Cheil’s story
Now that we’ve launched ELMO, payroll processing time has decreased by 75% compared to our old system, which adds up to over 10 hours per month in saved time.

Rabbitohs’ story
Using ELMO has taken away a lot of the inefficiencies in the past where staff would need to come up to the payroll or the finance team to help them with solutions. The cloud-based solution lets them do it online 24/7 themselves which makes things a lot more efficient.
