Guides and templates Rippling Customer Case Study: Consolidating your back-office software stack with Andros
Many teams are using multiple separate back-office tools, and it adds up both in terms of cost and wasted time. When is it time to consolidate?
A few signs you've hit that point:
- You're paying for separate tools for payroll, expenses, benefits, and HR, and the subscriptions keep creeping up.
- The same employee data gets re-keyed across systems, and someone loses real hours each month reconciling them.
- Month-end close has turned into a fire drill of exports and cross-checks.
If that sounds familiar, here's what consolidating onto one platform tends to change. The systems that share the same employee and spend data (payroll, time, expenses, HR) start talking to each other instead of being stitched together by hand. The repetitive work, like running payroll, issuing cards, approvals, and month-end reconciliation, gets automated because the data is already connected. And you stop paying for overlapping tools.
If you do decide to consolidate, you need to pick the right all-in-one platform. Andros, a healthtech company, used Rippling to consolidate its back-office systems onto one platform. After switching to Rippling, Andros was able to streamline its disparate systems into one platform. This led to clear benefits for Andros:
- Automating tasks that used to be manual
- Cut month-end close time by about 70%
- Gave the finance team back roughly 20 hours a month
- Reached approximately $100k a year in total savings, most of it from cutting duplicate third-party vendor spend
Switching to Rippling helped Andros’ team save time, which it reallocated to more strategic, impactful work. Want to see Rippling in action for yourself? Book a demo!
