Case Study: Orchard Dale Fruit Co. streamlines H-2A onboarding and payroll with Seso

Orchard Dale Fruit Co. pinpoints worker arrivals within 12 hours with Seso

Orchard Dale Fruit Co, a seventh-generation apple farm in New York, faced significant challenges in managing its H-2A workforce. With a one-person office handling 120 seasonal workers, the process was bogged down by paper-based onboarding, a lack of visibility into visa consulate scheduling, and immense administrative stress. The farm needed a modern solution to streamline its back-office operations and partnered with Seso for its H-2A filing, compliance, and digital onboarding software.

By implementing Seso's all-in-one platform, the farm automated its job order filings, recruitment contact, and consular scheduling. Seso handled digital worker onboarding and payroll, which eliminated all paper processes. The results were transformative: the office manager could pinpoint worker arrivals within 12 hours instead of a five-day window, completely stopped printing paperwork, and reclaimed three days previously spent on administrative tasks to focus on critical safety training. Seso provided the visibility and efficiency needed for the farm to continue its growth.
