i-FERN & Its Push Toward Streamlined Payroll Processing

i-FERN Corporation started off 2020 with its digital transformation journey. The company successfully revamped its employee timekeeping and payroll processing with Sprout’s HR administration and payroll management system.

Since 2012, i-FERN’s mission has been “Sharing Prosperity Globally Through Entrepreneurship.” Simply put, i-FERN promotes better health while empowering its members to pursue profitable business opportunities.

A caveat: i-FERN needed a digital system to help streamline essential HR and payroll processes. Let’s review the company’s top challenges and how Sprout helped address the company’s pain points.

Many businesses rapidly transitioned to remote and hybrid work during the pandemic. As i-FERN moved into a new working environment, it faced the following issues:

• Excessive paperwork and repetitive tasks
• Manual processes that resulted in human error
• Unsecure data in a remote work environment

These challenges led it to look for a solution, which led the company to Sprout Solutions.

i-FERN leveraged Sprout’s digital HR and payroll management tools to:

• Reduce HR and payroll processing time, plus overtime hours for those tasks
• Achieve more accurate attendance and payroll processing
• Ensure business planning continuity for remote work

With digital transformation, the firm was able to achieve the following:

• Process HR requests and payroll in 10 hours, a significant decrease from 56 hours
• Decrease processing time by 82%
• Reduce attendance and payroll disputes by 70%
• Achieve a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 9 in Remote Work Arrangement Preparedness

A fully integrated system helps companies like i-FERN simplify payroll processing and ensure secure data in remote work arrangements. In turn, businesses can drive results and succeed in the new world of work.
