Case Study: Easby Group achieves clearer, more efficient HR management with Breathe

How Breathe made efficiencies and saved money for Easby

Easby Group, an electronics business with 75 employees across four sites in the North and South of England, needed a better way to manage HR after separating from its previous owner. Its interim system was messy and spreadsheet-like, with conflicting records, limited reporting, no self-service, and too much manual admin for HR Manager Kay Fletcher. Easby Group chose Breathe, its HR software, to replace the old setup with a more complete and affordable solution.

Breathe provided Easby Group with easy data upload, self-service for employees and managers, strong reporting, leave management, compliance tracking, and equipment logs for items like phones and Grey Fleet MOT and insurance checks. The results were immediate: Kay can now produce board reports in minutes instead of hours, managers can run their own reports, and dashboards give clear visibility of key tasks and reminders. With Breathe, Easby Group improved efficiency, data accuracy, business continuity, and cost savings by replacing multiple tools with one system at a sensible price.
