Preceda Customer Stories

Secure Parking puts payroll and workforce in the safe hands of an integrated system solution

“The main challenge that Secure was facing was a lack of integration. From a governance perspective and from a risk perspective, we needed to make sure that those two systems were integrated, talking to each other.”

Veolia logo

Veolia transforms its payroll with Ascender

“It’s been a great change and that’s not only in the cost that we’re paying on a monthly basis but also in terms of my time and the time that people in the organisation are spending on payroll. That’s probably been the main benefit, as it gives us more time to focus on our people rather than admin.”
