Case Study: Lely Ireland achieves automated time tracking, EU Working Time compliance, and lower IT costs with Replicon

Ireland-based Company Automates Employee Time Tracking While Complying with EU Working Time Regulations

Lely Ireland, a family-owned distributor of agricultural and turf-care machinery based in Kildare, faced mounting administrative burden from paper-based time, leave and expense records as its headcount grew. The manual process created delays, discrepancies and made it difficult to maintain accurate records required to comply with the EU Working Time Directive, while remote staff needed a more convenient way to log hours and request holidays.

The company implemented Replicon’s TimeAttend and WebExpense (later moving to Replicon’s SaaS model), which staff quickly adopted for attendance, leave and expense submissions. The cloud solution provided remote access, accurate compliance-ready records, faster, more efficient processing, reduced IT and hardware costs, and a near-seamless implementation—delivering improved efficiency, accuracy and lower ongoing support needs.
