Case Study: Redwings Horse Sanctuary achieves streamlined operations and integrated HR & payroll with IRIS Software Group's Cascade HRi

Saving horses and streamlining operations Redwings Horse Sanctuary gallops ahead with Cascade

Redwings Horse, the UK’s largest horse sanctuary, had grown quickly to around 400 staff and faced increasing complexity from hybrid and part‑time working after COVID, exposing the limits of manual holiday, sickness and appraisal processes. To modernise and support flexible working, Redwings selected IRIS Software Group’s Cascade HRi as their HR and payroll platform.

IRIS Software Group implemented Cascade HRi as a fully integrated, customisable HR and payroll solution with self‑service, automated workflows and tailored reporting. The system streamlined many manual tasks, enabled employees to self‑serve, supported Redwings’ growth from about 250 to 400 staff, reduced HR admin burden, and improved recruitment and compliance — with Redwings now rarely needing IRIS support except to add licences.
