Case Study
How Applegreen Made Labor Compliance Easier to Sustain Across a 620-Site Forecourt Network
Applegreen grew from one Dublin service station into a major forecourt and convenience retail network across Ireland, the UK, and the US. As the business scaled to 620+ sites and 15,000+ employees, labor compliance could not depend on manual follow-up, memory, or disconnected site-level processes. CloudApper AI extended UKG Pro WFM (Formerly UKG Dimensions) with a frontline process layer that helped employees and managers follow labor rules consistently at the point of work while keeping the enterprise system controlled.

The challenge
When labor compliance could no longer depend on store-by-store follow-up
Applegreen’s scale created a workforce challenge that was bigger than time tracking alone. With 15,000+ employees across forecourt sites, convenience stores, restaurants, and shopping centers, the company needed a consistent way to manage labor policies, break rules, minor employee requirements, and frontline workforce activity across a highly distributed retail environment.
Labor rules had to work consistently across a large retail footprint
Applegreen needed a dependable way to support mandatory breaks and workforce policies across hundreds of sites, without relying on after-the-fact review.
Frontline teams needed guidance at the moment of work
Managers and employees needed clear prompts inside the workday, not manual follow-up that created administrative work and compliance exposure later.
Manual processes created unnecessary risk
The company wanted stronger security and accuracy around employee check-ins while reducing the cost and effort created by manual workforce processes.
Scale required new capability without system disruption
Applegreen needed to close the gap on top of its existing workforce system, without waiting on a long replacement project or complicated development work.
The solution
A process layer that brought labor guidance closer to frontline work
Applegreen used CloudApper AI to extend UKG Pro WFM (Formerly UKG Dimensions) with capabilities the enterprise system did not provide on its own. The platform introduced tablet-based employee self-service, AI assistance, touchless Face ID check-in, break-related notifications, and labor compliance alerts. Instead of replacing the system of record, CloudApper AI gave Applegreen a frontline process layer that helped employees and managers follow labor rules consistently across its retail network.
Holiday and overtime interactions
Holiday pay interacted with overtime calculations in ways no existing payroll template handled — leading to underpayments that went undetected for weeks.
