Sprimoglass: Modernising Workforce Management and Payroll with Chroligo, an All-in-One HR Solution

Sprimoglass is a leading glass manufacturer with over 130 years of experience in the industry. Sprimoglass operates in a sector characterised by variable production volumes and fluctuating workforce requirements; however, Sprimoglass relied on ad hoc and inefficient staff planning methods involving Excel spreadsheets, manual HR inputs, and unreliable attendance systems.

This fragmented approach damaged productivity:

• Causing inconsistencies in payroll processing and strained HR and frontline teams.
• Absenteeism tracking was unreliable, and shift planning lacked transparency.
• High error rates due to manual data entry in multiple systems
• More importantly, leadership lacked visibility and control.

As a result, inconsistent staffing decisions directly impacted production capacity and operational costs.

To address the challenges of Sprimoglass, Faktion developed Chroligo, an all-in-one SaaS platform, tailored to the needs of modern manufacturing operations. The solution seamlessly bridges people planning, attendance control, and payroll into one unified system across Sprimogroup’s companies and sites, eliminating the need for disjointed tools or manual processes.

The key components of the solution are:

• Centralised Workforce Management:
  • Comprehensive storage of detailed employee records, including contracts, historical performance data, individual attendances, absences and skills to support skill-based planning and performance follow-up.
  • Customisable creation and management of shifts, specialised attendances, absences, Custom closing days, and timesheets.
  • Configurable workplace quotas ensure optimal staffing levels based on each site’s needs.
  • Enables detailed, individual-level and workplace-level planning of employee shifts and roles.
  • Supports assignment and tracking of trainer-trainee pairs at the workplace level.
• AI Planning Engine: automatically allocates personnel based on workplace needs and employee competencies, continuously adjusting for real-time changes such as absenteeism or peak workloads
• Touchless Time and Attendance System through computer vision with anomaly detection:
  • ensuring accurate time tracking at check-in and check-out during COVID-19 times, unrecognised individuals, unplanned attendances, undertime, and overtime occurrences, etc, directly linked to payroll calculations.
  • Real-time presence overview for enhanced workplace safety, ensuring immediate visibility for emergency procedures like fire safety.
• Advanced Payroll Administration:
  • Translates validated work hours and shift data into payroll-ready output, minimising errors and removing the need for double data entry
  • Seamless integration with SD Worx for efficient payroll processing.
• Custom Reporting: Robust reporting capabilities tailored to specific operational and HR needs, providing actionable insights and enhancing decision-making.
• Employee Self-Service App empowers staff to manage availability, absences, and holiday requests while providing a transparent view of shift schedules and accumulated overtime

Chroligo empowers Sprimoglass with a scalable, configurable, and centralised solution, facilitating both detailed, site-level workforce management and overarching operational visibility.

The collaboration followed a fast-paced and iterative delivery approach, driven by Faktion’s methodology of combining deep AI expertise with agile product development.

Key elements included:

• Scoping & Discovery: Business needs were translated into digital workflows through joint whiteboard sessions with HR, operations, and shop floor leads.
• Rapid prototyping of the core application logic, integrating facial recognition hardware and workforce data flows
• Iterative testing with frontline teams to validate usability, performance, and alignment with production workflows
• Seamless integration with the client’s payroll provider and existing HR tools via secure APIs and data links

Faktion’s engineering team worked closely with Sprimoglass operations, HR, and IT stakeholders to develop a future-proof product that gives Sprimoglass a competitive advantage and achieves user adoption and alignment with real-world needs. The result was a robust, no-code platform deployable across any production environment with minimal setup time.
