Prior to implementing KAMI Workforce’s tailored HR solutions, Harbor Star Shipping grappled with labor-intensive manual attendance tracking and the management of remote work arrangements. These outdated processes were incredibly time-consuming, leading to a substantial drain on resources and processing time.
As remote work became more prevalent, the need for an efficient system to manage attendance and monitor work-from-home (WFH) activities became imperative.
In addition to attendance and WFH management, Harbor Star Shipping found themselves burdened by the time-consuming nature of leave management and related HR activities. These manual processes absorbed a significant portion of their administrative staff’s time, diverting them from more strategic tasks. This inefficiency was a clear hindrance to the organization’s overall productivity.
One of the most pressing issues was Harbor Star Shipping’s manual payroll process, which was riddled with errors and vulnerability to potential fraud. Inaccurate payroll calculations led to employee dissatisfaction and even legal compliance issues, posing a considerable challenge.
The manual payroll system at Harbor Star Shipping frequently resulted in payment delays, causing employee frustration, particularly for employees who depended on timely payroll disbursements. Payroll timeliness was essential, and the organization needed a solution to streamline this process.
Harbor Star Shipping adopted KAMI Attendance, a flexible, real-time attendance system designed to align seamlessly with their unique attendance policies. The solution brought several advantages:

KAMI’s tailored solutions have helped Harbor Star Shipping to transform their attendance tracking and payroll processes. Are you ready to take the first step towards your HR transformation?
Manila Polo Club was burdened by an outdated paper-based attendance and leave approval system. Employees had to submit physical attendance sheets, causing data entry headaches and a lack of real-time visibility. HR staff struggled with paperwork, causing delays in processing leave requests.
Frequent last-minute changes to employee schedules led to payroll chaos. HR and payroll teams found it challenging to keep up, resulting in payroll inaccuracies and delays. These issues frustrated employees, eroding trust in the payroll processes.
Reconciling manual DTRs with external payroll processing posed significant challenges. This disjointed process led to extended payroll lead times and discrepancies between DTR data and the final payroll figures. The lack of integration between these crucial workforce management components caused inefficiencies and reduced overall productivity.
We introduced a cutting-edge timekeeping system that empowers Manila Polo Club to efficiently manage their workforce. This system offers dynamic scheduling capabilities, allowing supervisors and managers to adapt swiftly to last-minute changes. Employees can effortlessly submit their availability and preferences, streamlining the scheduling process.
What’s more, the highly-configurable nature of the system ensures it can be tailored precisely to meet the unique needs of Manila Polo Club, providing a seamless fit.
To tackle attendance tracking challenges, we implemented KAMI Payroll, an advanced attendance system. This innovative system captures attendance requests and amendments in real-time, eliminating the need for cumbersome paper-based processes and reducing the likelihood of errors. With instantaneous integration into the payroll system, any attendance changes are accurately reflected in payroll calculations.
This real-time integration significantly enhances the accuracy and timeliness of payroll processing, ultimately boosting employee trust and satisfaction.
