Situation

Managing the employee lifecycle, from hiring to termination and rehire, for thousands of employees can be overwhelming, especially when relying on manual processes. Companies need an efficient way to automate onboarding, offboarding, and role-based access provisioning to ensure smooth HR-IT operations.

For an average company, provisioning and onboarding new employees can take over two hours per hire. Automating these repetitive tasks frees up HR and IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives while reducing operational costs.

Topgolf, a global sports entertainment company, faced this challenge during an aggressive expansion phase, growing from 14 locations in 2015 to 60 by 2019. To streamline HR processes, enhance security, and improve employee experiences, Topgolf leveraged RoboMQ’s ADP Vantage to Active Directory (AD) integration, automating onboarding and lifecycle management. As a result, Topgolf saved over $700,000 annually in labor costs while ensuring efficiency, scalability, and compliance.

Struggles and Pains

With 22,000+ employees across 60 venues worldwide, Topgolf’s manual onboarding and access provisioning became unsustainable, straining HR and IT teams as they struggled to manage high-volume hiring, role-based access assignments, and secure deprovisioning. These inefficiencies led to inconsistent employee data, security risks from delayed access provisioning, and an inefficient onboarding process that impacted workforce management and employee experience. To streamline operations, enhance security, and reduce manual effort, Topgolf needed a scalable, automated ADP Vantage to AD integration.

Resolution

Topgolf partnered with RoboMQ, a leader in HR-IT process automation, to develop and deploy a modular Hire2Retire integration on its Hybrid Integration Platform. This end-to-end automation streamlined the onboarding and provisioning process by:

Automatically creating Active Directory accounts from ADP Vantage based on role-based access rules.

Syncing employee profiles across third-party applications like Workplace, HotSchedules, and Cornerstone.

Provisioning secure access to venue-specific POS systems, ensuring seamless operations.

Ensuring compliance by instantly deprovisioning terminated employees, mitigating security and reputational risks.

By using RoboMQ’s ADP to AD integration, Topgolf achieved:

$700,000+ in annual cost savings by eliminating manual onboarding and access management.

An automated, scalable HR-IT process, supporting 22,000+ employees globally.

Enhanced security and compliance, preventing unauthorized access post-termination.

Improved employee experience, ensuring seamless “First Day at Work” onboarding.
