Case Study: i-FERN reduces payroll processing time by 84% with Sprout Solutions

How i-Fern’s team reduced payroll disputes by 70%

i-Fern Corporation, a direct selling and network marketing company, faced a significant challenge with its manual, paper-based HR and payroll processes. With 16 locations, gathering and consolidating data from multiple spreadsheets and biometric devices was extremely time-consuming and prone to error. This inefficiency burdened the HR staff with repetitive tasks, led to employee disputes, and made remote work difficult. To achieve operational excellence, i-Fern partnered with Sprout Solutions for an HR automation solution.

By implementing Sprout's cloud-based platform, which includes features like automated timekeeping and the Web Bundy for remote clocking in, i-Fern streamlined its HR and payroll operations. The solution from Sprout provided a single source of truth, drastically reducing manual intervention. The results were substantial: processing time decreased by 84.14% from 56 hours to just 10 hours, and attendance and payroll disputes dropped by 70%. Sprout also enabled a seamless transition to remote work, for which the company achieved a high preparedness score.
