Case Study: Laird Thermal Systems achieves streamlined payroll and faster reporting with Sage Intacct

Laird Thermal streamlines payroll with Sage People

Laird Thermal Systems, a global designer and manufacturer of thermal management solutions, needed better visibility of performance, productivity and labour costs while keeping employees engaged during rapid growth and economic disruption. The company faced complex payroll management across eight different payroll systems in ten countries and required alignment between HR and finance data.

Implementing Sage People (with Payflow integrations) unified HR data, linked the eight payroll systems, and provided cloud-based access and dashboards. The solution automated headcount and payroll reporting (cutting report creation from 30–120 minutes to seconds), improved workforce visibility and analytics, and strengthened talent management, agility and decision-making.
