The Challenge:
For Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, the lack of a centralized workforce management system was a challenge. The company used a variety of systems and processes across its many locations, preventing managers from gaining real-time insight into labor trends, costs, and requirements. They relied heavily on a variety of manual processes to handle complex time and labor functions, which led to inefficient time tracking and record keeping. Smurfit-Stone’s scheduling processes were not optimized to ensure the allocation of the right employees to the right positions at the right time.
Solution:
Smurfit-Stone chose Workbrain to unify and streamline its enterprise-wide workforce management processes for more than 30,000 employees in all of the company’s facilities in North America. Workbrain allows Smurfit-Stone to quickly and easily schedule employees and track employee time, attendance and activities in a single web-based solution.
Benefits:
Implementation of the Workbrain platform allows Smurfit-Stone to benefit from a complete enterprise workforce management solution that will enable the company to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance decision-making.
