Case Study: Skookum achieves better job matching and lower costs with Workday Adaptive Planning

Skookum turns real-time insights into meaningful opportunities

Skookum, a national leader in hiring veterans and people with disabilities, needed a unified real-time view of people, projects, and costs so site managers could better match employees to roles and support workers across its 12-state footprint. The company turned to Workday, using Workday Adaptive Planning alongside Workday’s integrated Finance and HCM suite to improve visibility and decision-making.

With Workday, Skookum implemented dashboards, a balanced metric scorecard, and hour-level labor visibility connected to its asset management system. The results included more accurate job matching, proactive on-site support, the ability to scale headcount without adding support staff, hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in time-tracking costs, improved bid competitiveness, and maintained or reduced SG&A-to-revenue.
