Case Study: Alaska Mill & Feed saves 300 hours and boosts employee engagement with Paylocity

Retailer Streamlines HR Processes and Creates Connections with Paylocity

Alaska Mill & Feed, an employee‑owned retail and manufacturing company in Anchorage with 90+ employees, struggled with paper‑based HR: a 400‑page onboarding process, manual performance reviews, scattered spreadsheets, and limited communication that hampered seasonal hiring, compliance, and employee engagement. To modernize their people processes, they partnered with Paylocity to replace their legacy local provider.

Paylocity deployed its HCM platform—digital Onboarding, Benefits Administration, Community, Learning Management, Performance Management and a mobile app—to automate documentation, centralize communication, and surface actionable data. The change recouped 120 hours during seasonal onboarding, saved 180 hours annually on benefits administration, increased employee engagement via Community, and reduced HR workload while improving compliance and visibility.
