Case Study: Discount Tire achieves scalable HR efficiency and major time-and-cost savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

Discount Tire drives HR efficiency and scalability to support growth

Discount Tire, founded in 1960 and now America’s largest independent tire and wheel retailer with more than 22,000 employees across 1,033 locations, faced a growing pain: its 20‑year‑old on‑premise HR system and paper‑based processes could no longer keep pace with rapid expansion, innovation needs, or secure, scalable operations.

Discount Tire moved to Workday’s cloud HCM to automate and configure core HR and payroll workflows, enable self‑service and automated onboarding, and consolidate data into one secure source. The switch cut open‑enrollment support time by 75% and onboarding time by 50%, saved 490 hours annually through direct access, delivered $119K in annual payroll head‑count avoidance, sped reorganizations to two days, reduced audit time by half, and improved reporting, security, and overall user experience.
