Freshpeel Produce

About the Business

Freshpeel Produce, a family-owned fresh produce manufacturer based in Cambridgeshire,
specialises in peeling, dicing, and slicing onions for further processing. Employing roughly 45
people, the company faced challenges around time and attendance tracking, staff planning,
and payroll accuracy.

The Challenge

Before implementing RotaOne, Freshpeel Produce manually input data from hand-written
timesheets for all of their staff’s working hours. There were many errors and very little data
verification, which led to mistakes in people’s payslips and extra administrative work.

Why RotaOne?

The significant amount of time spent each week on sorting out the payroll meant there was a
huge benefit to any time-saving we could manage. Not only a potential cost-saving for the
labour hours, but also in terms of minimising mistakes which would take further time to correct
and additionally the time we clawed back could be used for other areas of the business.

How RotaOne Helped

We are now able to verify working hours against our fingerprint clock-in/out system to ensure
the data lines up correctly. It’s also a lot faster as instead of manually working out all of the
various hours worked and different pay rates RotaOne works most of it out automatically. We
can then tweak as needed and export the data to our accountants, confident that mistakes have
been cleared up before affecting anyone’s pay

Integration with Paxton

The data verification aspect has been invaluable, it also makes exporting the data a lot easier for
us as every employee has their own connectors to different databases (payroll ID numbers, net2
ID numbers) so it’s all tied together throughout the process.

Benefits to the Organisation

We have saved a lot of time and effort as we do benefit from the easier data entry and data
verification. The various reports on the data are also useful and easy to read/understand.
There’s also a report for everything before we even know we need it!

Support Experience

We don’t use the support very often but every time we have, the problems have been resolved
quickly and effectively.
