Case Studies

The compromise of current systems
As a business built on its people, The National Trust needed a HR system that would empower its 12,000 employees, not limit them with complex, inaccessible, disjointed experiences.

Transforming systems to power people
Connecting to their current system, Oracle MYplace, Applaud maximized their initial investment, transforming experiences across the full HR journey, from recruitment to self-service.

Engaged employees, candidates and managers
Delivered a ROI within the first year, increased the number of candidates applying for jobs, reduced the time for hire and won a nationwide award.

Negative HR experiences limit Barnado’s positive impact
Barnado’s strive to donate as much as possible to their front-line work with children, so needed HR systems that increase efficiency and empower people across the organization.

Transforming current systems without costly disruption
Applaud integrated with Barnado’s existing Oracle ERP system, transforming the HR experience with a focus on data quality, mobile adoption, and self-service.

Engaged employees and improved performance
All 8,000 employees and 22,000 volunteers can now manage and control their data quickly and easily across any device, increasing workplace efficiency.

Underwhelming, Confusing UX
As one of the nation’s leading business solutions provider to manufacturers and retailers, Advantage Solutions needed to modernize their workforce’s experience across Oracle’s HCM mobile and desktop apps.

Modernizing Self-Service and Mobile Apps
Applaud transformed the user experience of Oracle’s desktop and mobile interfaces, streamlining journeys and increasing productivity with new Employee and Manager Self-Service features.

Uniting Worlds of Work: From Workday to Oracle
This success meant that when Advantage Solutions acquired Daymon in 2018, they replaced Daymon’s Workday solution with Applaud and Oracle HCM - a decision that benefitted over 95,000 employees.

Seamless HR Experience
MEWA migrated 120 HR Services into their new Applaud environment, including absence and leave booking, overtime logging and approvals and also business travel. Critically, when COVID-19 hit MEWA were well-positioned to communicate efficiently and quickly with their entire workforce.

Modernizing Self-Service and Mobile Apps
MEWA were able to shut down Oracle self-services with new and improved versions on their Applaud platform. With 100% adoption on their desktop platform, mobile apps are now being phased in. 

Efficient and Satisfied Employees
Employee satisfaction with the system was 90% within the first 6 months. Employee efficiency improved throughout the Ministry with cleaner, intuitive navigation and easy-to-use services.

Reinventing Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle E-Business Suite had been a long-standing core HR system used throughout Allseas, but with a need for increased functionality and faster innovation, Allseas were seeking a more agile solution.

Accelerated innovation with Applaud’s no-code platform
The dynamic nature of the business meant that frequent modifications to the Oracle system were in constant demand but Allseas found that the changes were slow to implement due to the complexity of the system and the skills needed to update it.

Increased adoption and efficiency
Applaud’s workflows transformed how HR collaborated with the business and saw a significant efficiency increase, giving them the freedom to work on more strategic projects.

Digital innovation with award-winning EX technology.
A UK-based not-for-profit healthcare provider was looking to implement improvements to its HR systems. It sought to advance its digital innovation strategy, improve the user experience for its employees and expand its digital services for users.

Supporting administrative and front-line workers with next-gen technology.
Applaud helped HR increase its level of support for its front and back-end workers by simplifying its HR support system and offering one place for all their employee and manager needs. 

Achieving savings of over £1 million.
This project has been a huge success, with Applaud saving the hospital between £1 million and £1.5 million.

Slow, confusing and manual processes 

India's largest listed retail stock broker lacked the necessary digital tools and expertise to stay competitive in the market.  The existing technology stack, comprised of five separate systems, wasn't scalable for future growth. HR was also burdened with repetitive, transactional tasks, limiting their capacity for strategic initiatives. 

Offering a best-in-class onboarding experience

Leveraging Applaud's creator platform, ten processes (including background checks, IT asset allocation, E-sign) associated with onboarding were rebuilt and automated using the powerful workflow engine. 

80% reduction in onboarding enquiries

After launching the project, AngelOne saw 80% reduction on onboarding enquiries and a 9.1 onboarding score.
