Case Study: Gist Limited achieves centralized, cloud-based HR and greater workforce efficiency with SAP SuccessFactors

How Can the Right HR Tools Help Workers Stay Focused on Moving Products Around the Globe

Gist Limited, a global supply‑chain logistics provider with more than 5,000 employees across 7 countries, needed to replace on‑premise HR software to support rapid growth, streamline HR administration, and give a largely mobile workforce easy access to HR tools. To achieve this, Gist chose SAP SuccessFactors, deploying SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals to centralize employee data, standardize processes, and enable faster onboarding and staffing across new locations.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a cloud HR platform with mobile self‑service, integration to payroll/time systems, and configurable performance processes, giving Gist visibility into skills and development and improving data quality for faster decisions. The deployment eliminated 60% of paper forms, boosted on‑time completion of performance reviews by 20%, and was rated easy to use by 9 of 10 employees, delivering greater engagement, efficiency, and reduced infrastructure overhead for Gist.
