Case Study: Poupart achieves payroll peace of mind and compliance with IRIS Software Group's Fully Managed Payroll

Multinational business eliminates the burden of payroll administration by outsourcing

Poupart, a multinational produce and new fruit development business founded in 1895 with 830 employees and offices across the UK, Europe, Africa, Australia, the USA and Chile, faced a looming payroll challenge when their long-serving in-house payroll manager approached retirement. Increasingly complex payroll legislation and the administrative burden on IT led Finance Director Robin Dawson to seek an outsourcing partner — ultimately selecting IRIS Software Group and its IRIS Fully Managed Payroll service to ensure continuity, compliance and to free internal resources.

IRIS Software Group implemented its Fully Managed Payroll solution for Poupart in 2004, providing a single point of contact, maintaining HMRC gold accreditation, and managing major changes such as Automatic Enrolment and pandemic-related disruptions. The result has been consistently accurate and timely pay for all 830 employees, strong account continuity, reduced IT workload, and demonstrable peace of mind for Poupart’s leadership — with no payroll delays and uninterrupted service even through COVID-19 lockdowns.
