Case Study: Kavli achieves streamlined HR processes and major time savings with CIPHR

Kavli - Customer Case Study

Kavli, maker of Primula cheese spreads and parent company to St Helen’s Farm and Castle MacLellan Foods, employs 241 people across four sites and channels all profits to charity. Facing a fragmented HR environment of time-and-attendance systems, payroll and spreadsheets, Kavli needed a flexible HR system to manage complex shift patterns, improve reporting, enable employee self‑service and provide payroll integration.

After evaluating eight suppliers, Kavli implemented CIPHR with on-site training and consultant support. Self‑service and Paylink integration eliminated duplicate data entry (saving about 25 minutes per new starter and a day a week previously spent on holiday processing), automated reports that once took a day now run in minutes, simplified seasonal onboarding and improved manager visibility — delivering faster HR processes, clear ROI and strong employee adoption, with plans to expand into PDRs and onboarding.
