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

How Evolia Saves the Granby Zoo Half a Day Per Week on Payroll

The Granby Zoo, a major attraction with over 900 seasonal and full-time employees, faced significant challenges in managing its complex and dynamic workforce. Scheduling for a mix of permanent and temporary staff across its zoo, water park, and amusement park was highly time-consuming. Coordinators spent excessive hours calling employees to confirm availability and handle last-minute changes and absences, a process made even more difficult by unpredictable weather. They turned to vendor Evolia for a workforce management solution.

By implementing Evolia's automated scheduling, time, and attendance platform, the zoo's management gained real-time staffing data and flexibility. The solution allowed for easy shift swaps through an app and eliminated schedule communication problems. This saved the payroll team half a day per week in administrative work and prevented unnecessary payroll errors, such as paying for unworked hours. Evolia provided the tools needed for efficient and streamlined workforce management.
