When it comes to managing a diverse manufacturing business that caters to industries ranging from aerospace to medical, efficiency and precision aren’t just goals—they are necessities. A company with two decades of experience in high-precision manufacturing was about to experience a breakthrough in its administrative and management operations, thanks to a state-of-the-art time-tracking solution: QuickBooks Time.
The productivity dilemma in high-precision manufacturing
This seasoned manufacturing company is adept at utilizing advanced technology to produce cutting-edge products across multiple industries. However, as the company transitioned between workforce management systems, they found themselves at odds with a time-tracking system that could not keep pace with their needs. They required a system that supports multiple shifts, tracks employee breaks in compliance with stringent state labor laws, and allows for both automated and manual time-tracking abilities.
The quest for a tailored time-tracking system
The goal was simple yet critical: find a time-tracking solution that provided operational agility without compromising compliance or workforce management efficiency. The needs were specific, among them the ability to:
Allow employees to clock in easily, even through a kiosk system.
Track diverse shifts, including recurring ones, across all three shifts employees worked.
Ensure meal breaks are recorded accurately, staying within the state’s labor regulations.
Assign unique login PINs to employees for secure and quick access.
Allow for manual time entry and edits when automatic systems just don't fit the bill.
