Case Study: Lakeshore Inc reduces labor costs and slashes scheduling time 80–85% with Celayix Software's eTime Xpress

Lakeshore Inc - Customer Case Study

Lakeshore Inc., a long-established grower in Jordan Station, ON with 250–500 seasonal workers, struggled with manual scheduling and reporting that consumed 10–20 hours a week in HR time, generated overtime errors, and left the company without accurate time-and-attendance visibility. To address this, Lakeshore selected Celayix Software’s employee scheduling solution, eTime Xpress, to streamline scheduling, time tracking and reporting.

Celayix Software implemented eTime Xpress and integrated it with Lakeshore’s existing hand‑punch hardware and payroll system, enabling supervisors to manage schedules and HR to import accurate time data. The result: scheduling time fell by 80–85% to about 2–3 hours/week (saving 10–15 hours), reporting time dropped by 95% (saving ~10 hours/week), overtime costs were substantially reduced, and Lakeshore gained detailed labor and cost visibility for better budgeting and payroll processing.
