Travis Perkins selects the right tools from NorthgateArinso - HR contract renewed to strengthen workforce support

Travis Perkins, a leading UK supplier in the building and construction industry, has re-signed its contract with NorthgateArinso to continue using its payroll and HR management solution until 2014. The firm has also introduced self-service functionality for its 25,000 employees.

Travis Perkins has used the HR and payroll software for the past nine years. It allows HR and employees from other departments to better manage processes in-house, from pay to absence management and training.

John Smith, IT Manager, at Travis Perkins commented: “We are highly self-sufficient when it comes to our internal IT systems. We have renewed our contract with NorthgateArinso, as we feel its HR service matches our high standards.

“The solution has served us very well over the last nine years and it was not a difficult decision to re-sign, it is important that we have every confidence in our HR and payroll systems.”

Malcolm Aldis, UK managing director at NorthgateArinso, said: “Renewing this contract will give us the opportunity to maintain the strong relationship we have built with the company. We’ve demonstrated our value through streamlining all HR processes and aligning our functionality to meet the needs of the business and will continue to do so in the future.”
