Challenge
With operational offices scattered across Jakarta and Yogyakarta, KLAR faces unique challenges in managing employees, HR, and finances. In the past, KLAR relied on manual attendance tracking. The Yogyakarta team punched in with fingerprint scanners, while the Jakarta crew had a bit more flexibility, often clocking in on the go. But come the 2020 pandemic era, the call for digitalization in KLAR's business processes became louder than ever. Without a digital transformation solution, monitoring attendance and payroll became a headache, still stuck in the manual Microsoft Excel era. This setup posed risks of human error and hasty decision-making.
On top of that, financial bookkeeping and inventory management were also manual affairs, as no suitable platform had been found to streamline coordination between the two operational offices. The Yogyakarta production team handled inventory management, while the Jakarta finance team took charge of bookkeeping and reporting. This setup sometimes left KLAR scrambling for accurate data, wasting valuable time on inter-division coordination and making processes less efficient.
