Challenges

• Chiquita managed and maintained three legacy HR systems. Those systems were not able to support the company's unique organisational models and business structure
• The IT department handled updates and ongoing maintenance to support the three systems. The legacy process was costly and time-consuming
• The IT team was on call to run basic reports, simply to retrieve HR and business information. The HR organisation used bulky paper-based processes to work around the system's other limitations

Solutions

• Workday Human Capital Management, Workday Payroll, Expenses, and Procurement
• These solutions reduced the burden on IT, allowing the team to focus on strategic operations initiatives
• The systems lowered costs and simplified on-demand delivery
• The solutions handle Chiquita's global rollout requirements efficiently as it continues to grow globally

Results

• A 30-percent savings in system costs, compared to on-premise options.
• Annual savings of $1-2 million in recruiting costs.
• True labour-rate data that optimises production and saves hundreds of thousands of dollars per instance.
• Significant productivity gain for the HR organisation that allows the team to be a strategic, consultative partner to the business.
