Bravad, a local partner operating in several industries including telecommunications, stands out in the market through the refurbishment of second-hand mobile phones. With over 250 employees and 18 locations to coordinate, the two-person HR team, led by Sara Lemire, needed a solution that employees and managers could adopt easily, and one that could keep up with a fast-growing group. Their previous provider offered slow support and a clunky interface. Since switching to Agendrix, the HR team has finally found the simplicity it was looking for, and more!
Weekly Time Savings per Department With Agendrix*
Managers built schedules monthly in the old software. The interface lacked intuitiveness and navigation felt complex.
Managers communicated changes manually. No notifications. No read confirmation.
The old system made approval complex. Managers struggled to spot anomalies visually. They approved unpunched shifts by mistake, triggering payroll corrections and escalations to the HR team.
Managers create their schedule once. From there, schedule templates carry over month to month: a few adjustments, and the schedule is ready to publish.
Employees receive instant notifications directly on their mobile phones. The difference is striking! Managers see who viewed the schedule. “It's a game changer. No more excuses like I didn't see it!”
The validation system simplifies timesheet approval through automatic detection. Missed punch notifications let managers correct anomalies in real time rather than at payroll. Fewer errors, fewer corrections, and more targeted tracking per location.

We fell in love with the platform, the visuals, the user-friendliness, the messenger, the news feed. As for the time validation system, it’s by far the biggest improvement.
Less Technical Headaches, More People Management.
Why Agendrix?
- Quick adoption despite the complexity: nine companies and 18 locations managed in one place, with an interface teams pick up without heavy training.
- A communication channel that actually reaches employees: the news feed and messaging get to store staff who don’t check email or other internal tools.
- Much more reliable hour validation: automatic detection and missed-punch notifications catch anomalies before payroll, cutting corrections and escalations to HR.
- Centralized onboarding: an automatic welcome email, an integrated form and electronic signatures replace manual sends and back-and-forth with support.
