Yappy Ltd is an e-commerce company specialising in personalised dog and cat products and gifts in the UK and US. This exciting start-up is based in Manchester and was founded in 2018.
Prior to implementing Appogee HR, Yappy relied on Excel spreadsheets to manage staff leave for their 36 employees.
The Problem
Being a fast-paced growing business, relying on Excel brought its challenges trying to track leave and sickness with ever-changing team structures. Maintenance of employee information and approval flows often fell to the bottom of the priority list. As they grew, Yappy decided it was time to centralise the function to add some well-needed structure and prevent potential exploitation of the spreadsheet system.
The solution
Yappy found Appogee Leave and immediately saw the benefits it would provide. We spoke to Matt Roche, Management Accountant at Yappy about the setup and continued use of Appogee Leave.
Having a system that is easy to use day-to-day is very important to Matt, as his role sees him multi-task across all things finance for the business and includes overseeing the HR function.
“I’m yet to find something Appogee Leave can’t do” he explains, “what’s more, the system is ever evolving too. It’s extremely user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Given that Leave and Sickness are not the most exciting of functions, it’s doing what it can!.”
“Additionally, the team at Appogee HR are great and the support we have received has been excellent. All queries we have ever had have been swiftly answered”.
Looking Forward
As Yappy continues to grow, they will be making use of Appogee HR for their business’s HR needs. While they only have the Appogee Leave package, for now, it makes sense for them to be thinking about the additional benefits of the HR Essentials or HR Success packages that are on offer. Especially seeing as the price is “an absolute no-brainer, the money we have saved in employee time since implementing Appogee HR far outweighs the cost!”.
