Case Study: Leading Global Footwear & Apparel Retailer achieves Pan-European Payroll Consolidation, Compliance and Cost Reduction with Hexaware

Pan European Payroll IT Solution for Global retailer Footwear and Apparel

Leading Global Retailing Company, a global retailer of athletically inspired shoes and apparel with ~3,500 stores and 44,000 employees, faced fragmented payroll operations across Europe, inconsistent gross-payroll calculations, high IT support costs and compliance and error risks. They engaged Hexaware to deliver a Pan European Payroll IT Solution—covering integrated time management, absence management and a payroll calculation engine—to standardize and simplify their source-to-gross payroll processes.

Hexaware implemented a rule‑based global template, a low‑maintenance single interface to payroll vendors and a robust forecasting engine, enabling consolidation to a single payroll vendor across 15 countries. As a result Hexaware delivered automated, error‑free payroll calculations, Europe‑wide statutory compliance, a 100% auditable single source of truth for payroll data and reduced administrative and IT costs while providing finer forecasting for profitability and spend control.
