A SharePoint Intranet Success Story

Revolutionizing Employee Management in the Manufacturing Industry

Background

In the intricate world of manufacturing, managing a workforce effectively is not just beneficial, it’s a regulatory imperative.

Our client, a forward-thinking manufacturing factory employing a dedicated staff of 150, was grappling with outdated and disparate systems for managing employee data—a situation that created significant compliance and efficiency challenges.

The hurdles that lay before the client were

Two Critical Challenges

1. Regulatory Compliance

With industry standards demanding meticulous oversight of employees’ certifications and operational permits, non-compliance could lead to severe penalties, operational shutdowns, or worse, jeopardize employee safety.

2. Data Discrepancies

Reliance on Excel spreadsheets and physical filing systems resulted in a fragmented data landscape, characterized by inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and inefficiencies, exposing the organization to compliance risks and operational bottlenecks.

Our Solution

Our bespoke SharePoint Intranet solution was far-reaching and multifaceted:

1. Centralized Employee Registry

We constructed a single, searchable, and secure database within SharePoint, simplifying the way the client stored and accessed vital employee information such as certifications, training records, and safety qualifications.

2. Advanced Document Management

We automated the update and management processes for employee records, establishing a system where documentation could be continuously updated, with revisions tracked and archived for auditing purposes.

3. Automated Notification System

We equipped the client with a robust notification framework that issued reminders about certification expirations and training needs to both management and staff, ensuring continuous compliance and professional development.

4. Enhanced Search and Assignment Functions

By integrating advanced search capabilities, management could swiftly match employee qualifications to job requirements, optimizing workforce allocation, and task assignments.

The only place where you’ll get the perfect solution for all your industry needs.
