Case Study: SunOpta achieves streamlined payroll and workforce efficiency with Dayforce

SunOpta delivers better-for-you beverages, broths, and snacks with an engaged workforce

SunOpta, a food and beverage manufacturer with more than 1,200 employees across the U.S. and Canada, needed to replace manual, fragmented HR and payroll processes spread across multiple systems. Before partnering with Dayforce, the team managed timekeeping, recruiting, HR, and payroll in separate tools, creating complexity, extra data entry, and compliance risk.

Dayforce helped SunOpta consolidate people operations into a single system with modules for payroll, HR, workforce management, recruiting, onboarding, analytics, and more. The result was a streamlined, automated process that reduced HR team headcount by more than 50%, cut payroll recalculation time by 90%, and improved accuracy, compliance, and employee access to pay through Dayforce Wallet.
