Case Study: Agape of Appleton achieves 75% faster payroll processing with Greenshades Software

Cutting Payroll Processing Time by 75% with Greenshades

Agape of Appleton, a nonprofit operating 16 group homes and supported living sites, faced an urgent payroll and HR challenge when support for their legacy Microsoft Dynamics GP payroll module waned. To future‑proof operations and replace fragmented timekeeping, benefits, and payroll tools, Agape chose Greenshades Software, first expanding from tax services to timecards and benefits and then moving to Greenshades Payroll as the cornerstone of their HR/payroll strategy.

Greenshades Software implemented its Payroll & HR Plus platform — including Payroll Time Entry, Green Employee, Enhanced HR, Onboarding, and Tax Filing Center — to replace GP payroll and integrate timekeeping and benefits. The solution cut payroll processing from nearly two full days to half a day (a roughly 75% reduction), eliminated many manual workarounds, improved timesheet accuracy and open enrollment processing, and allowed Agape to reallocate staff time while ensuring compatibility with their future ERP.
