- Wonderful ongoing service
United Dairy Farmers Limited is the largest farmer-owned co-operative society in Northern Ireland. There are three different companies within the Belfast area, under the umbrella of United Dairies.
The Challenge
All three companies had previously been using individual time recording and personnel systems. This situation was inefficient so a decision was made to install a system that had the ability to control each site and the varying operating shifts that were in operation at each location. It was also essential that the chosen system could provide for a growing business, allowing control of all areas and most of all, real cost savings.
Post installation of Mitrefinch Time and Attendance Software.
Since the implementation of Mitrefinch Time and Attendance software, four administration staff are now no longer required as the volume of paperwork significantly reduced. We projected an £80,000 cost saving in the first year of installing Mitrefinch Time and Attendance Software”.
Geoff Devlin – Project Manager
After the Group purchased a new purpose built state-of-the-art premises in Belfast for all three companies, it introduced Time and attendance software from Advance Systems. This allowed all payroll to be controlled in-house, a process which was previously outsourced.
Advantages include greater cost control and significantly reduced administration time. The Time and Attendance system is both accurate and fast, providing quality and timely reporting that supports departmental managers in their roles. Any personnel issues are quickly highlighted and addressed.
The decision to install Mitrefinch Time and Attendance Software from Advance Systems was made on the basis that it could meet all United Dairies requirements. United Dairies was keen to engage with an Irish company that had both professionalism and know-how, combined with a hands-on approach to the implementation of the new system.
We felt we could trust them, from management, to sales personnel, technicians and support staff. This was a big factor when making our decision as our on-going working relationship had to be based on a strong trust base. The support and ongoing service from Advance System’s staff throughout the installation of the system has been wonderful
