e-days client case studies

Real Networks

The software giant Real Networks recently signed up to use e-days across their various European offices. A need for consistency across these sites and the rapid growth of Real Networks demanded a streamlined automated holiday and absence management solution.

"Before e-days, our European staff made their holiday requests in writing. As the company grew, the time required to handle this holiday administration increased dramatically plus the potential for error and for records to go astray also arose. We looked at many online systems and have found e-days to be the most flexible and comprehensive in its functionality."

Shepherd and Wedderburn

Scotland’s top law firm Shepherd & Wedderburn needed a system to co-ordinate their absence management across their various offices in Scotland and England. They required a solution which could reduce administrative time and costs and provide a way to better manage workload co-ordination between their offices.

"We wanted a system that would allow us to control and co-ordinate staff leave at all our sites and provide a way to schedule team meetings whilst ensuring all the necessary individuals were able to attend. e-days provides us with the system we needed and we’ve been able to work with the development team to customise it even further to our needs. We estimate that it has cut down administration time by 45% and that’s a noticeable difference for our HR teams."

Fosters Bakery

The famous British bakery, Fosters Bakery, needed a system which could streamline the holiday and absence management process across the multitude of departments within the business; from bakery floor to board room.

"At Fosters, we have staff who are doing a wide variety of different jobs, from people involved in baking the bread on the shop floor of the bakery, others involved in transport, some in bakers’ shops and a number doing office based jobs. As such, there were a number of different systems in place for booking holidays and it was important for us to bring everything together with a single, standardised and reliable system. We looked at a number of options, but e-days was definitely the best. It is easy to use and very flexible and has streamlined and simplified the whole holiday management process in the business."

PI Research

PI Research, the engineering design firm, who design systems for leading Formula 1 teams, needed a simple, yet sophisticated, system to fit into their organisation to formalise their absence management process within, and between, their sites in the UK and the USA.

"We required a new holiday and absence booking system for our 150 staff due to a change in corporate structure. After and extensive search, we selected e-days because of its ease of use, ease of administration and cost effectiveness. Switching to edays was simple and required minimal user training. We have been very pleased with the product – it has proved easy to use, well supported and it does exactly what it says on the tin!"

Waystone

Waystone, the construction and development firm, wanted to take control of their staff absence process in addition to empowering their employees through an automated, self service solution across their 4 sites in the UK.

"Our employees are really enjoying the convenience of booking their leave using e-days staff holiday planner, and it has certainly saved me a lot of time and effort. In addition, with the attendance monitoring features of e-days, I now feel far more in control of staff absences."

Flame Health

One of the leading health recruitment consultancy firms, Flame Health, recognised the gains offered by tackling absence management through the use of technology, even in a relatively small workforce.

"Although we aren’t a big company, it is still vitally important for us to be able to effectively manage staff holidays and absenteeism. I have found e-days to be an incredibly useful business management tool. It has saved us a considerable amount of time and I know that the staff like it and find it easy to use. We even recommend e-days to our own clients now!"

TTT Moneycorp

TTT, one of the UK’s leading foreign exchange companies, needed a system that would not only automate their absence processes and reduce administrative overheads in their large workforce but also a system that would benefit their employees on a day to day basis.

"The savings that we gain in time and resources by using e-days to record absence from the office will allow the company to utilise personnel staff elsewhere. It’s a welcome addition to our staff benefit package and the response so far has been excellent."

Liverpool FC TV

LiverpoolFC TV, the official website of Liverpool football club, is the most visited football website in the world. They needed a versatile system that would benefit both their staff and the business as a whole and bring absence, holiday, training and events into one easy to use system.
