Case Study: Brosnan streamlines HR operations with ELMO Software

How This New Zealand Building and Construction Company Transformed Mindsets to Embrace HR Technology

Brosnan, a New Zealand building and construction company with 350 employees across multiple locations, was managing HR through more than 20 spreadsheets, manual paperwork, and disconnected processes. This created errors, version control issues, slow administration, and no single source of truth for employee data. To address these challenges, Brosnan turned to ELMO Software and its HR platform, including HR Core, Onboarding, Performance, and Learning.

ELMO Software implemented a staged rollout of its modules to help Brosnan move from manual HR processes to a centralized digital system. The results included a 20% increase in onboarding completion rates, from about 70% to over 90%, a reduction of onboarding from 102 steps to 30, and a 65% year-on-year cut in emails for new starters. ELMO Software also helped streamline reporting, improve document management, and save significant time on tasks such as sending fuel card updates, while boosting workforce adoption and engagement across the business.
