Wilson Vale invests in new HR system to drive future growth

Independent foodservice contract caterer Wilson Vale, which employs 750 staff working across a portfolio of 95 customers in the corporate, independent education and conferencing sectors, needed to modernise its HR and payroll processes to support its expansion. The company recognised the need for more efficient software for its HR team and a more robust package for payroll, and needed to future-proof its business by implementing best practice processes to support its teams as it continued on its steady growth path.

Independent foodservice contract caterer Wilson Vale is laying the foundations for future growth by modernising its HR and payroll processes in partnership with industry experts, MHR. The transition to MHR's market leading cloud based iTrent system combined with SAP Business Objects, will see the Leicestershire based company, which employs 750 staff working across a portfolio of 95 customers in the corporate, independent education and conferencing sectors, unite its core HR and payroll functions on a single platform and embrace new digital methods of working. This will support the management of its employees through the streamlining and acceleration of many core administrative tasks, including payroll, while enhanced reporting capabilities will provide critical business insight across the organisation as it continues its expansion. Furthermore, new self-service functionality will greatly enhance engagement levels at Wilson Vale by empowering managers and employees in their working roles.

Investing in iTrent will accommodate the company's ever-changing needs and help to future proof the business by implementing best practice processes to support teams as they continue on their steady growth path. The platform provides more efficient processes, improved reporting capabilities and new levels of engagement through self-service.
