From 6-Month
Implementation to
30-Day Stability

This case demonstrates how embedding proven client-side expertise drives faster deployment, stronger readiness, and measurable business value from a Workday implementation — outcomes that contribute to a high return on investment.

This challenge was less about technical installation and more about ensuring business readiness, governance, and execution confidence. Lightspeed was scaling fast—but fragmented systems, decentralized operations, and constant M&A pressure were slowing execution and eroding efficiency.

"Working with Kandor proved immediate and measurable ROI. They really helped us see around corners and focus in areas where there might be gaps on the customer side so that we can be successful. If we did this again, we'd bring them on even sooner and double down on their advised approach. We were happy to share our success story at Workday Rising"
