Case study

Manufacturer

Time clock, ERP, and benefits.

The client is not named. What remains is the operational problem and the solution.

The operation

A manufacturer with a time clock for attendance and an ERP for payroll and job records. Office staff close payroll on a fixed cycle. Benefits and allowances are tracked outside the ERP today.

The problem

The same hours are typed twice.

Two people re-key hours from the time clock into the ERP on payroll day.
Benefits and allowances live in spreadsheets, with a heavy review step every quarter.
On the floor, the same production record is written down more than once and never becomes a report.

The solution

Keep the time clock and the ERP. Close the gap between them, then decide whether floor scanning is worth a pilot.

Solution

Reviewed hours post from the time clock into the ERP on a schedule, with an exception list and a log.
Benefits and allowances move out of the spreadsheet into a review step people can run every month if they choose.
Scanning on the floor is a later pilot, after the payroll link is in place, not a completed rollout.

We prove the payroll link first. Floor production tracking follows only when the return is clear.
