SERVICE: WORKDAY® LAUNCH NOW
INDUSTRY: AGRICULTURE AND FRESH PRODUCE
Challenges
Prime Time International, a grower, packer, shipper, and marketer of fresh produce, faced significant challenges when their current human resource (HR) platform no longer aligned with their operational goals. After evaluating three HR platforms over seven months, the organization knew it needed to move to an HR platform that better met its employees’ and company’s needs.
Objectives
Prime Time aimed to implement a strategic HR system that would streamline HR processes. They focused on creating a central location for support and employee connection at all levels, both in-office and remotely. The company required a cost-efficient solution that would improve employee engagement and growth potential. Prime Time sought the involvement of C-level stakeholders from the outset to guarantee unified decision-making and obtain leadership approval.
Solution
Prime Time selected Workday and the Launch Now deployment methodology due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Workday Launch Now is designed to meet the needs of small businesses, allowing them to start small and expand features as they grow or simply want to adopt more features and functions from the Workday suite of products. Partnering with Three Link Solutions, they focused on creating key strategic objectives to ensure a successful implementation. Day-to-day, teams connected to discuss alignment on progress. The regular communication put the Prime Time team at ease, especially through the testing process. The collaboration involved exploring platform features, conducting demos, and gathering internal feedback. Having a Three Link consultant available at all times reduced the testing cycle by 50% (from 14-days to just a week).
Results
Following the deployment of Workday leveraging the Launch Now methodology, Prime Time received positive feedback from employees and C-level executives. Within a month, the company made significant progress, as the system allowed users to add features and functions into existing work without the need for a complete system replacement. Three Link played a crucial role in this success, helping Prime Time identify key variables that aligned with the company’s rapid growth trajectory. Their expertise ensured that Prime Time was always steps ahead, navigating the complexities that came with Launch Now and Workday’s pre-configuration. Prime Time saw a complete implementation in just eight weeks with the help of Three Link.
which matched our rapid growth. The features, the demo, and the ability to add journeys as
needed showed we had a system that could scale with our capacity."
