Case Study: Granby Zoo streamlines scheduling and saves time with Evolia

Granby Zoo saves half a day per week on payroll with Evolia

Granby Zoo, a major zoo and amusement park, faced significant challenges in scheduling its 900 seasonal and full-time employees across its three attractions. The team, led by Payroll and Benefits Coordinator Marie-Claude Hervieux, struggled with last-minute changes, constant phone calls to manage availability and absences, and the complexities of unpredictable weather. To address this, they turned to Evolia's workforce management platform for a solution.

By implementing Evolia, the zoo gained an automated scheduling, time, and attendance platform. The solution provided real-time staffing data accessible on the grounds and allowed employees to arrange shift swaps through in-app messaging. This saved the Granby Zoo team half a day per week on payroll processing, eliminated schedule communication problems, and provided the flexibility to efficiently manage split shifts across different departments. Evolia's platform made scheduling autonomous and significantly reduced the administrative burden on managers.
