Case Study: Southern Orchards Management streamlines H-2A onboarding and recordkeeping with Seso

Southern Orchards Management puts 400 H-2A workers in the orchard on day one with Seso

Southern Orchards Management LLC, a large peach and pecan grower, faced significant challenges managing the H-2A visa process and onboarding for nearly 400 seasonal workers. Their manual, paper-based system required extensive time and staff resources, delaying workers from starting their jobs immediately upon arrival. They partnered with Seso to utilize its H-2A filing and compliance software, worker services, and digital onboarding platform.

Seso implemented an end-to-end solution that managed the entire consular logistics pipeline and moved onboarding and training to occur before workers reached the farm. This allowed crews to be productive on day one. The results included a successful E-Verify desk audit, significantly reduced administrative burden for the HR team, and remarkably low worker turnover, leading to an exceptionally smooth operating season for the customer.
