A mid-size manufacturing firm — HR Management System
Payroll processing cut from 3 days to 4 hours, and the monthly reconciliation that used to follow it stopped being necessary.
Outcomes
The challenge
500-employee workforce managed on spreadsheets. Monthly payroll errors. Leave approvals took a week via email chains.
Context
This client runs a 500-employee manufacturing plant in Pune. HR operated on spreadsheets — attendance, leaves, payroll and statutory compliance. Every month was a 3-day payroll fire-drill and leave approvals routinely took a week via email threads.
Our approach
Phased modernisation — not a big-bang rip-and-replace
We rolled out modules in sequence: attendance + biometric integration first, then leaves and approvals, then payroll computation, then employee self-service. Each module shipped to production before the next started.
Mobile-first employee self-service
Frontline workers got a React Native app for clock-in, leave requests, payslip access and HR communication — without forcing them to use desktops.
Statutory compliance automated
PF, ESI, PT, TDS — all computed within the payroll engine. F&F settlement, Form 16 generation and statutory reports run as scheduled jobs.
The result
NextGen Digital Craft HRMS Portal deployed with attendance, leave management, payroll sync, and employee self-service portal.
Payroll processing cut from 3 days to 4 hours, and the monthly reconciliation that used to follow it stopped being necessary.
In the client's words
“Attendance, leave approvals and payroll all moved across module by module, which is the only reason our HR team could absorb it. The monthly payroll run went from three days to about four hours. The employee app took the longest to land — plant staff needed a fortnight before they stopped coming to the HR desk.”
