Case Study: Action Group achieves streamlined payroll and scheduling with Sparkrock Manage

Action Group - Customer Case Study

Action Group is a nonprofit community agency in Central Alberta supporting adults and children with developmental disabilities (420+ employees, $16M budget). Before implementing Sparkrock Manage (Finance Management and Workforce Management) from Sparkrock, the organization struggled with data and process silos between Finance and HR, manually processing over 600 timesheets every two weeks, payroll inaccuracies, paper-based scheduling, time-consuming shift replacement, and operational risk from knowledge concentrated in a few administrators.

Sparkrock implemented an integrated Sparkrock Manage solution including Online Employee Scheduling, the Employee Centre and Relief Bidding to centralize data, automate timesheets and streamline scheduling. The result: estimated savings of 1.5 full-time equivalents in payroll processing, stronger data integrity and cross-department collaboration, reduced reliance on single employees, improved staff connectivity and retention, and more supervisor time focused on client services.
