The Challenges We Address in Manufacturing Workforce Management
Traditional methods may involve manual tracking of employee hours, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Our digital system automates this process, ensuring accurate and efficient time capture at access points to help you manage payroll and labor costs more effectively.
Ensuring that only authorized personnel can access certain areas within your facility is crucial for safety and security. friendlyway’s automated access management system enforces restrictions based on shifts, zones, or specific job roles, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Manufacturing industries often have strict regulatory requirements regarding safety, labor laws, and environmental standards. Our integrated system helps ensure all workers have the necessary certifications and training by automating compliance checks and maintaining digital records.
Manual shift planning can be inefficient and inflexible. friendlyway’s automated system enhances the ability to schedule labor based on real-time demand, worker availability, and skill requirements, which optimizes your workforce utilization and reduces operational bottlenecks.
A lack of real-time data can hinder decision-making. Automated attendance and activity reports generated by our system provide immediate insights into your workforce performance, absenteeism, and other critical metrics, allowing for timely adjustments and improved productivity.
friendlyway’s solutions facilitate better communication between your workforce and management. For instance, instant approvals and notifications via digital platforms keep everyone informed and aligned with the operational goals.
In case of emergencies, it is crucial to know who is on-site and where. Our sophisticated access management system tracks the presence and location of workers in real time, enhancing your ability to respond effectively during emergencies.

Finally, scheduling software with forecasting tools can help proactively plan staffing needs under changing production goals and fluctuating demands.
