One Team. One Platform. One incredible story of a fuel-injected transformation.
We’re thrilled to share that Viva Energy is now fully live with the Dayforce suite, completing a dual-phase project implementation over the past 16 months.
This bold initiative saw 700+ former Coles Express sites (now Reddy Express) go live in April — and this week, an additional 200+ OTR locations joined the platform. The rollout now supports 10,000+ staff across Australia’s largest fuel and convenience retailer.
Speaking at the recent Dayforce Summit, Viva’s then GM of Retail Technology, Jason McNamara, captured the scale of what was achieved:
“We had a two-year window to effectively separate what was a very highly integrated business that had been part of the Coles Group for 20 years… we had to build greenfield payroll, HRIS, workforce management, talent management.”
Demi Tacey, then General Manager People and Culture (Convenience and Mobility), echoed that sentiment:
“We had multiple platforms, different awards, a merger to navigate, and a transition deadline to meet — we needed to move fast.”
So how did they do it?
With a ‘One Team’ mantra and an unshakable partnership between Viva, Dayforce and Pinpoint HRM, this high-performing team made the impossible… possible.
“Pinpoint led with professionalism and resilience and having Bron as our PM was a game-changer!” applauds Demi.
From our humble but fearless project lead Bronwyn Best, a moment of pride:
“I can’t express how grateful I am to our ‘Team Viva’ for all your hard work in pulling together to get this result for our client. Something we can all be proud of.”
From Phase 1 MVP to full deployment this week, the impact is already clear:
- Faster, more accurate payroll processing
- Digital self-service for frontline teams
- Simplified scheduling and compliance
- Leaders spending time on strategy — not spreadsheets
Huge congratulations to the Viva team for your bold vision and commitment, to our legendary Pinpoint consultants for bringing the grit and expertise to the project, and to Dayforce for the tech that powered it all.
YOU DID IT!!!
