The Total Economic Impact™ of the Dayforce HCM Platform
An independent study from Forrester reveals how replacing fragmented systems with a single, AI-powered people platform simplifies work at scale.

What you’ll learn:
Customers saw 176% ROI, $6.8M in net present value, and payback in under 6 months by consolidating with Dayforce
Frontline managers got back 60% of time previously spent building and adjusting schedules
Leaders reported stronger confidence in payroll accuracy, better employee experiences, and greater agility
What changes when HCM, payroll, and workforce management work as one
If you run payroll or own workforce outcomes, you feel the stress every day. Challenges turn into late nights, workarounds, and growing risks. A new Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study shows what changes — financially and operationally — when organizations replace fragmented HR, payroll, and workforce management systems with a single platform and real-time data.
Customer interviews across multiple industries and a composite organization of 7,500 employees using the Dayforce HCM platform show the financial and operational impact of consolidating workforce systems into a single platform.
Beyond the financial results, leaders described fewer payroll surprises, more empowered employees through self-service and on-demand pay, and teams that could adapt faster as the business evolved.
For organizations under pressure to solve business problems with real returns, this study sets a clear benchmark for what simplification should deliver.
