When you’re running large manufacturing operations across multiple sites, managing time and attendance can quickly turn into a tangled web of shift patterns, rotating rosters, and overtime rules. For Cedenco Foods NZ Limited, with significant production sites in both Hastings and Gisborne, this was the daily reality.

In 2023, Cedenco partnered with TimeHub to simplify the way they captured, approved, and reported employee time. Since then, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

Navigating Complexity With Confidence

Cedenco operates in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, where multiple rosters and variable shifts are the norm rather than the exception. Their HR Manager, Erika Teariki, highlighted how closely the TimeHub team worked with them to understand and map their unique rules:

“The TimeHub team has worked closely with us to navigate our complex timesheet rules, including multiple shift patterns, rotating rosters, and intricate overtime requirements.”

Instead of forcing Cedenco to change its processes to fit a system, TimeHub adapted to the complexities of the business, giving managers confidence that their attendance and payroll data are consistent, accurate, and aligned with company policy.

A Better Experience for Staff and Managers

Implementing TimeHub didn’t just improve accuracy; it also enhanced efficiency. It also made life easier for everyone involved in the time-and-attendance process.

Cedenco has seen real efficiency gains, especially in approvals and reporting. What once took significant administrative time is now streamlined and far more transparent.

“The system has made a significant difference for our people and approving managers by streamlining processes and reducing administrative burden. The reporting tools available to managers, HR, and payroll are excellent and have improved visibility and decision-making across the business.”

Clear, simple, real-time information means faster decisions and fewer headaches.

Support That Stands Out

One theme has emerged strongly from Cedenco’s experience: the value of genuine, responsive support.

From onboarding to day-to-day guidance, and even through a payroll-system change, Erika says the TimeHub team has always been there to assist.

“What truly sets TimeHub apart is their exceptional support. From the initial implementation to ongoing assistance—and even when we decided to change our payroll system—the team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.”

It’s the kind of partnership Cedenco values and one we’re proud to provide.

A Partnership Built on Trust and Flexibility

Cedenco Foods is a shining example of how a business with complex requirements can simplify time management without losing the nuance of their operations. By combining intuitive tools with personalised support, TimeHub has helped Cedenco gain clarity, save time, and reduce admin pressure across their teams.

“We value this partnership and highly recommend TimeHub to any business looking for a reliable and flexible time management solution.”
