100+ Employees Across Three Branches and an Online Store

Founded in 1979, ADM Sport has grown from a local retailer into a prominent motorsports equipment provider, expanding its operations across three branches and establishing a significant online presence. 

The company opened its first large-format store in Quebec City in 1997 and continued to diversify its offerings, adding specialized boutiques for Motocross and ready-to-wear by 2000.

By 2020, ADM Sport further extended its range to include mountain biking accessories, adapting its facilities and services to meet evolving customer needs and industry trends, while continually focusing on enhancing safety and customer experience.

ADM Sport has a huge impact in their industry and in their community from their continued commitment to provide excellent customer service, product selection, and competitive pricing. This has continued to play a pivotal role in their ongoing growth.

With over 100 dedicated staff members across three branches and a thriving ecommerce presence, ADM Sport provides everything from motorsport mechanic workshops to a wide selection of retail products, ensuring every customer finds exactly what they need for safety and enjoyment.

The motorsport retail environment is a competitive industry and requires meticulous coordination and management. Especially during peak seasons when customer demand and inventory turnover are at their highest.

The Challenge

Complexities in Workforce and Schedule Management

Imagine managing several busy retail environments that cater to a wide range of motorsport enthusiasts and preferences. Sounds exciting, but this wears off when your day fills up with shift management, time-off requests, and last-minute shift absences.

This was the reality for Julie Gagnon, the Human Resources Coordinator, and her teams at ADM Sport. Their old system involved a time-consuming mix of an in-house website and email system for staff schedules and leave requests. 

Ultimately, this setup didn’t properly accommodate proper leave management and employee scheduling, as requests weren’t aligned with the website or there wasn’t a trail of previous requests. Leaving both the manager and employee in frustrating situations and other teams bogged down with manual changes like different punch validation.

ADM Sport needed something that was easy to use, has extensive functionalities, integrates with Folks and Nethris, and ideally is Quebec based–as that supports their values and commitment to the province.

The Solution

By integrating Evolia’s workforce management software, ADM Sport’s staff save time and have a significantly better schedule management process. For the team, the software is secure, flexible, and robust enough to handle the changing needs of their growing retail operations.

Julie, managers, and leadership have all noticed major positive results from implementing Evolia, including:

• Employees can now easily offer up open shifts, make leave requests that funnel properly to the managers, and have confidence that punch times on their paystub are accurate.
• On the HR side, the team can more easily validate punches to streamline some of the manual tasks involved in pay period management.
• Hours saved every week from the automation of schedule creation, shift assignment, punch reports, and more!
• The management team at ADM Sport also benefits from streamline communication and more time and focus more on strategic initiatives.

All these enhancements to ADM Sport’s HR processes and employee experience help to set them up for their future success and continued growth in the motorsports retail industry.
