Wells Enterprises, founded in 1913, is the world’s largest family-owned and managed ice cream producer. With about 2,700 employees (most of them based in Le Mars, Iowa), Wells Enterprises produces more than 150 million gallons of ice cream per year under the Blue Bunny® label, as well as the iconic Bomb Pop® frozen treats. Yet managing the HR and payroll for those employees was a cumbersome, labor-intensive, highly manual process that relied on obsolete technologies. As Wells planned for continued growth and expansion, the company was eager to bring its HR processes into a streamlined, next-generation technology platform that would enable significant self-reporting and seamless updates with help from Grant Thornton.
