Case Study: Genius Foods boosts efficiency and decision-making with Civica HR, Payroll and Time & Attendance

Genius Foods looks to the future with HR innovation

Genius Foods, Britain’s leading “free from” bakery brand with 550 employees across four sites, was running separate, end‑of‑life payroll systems after rapid growth and acquisitions. To consolidate systems, eliminate manual processes and gain better visibility of costs and staffing, Genius Foods selected Civica and its Civica HR, payroll and Time & Attendance solution.

Civica implemented an integrated system with a self‑service portal, biometric time capture, automated overtime alerts and payroll notifications, plus bespoke development and training. Civica’s automation removed spreadsheet-based processes, accelerated overtime approvals and payments, improved data accuracy and delivered clearer cost‑vs‑productivity intelligence—resulting in company‑wide efficiency gains, faster payroll processing and better rota and staffing decisions.
