The Pantry Improves Talent Management With UltiPro

CARY, N.C. -- The Pantry Inc. selected Ultimate Software's UltiPro people management solution for its approximately 1,560 convenience stores across 13 states.

Delivered in the cloud, UltiPro provides businesses with end-to-end human capital management (HCM) functionality, including human resources, payroll, benefits, recruitment, onboarding, performance management and reviews, succession planning, career development, time and attendance, and 24/7 access to information for managers and employees, according to Ultimate Software.

Prior to selecting UltiPro, The Pantry, which primarily operates under the Kangaroo Express banner, used a homegrown system to manage its HCM alongside multiple systems and spreadsheets.

"Our previous system had been customized so much that it limited opportunities for improvements," said Heather Clawson, human resources manager at Cary, N.C.-based The Pantry. "UltiPro’s payroll capabilities are strong and employee data moves easily across all areas of HCM, from recruitment to onboarding to payroll. We also chose UltiPro for its ease of use, strategic reporting tools and its ability to integrate well with other applications, which are all important to our business. UltiPro has helped us better integrate the systems and improve processes."

Weston, Fla.-based Ultimate Software has more than 2,500 customers with employees in 144 countries.

"Without a doubt, unified, end-to-end HCM is the optimal way to achieve efficiencies and elevate productivity to best support your people, especially for businesses like The Pantry that have thousands of employees, dispersed locations and goals for more expansion," said Greg Swick, chief sales officer at Ultimate Software. "We’re excited that UltiPro has provided this very successful retailer with powerful technology that is significantly improving its human resources processes, and we look forward to a long, rewarding business relationship as we both grow in the future."
