Some workforce problems don't come from a system breaking down. They come from never having one to begin with.
For Relanto's US and Canada teams, that gap showed up in the most ordinary way possible: spreadsheets. Vendor records, client records, employee and consultant data, all of it lived in Excel, and all of it got harder to keep accurate as the business grew.
The Breaking Point
Relanto is a 300-person global IT development, consulting, and technology services partner with offices across the US, Canada, and India. Its US and Canada teams operate together, relying on shared vendor, client, and employee records to run day-to-day operations.
Two problems stood in the way of doing that well:
- Data management with no shared system, spread across manually maintained spreadsheets
- Manual upkeep that left little room for accuracy as the team scaled
Why Ceipal Won the Evaluation
Relanto's leadership moved straight to Ceipal without evaluating other workforce management platforms, drawn to its simplicity. Ease of use and convenience were exactly what the team needed to walk away from spreadsheet-based tracking for good.
What Changed After the Switch
One shared system of record: Vendor, client, and employee data now live on a single platform instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets eliminated: Excel was fully retired as the system of record for vendor, client, and workforce data.
Three record types, unified: Vendor, client, and employee/consultant records. Relanto's three highest-value use cases now run through one system instead of three disconnected tracking methods.
Fast, low-friction adoption: More than 6 users became productive quickly, with no formal training program required.
A Partnership Built to Last
As David Dsilva, Manager, Operations at Relanto, puts it:
"Ceipal gave us an easy, convenient way to bring accuracy to how we manage vendor, client, and employee records across our team. Moving off spreadsheets and onto one shared system made a real difference, and the support team has been quick to respond whenever we've needed them."
The Bigger Picture
Relanto sees its relationship with Ceipal as an ongoing one, with the platform continuing to support the accuracy and convenience its team set out to find in the first place.
