Case Study: Moosehead Breweries achieves instant payroll processing and major time savings with Rise People

How a Canadian brewery saves time with Rise payroll

Moosehead Breweries, Canada’s oldest independent and family-owned brewery, relies on long-tenured staff and a culture of community involvement to drive its business. As part of a five-year continuous-improvement plan, the company sought ways to reduce administrative overhead: payroll runs were slow and inflexible (taking 10–15 minutes with restarts for changes), exports were view-only PDFs, reporting incurred extra fees, and support responses were delayed.

After switching to Rise payroll, Moosehead cut processing and review time from minutes to seconds, gained editable Excel exports and self-serve reporting, and eliminated extra fees and manual work for remittances. Rise’s fast, desktop chat support — plus extended support hours for the Maritimes during onboarding — delivered quicker answers and greater confidence, freeing Moosehead to focus more on employees and customers while reducing payroll costs and errors.
