How Health Garden replaced a paper-based HR process and found accuracy with Fingercheck

Health Garden, a food and beverage brand specializing in low glycemic products, had never used an all-in-one payroll and HR software platform before Fingercheck. They managed everything on paper: timesheets, hour tracking, HR documentation, and the disorganization that came with it was costing them. After switching to Fingercheck, the team moved from a chaotic manual process to a fully automated system, and accuracy became a given rather than a goal.

The challenge: A paper process that couldn’t scale

For a company selling health-focused products and running a lean operation, time spent chasing down timesheets and manually reconciling HR paperwork was time and money going nowhere useful. Health Garden had never used payroll or HR software before — every hour tracked, every time-off request, every HR record was handled on paper. The process was disorganized and error-prone, leaving too much room for things to fall through the cracks.

The solution: One platform to replace all of It

Fingercheck gave Health Garden its first automated HR and payroll system, built from the ground up on a single platform. Employees clock in through Fingercheck, managers run reports, and PTO, sick days, and time-off requests all flow through the same system. Nothing gets lost in a paper trail because there is no paper trail.

What Health Garden said

We switched from a very manual process — paper timesheets, very unorganized. Once it was automatic and everyone could punch in, it was breathing easy. Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy — that was the strongest thing for us.
