Systems for Plant, Depot and Field
Three operations that rarely share a system.
What this coversHideFMCG businesses typically run a plant system, a depot process and a field-force app that do not reconcile, so headcount and cost are assembled manually every month.
Plant and depot
- Shift and skill capture
- Contract labour handled distinctly
- Statutory records and registers
Field force
- Mobile attendance and beat adherence
- Territory and beat assignment on the record
- Incentive and claim processing
- Expense settlement without paper
Expense and claim settlement is the field-force capability with the clearest return, because delayed claims are a leading cause of field attrition and the delay is almost entirely process.
The general method — what hr technology and automation covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr process automation page. What is above is the part that differs for fmcg and consumer goods.
