a not‑for‑profit delivering early‑intervention therapy for children with autism, was hampered by paper‑based timesheets and Excel payroll processes that wasted management time, lacked historical data and slowed decision‑making. Seeking a cloud‑based, integrated HR/payroll solution, AEIOU selected Ascender and its Preceda platform to replace manual processes and improve continuity, scalability and cost‑efficiency.

Ascender implemented Preceda’s Payroll, HR, Time, Deduction Management Services and Reporting modules with mobile access, eliminating reconciliation bottlenecks and improving data governance. As a result, payroll processing fell from 1–2 days to about five hours, auto‑pay removed timesheets for corporate staff, and managers regained time and transparency to make faster operational decisions.
