Ripple was deployed to operate alongside the companys existing PeopleHR installation and the warehouse and inventory solution Mintsoft, maintaining PeopleHR as the central HR record repository while introducing automated task orchestration for day to day processes. The operational coverage included HR, operations, and site management across the UK, with mobile access designed to give drivers and remote staff visibility and transactional capability in real time.

Documented outcomes reported by Willmotts include streamlined processes, reduced manual error, significant reduction in paper usage, faster access to employee data in real time, and stronger confidence in audit readiness through consolidated records and customizable reporting for training and certification renewals. | |
