Where manufacturers start
Shift rosters and attendance
Three-shift rosters, overtime, and attendance from biometric or mobile check-in.
Statutory payroll
PF, ESI and TDS with state-wise reports; see payroll.
Stores and spares
Reorder levels for spares and consumables, issue to cost centres, barcode counts.
Inter-plant transfers
Stock transfer orders with in-transit tracking.
Field service engineers
Work orders, routes and service reports in Fieldera.
Plant-wise MIS
Headcount cost, attendance and stock value by plant.
Typical problems in plant operations
Supervisors keep rosters on whiteboards and attendance on spreadsheets, which leads to overtime disputes. Spares are reordered only when a machine stops. Contract workers are paid from separate records that do not match the gate register. Each of these is a data problem that a connected HR and stores system solves without changing how the plant actually works.
Why one vendor helps here
Manufacturers often find that headcount cost and stock value are reported from systems that disagree. Because Talent Plus and Inventory Plus share masters for plants, departments and cost centres, plant-wise reports reconcile without manual work. See ICE for how the products connect.

A typical first phase for a two-plant manufacturer
| Area | Phase one | Later |
|---|---|---|
| Workforce | Employee master, rosters, attendance | Payroll, recruitment, appraisals |
| Stores | Item master, stock, reorder levels | Vendor management, inter-plant transfers |
| Service | — | Fieldera for service engineers |
| Reporting | Attendance and stock dashboards | Plant-wise cost reports |
What success looks like after six months
Plant HR closes attendance without spreadsheets, overtime disputes fall because employees can see their own records, and the stores team reorders from system thresholds rather than from emergency calls. Finance values stock on any day without a physical count. These are modest, concrete changes, and they are the ones manufacturers tell us matter.
