The Challenge

Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona had manual processes that no longer made sense. It had over a dozen systems that did not work together, creating inefficiencies for employees. Additionally, inefficient systems led to confusing, manual, paper-based processes with no ability to use data for actionable insight. After streamlining its point of sale system in recent years, Goodwill leaders recognized the need to modernize their ERP. 

Key Highlights

Goodwill experienced the benefit of cloud technology firsthand when the organization acquired more locations during its deployment. “The combination of Workday and Avaap really made sense for us and made the most sense for us to consolidate HR, Finance, and Payroll onto one system and to position us for future growth," said Vice President of Information Technology, Bill Serva.

Following its successful deployment, Goodwill plans to expand their Workday footprint with Talent, Performance, Learning, and Prism.
