About Wanganui Vets
Wanganui Veterinary Services is a mixed veterinary practice with a dedicated team of vets and support staff passionate about applying their skills to assisting all animals and their health in the Whanganui region.
The practice was one of the very first in New Zealand to gain BEST PRACTICE accreditation and is always looking to further improve our services.
The Challenge
Before BambooHR was implemented, Wanganui Vets struggled with operational inefficiencies that took up more time then it needed to. One noticeable problem was the inconsistent way in which employee data and administrative responsibilities were managed. Follow-ups or reminders for significant deadlines had the potential to fall through the gaps.
Furthermore, obtaining important documents and data was quite a process and often required physical access to the office.
The hiring process posed its own set of issues when there is no system involved. The recruitment process from creating a job advert, communication with the applicant and onboarding was all done manually and took up a lot of time.
The Solution
BambooHR has been a game changer, enabling Wanganui Vets to have one cohesive system across their multiple branches and locations. It has connected teams, provided one source of truth for employee data in an online environment and freed up more time for the HR team.
Outcome 1: Reporting
The team were pleasantly surprised by BambooHR's comprehensive reporting capabilities. Not only can BambooHR generate a variety of standard reports, but it can also create custom reports that are suited to the specific needs of their various groups and departments.
Outcome 2: Files and eSignatures
The files area within BambooHR has become an indispensable tool for their organisation, revolutionizing the way they manage and share crucial documents. This feature allows them to create specific folders for different groups or individuals, ensuring that sensitive information is accessible only to those who need it. For example, a manager at a remote site can now access employment agreements relevant to their location without having to sift through a mountain of irrelevant paperwork.
Outcome 3: Customisation
Wanganui Vets appreciated being about to configure BambooHR specific to their exact requirements. Whether it's adjusting the workflow for onboarding new employees, creating custom tables and fields, or configuring the user interface to reflect the most relevant information for each team member.
Wanganui Vets is now setup for success!
In conclusion, Wanganui Vets is now setup for growing success!
"No brainer that we would recommend BambooHR, if it can do for others half of what it has done for us, they would be mad not to. We find that there is still plenty of features to discover and use to its full potential, and the support/technical staff at Business Toolbox are always helping to find ways to assist and where possible modify the software to suit our needs."
