Case Study: Midwest Retailer reduces payroll close from two days to a few hours with Attendance on Demand

Midwest Retailer - Customer Case Study

A Midwest retail chain that sells outdoor cooking, lifestyle and hunting products and operates convenience marts and fuel stations struggled with burdensome manual time tracking for more than 300 employees. Staff relied on punch clocks and handwritten logs, which made payroll preparation slow and error-prone—taking more than two days to close each biweekly period—and complicated overtime reporting and scheduling across multiple stores.

The company deployed Attendance on Demand, a web-hosted time-and-attendance system with in-store kiosks, per-employee subscription pricing, and seamless integration with Payroll 1—no servers, software purchases or costly maintenance required. The solution automated time collection and supervisor approvals, eliminated manual data entry and errors, and cut payroll close time from days to a few hours (often minutes), significantly reducing administrative burden and improving payroll accuracy.
