Case Study: Valley Carriers achieves streamlined payroll and centralized HR with Rise People

How a logging company established a roadmap for success with Rise

Valley Carriers is a family-owned log-hauling and specialty transportation company in British Columbia with 100+ employees spread across drivers and multiple operations bases. With a multi-generational culture focused on collaboration and growth, the company struggled to manage payroll and HR in-house using spreadsheets and manual time entry—an increasingly time-consuming process made harder by dispersed teams, shift differentials, and the need for managers to input employee data.

Switching to Rise gave Valley Carriers a single platform for payroll, HR, benefits, and time & attendance, including GPS integration for driver hours. The result: payroll processing dropped from 3–4 days to 2 days, office managers can access centralized employee information, HR tasks like holiday booking are simplified, and responsive support has helped the team focus on culture and future HR initiatives.
