Case Study: Lucas Refrigerated Transport achieves payroll processing in hours (down from 2 days) with Axon Software

Lucas Refrigerated Transport - Customer Case Study

Lucas Refrigerated Transport, a family-owned carrier in Calgary, struggled with time-consuming, duplicative accounting and payroll processes that relied on Excel and manual data entry—payroll alone used to take two full days. About 10 years ago they implemented Axon Software, using its integrated modules, fuel-download capability and hosted server services to centralize orders, payroll, invoicing and reporting.

Axon Software automated fuel bill imports, eliminated double‑entry, enabled direct emailing of invoices and hosted their server, cutting payroll from two days to roughly three hours and removing the need to hire an extra 1–1.5 full‑time staff. The Axon Software solution also reduced data-entry errors, sped up receivables and reporting, and relieved IT overhead, delivering measurable time savings and greater operational accuracy.
