The reality

What makes HR hard in manufacturing

The problems that come up in manufacturing more than anywhere else.
  • Shift-based workforce

    Multiple shift patterns, rotating schedules, and overtime management need scheduling tools that can keep up.

  • Clock-in without personal devices

    Factory floor workers may not carry smartphones. Clock-in needs to be fast, simple, and device-independent.

  • H&S certification tracking

    Forklift licences, first aid, manual handling: certifications that must be current for safety and compliance.

  • Absence impact on production

    Unplanned absence directly impacts production capacity. Early pattern detection is critical.

The answer

How CubeHR handles it

Each of these is a module included in the platform, not a bespoke build.
  1. Kiosk Clock-in

    Tablet kiosks at factory entrances. QR badge scan or PIN entry. Takes seconds, works offline.

  2. Shift Scheduling

    Build and manage rotating shift patterns. Working time regulation compliance checked automatically.

  3. Certification Tracking

    Track forklift, first aid, manual handling, and all H&S certifications. Expiry alerts prevent compliance gaps.

  4. Absence Management

    Bradford Factor alerts identify pattern absences early. Return-to-work interviews documented and tracked.

  5. Reporting

    Overtime reports, absence analytics, and compliance dashboards. Data for production planning and HR strategy.
