Case Study: Kroger reduces year-end payroll processing time by 97% with Systemware Content Cloud

How Systemware Content Cloud’s automation capabilities helped Kroger reduce payroll processing time by 97%

Kroger, the nation’s largest supermarket chain, faced a major payroll data challenge: Accounting Services supports payroll for 500,000+ associates across 2,700+ stores, and year-end processing required manually searching separate repositories for each division because their existing ECM couldn’t automatically find or extract the needed data. To avoid a full overhaul of legacy systems, Kroger sought a solution that could span disparate repositories and work with their existing workflows — and engaged Systemware and its Content Cloud platform.

Systemware implemented Content Cloud’s automated transform and extraction services, integrating Kroger’s existing Monarch models and automating once-manual tax and report extractions. The result: year-end data compilation dropped from 112 hours to 3 hours (a 97% reduction), daily time savings and improved team productivity, the ability to migrate without leaving IBM Z, and a future-proofed content platform that Kroger continues to expand with new automations.
