Case Study: Trillium Lakelands District School Board modernizes finance & HR, freeing 20–40 administrative hours with PowerSchool Unified Administration™ Atrieve

Trillium Lakelands Modernizes Their Finance and HR System to Empower Employees

Trillium Lakelands School Board, which serves about 16,000 students across 41 elementary, seven secondary and multiple alternative and online programs in Ontario, faced slow, paper‑based finance, HR and payroll processes that created redundant tasks, difficult expense processing and an overburdened administrative staff.

They implemented PowerSchool Unified Administration™ Atrieve, an integrated finance/HR/payroll system that streamlined workflows, cut procure‑to‑pay touches from 78 to about 57, reduced employee expense reporting from nearly two weeks to roughly an hour, automated petty‑cash reimbursements and freed 20–40 hours of administrative time—allowing staff to focus on higher‑value, strategic work.
