Case Study: ACCO Brands achieves $500,000 in cost savings and 75% faster payroll processing with Dayforce HCM

Expert Guidance Eases Acco Transition To Dayforce Hcm

ACCO Brands, a global leader in office products with about 3,000 U.S. employees, had outgrown its outsourced HR and payroll model and needed to bring many administrative duties back in house. The company chose Ceridian’s Dayforce HCM but faced a tight six-month timeline to transfer extensive data and train its workforce on the new system.

Using Ceridian’s MyMove program, ACCO completed a structured transition—documenting payroll processes, configuring Dayforce with manager and employee input, and receiving one‑on‑one training from experts. The move delivered roughly $500,000 in savings, enabled a smooth, low‑stress cutover, improved feature adoption and productivity, and reduced processing time for 100+ weekly self‑service items by 75%.
