Case Study: Global Manufacturer achieves streamlined HR operations with Propeller’s Workday HCM implementation

Global Manufacturer launches Workday HCM with Propeller for 1,500+ employees

A global manufacturer partnered with Propeller to replace its outdated Human Capital Management (HCM) system with Workday HCM. The legacy platform led to inefficient processes, poor data quality, and an inability to scale. The client needed a modern, integrated solution to streamline HR operations and support its growth, but the transition carried high risks for critical functions like payroll.

Propeller led the program management, coordinating over 35 contributors and managing a $1.7M budget to ensure a seamless implementation. Their approach included risk mitigation, stakeholder alignment, and change management coaching. Propeller delivered the project on time and on budget, resulting in a disruption-free payroll transition and a new Workday system that now supports over 1,500 employees with cleaner data and more efficient processes.
