The Legacy of a Passionate Pet Owner and Its Evolution with RoboMQ

While Petmate was able to expedite its journey toward its ultimate goal, the swift expansion of the workforce made the management of the employee lifecycle a complex and time-consuming task. With the need to streamline HR processes and improve operational efficiency, Petmate turned to RoboMQ for a transformative solution.

 

Imagine you’re in the early 1960s, living happily with your furry friends in your cozy home in Texas. One day you decide to travel across the country to explore novel places and grow your business. You got all your plans ready, decided which cities you would fly to (thanks to the aftereffects of the golden age of aviation), and got all your items packed well. Then you call up the aviation agency and ask them about their provisions for pet travel, only to be thoroughly disappointed learning there isn’t one. 
If you can imagine all this, you are already wearing the shoes of Ben Doskocil, a dedicated philanthropist and passionate pet lover. In a time when traveling with pets was unthinkable, Ben set himself out on a mission to make pet travel safer and more comfortable. In 1962, he crafted the very first plastic kennel approved for airline use, revolutionizing pet transportation forever and giving birth to his new entrepreneurial venture Doskocil Manufacturing. 
Over the years, Doskocil Manufacturing grew into Petmate, a leading name in the pet industry today with over twenty brands and a wide range of innovative pet products. The rich history of innovation and growth spanning six decades for Petmate saw various acquisitions and mergers, all with the singular aim of improving the quality of life for pets and pet parents through sustainable methods. 
While Petmate was able to expedite its journey toward its ultimate goal, the swift expansion of the workforce made the management of the employee lifecycle a complex and time-consuming task. With the need to streamline HR processes and improve operational efficiency, Petmate turned to RoboMQ for a transformative solution.  
RoboMQ’s leading PIP (Prepackaged Integration Product) Hire2Retire proved to be the perfect fit for Petmate’s needs. The powerful employee lifecycle management and identity provisioning solution seamlessly integrated Petmate’s Active Directory with ADP, automating processes from onboarding to offboarding, identity provisioning, and office contact mapping. 
With Hire2Retire in place, Petmate’s HR team was able to eliminate manual tasks, reduce errors, and optimize time and resources. The streamlined processes ensured a smooth onboarding experience for new hires, efficient offboarding procedures, and strict access rules to protect sensitive data.
