Case Study: Hamilton achieves global reach and improved HR efficiency with Workday Adaptive Planning

Hamilton gains a global reach while improving efficiency

Hamilton, founded in 1968, is the world’s largest automated liquid handling company. Rapid growth left the business with multiple disparate HR systems, paper-based processes in some subsidiaries, and IT that couldn’t keep pace—making workforce planning, compliance and day-to-day HR operations inefficient and fragmented.

By implementing Workday as a single global HR platform, Hamilton centralized employee data, automated processes and improved user experience across devices. The company consolidated four systems into one, implemented organizational changes 50% faster, cut workforce planning time by 60%, scaled a subsidiary from 22 to 300 people without large HR increases, saved CHF 247,500 in the first 18 months, and saw learning hours per employee rise 60% along with broad mobile adoption.
