Manufacturers must balance the complexities of large-scale production, fluctuating costs, and tight supply chain timelines—all while meeting stringent industry regulations. These challenges require precision and efficiency at every level of the organisation.
Workday can transform your manufacturing costs by unifying your HR, finance, and data on a single platform. However, simply implementing Workday is not enough.
Getting the most out of Workday and achieving your organisational goals requires industry knowledge and deep Workday optimisation expertise.
At Preos, we understand these challenges. We partner with global manufacturers to tailor Workday to their specific needs and goals— ensuring they maximise their investment and get more from Workday.
We’re helping our manufacturing clients overcome common challenges including:
- Workday support and upskilling internal teams through Workday Enhancement Services
- Integrating complex payroll systems
- Delivery and compliance against EU time reporting
- Rolling out new Workday functionality
Explore how optimising Workday can help you tackle your challenges and drive better results.
How can manufacturers maximise value with Workday optimisation?
IMPROVING WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT TO ADDRESS LABOUR SHORTAGES
Manufacturing companies face labour shortages, especially in skilled roles. Workday’s HCM capabilities can be optimised to streamline recruitment, accelerate onboarding, and manage shift schedules more effectively. By leveraging People Analytics, manufacturers can identify skill gaps, reduce turnover, and retain top talent, ensuring they have the workforce needed to meet production demands.
MANAGING DIVERSE CONTRACT TYPES AND PAY STRUCTURES
Employing a mix of full-time, part-time, and zero-hour contract workers, each with unique pay structures, benefits, and leave entitlements requires Workday to be configured to your organisational needs. Workday can be configured to accurately manage these complexities, ensuring compliance with payroll and benefits requirements and reducing administrative overhead.
BREAK DOWN SILOS
Many manufacturing organisations still rely on legacy systems. By optimising Workday, you can consolidate data into a single source of truth. This enhances visibility, improves data accuracy, and enables faster decision-making. With Workday’s analytics tools, you can run scenario planning and what-if analyses to anticipate market changes and adjust strategies.
AUTOMATE COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING
Manufacturers must adhere to strict regulatory standards and safety protocols across multiple locations and current EU time-tracking reporting needs are complex and varied. We help clients automate the process. Workday can be optimised to automate compliance tracking, manage safety certifications, and streamline regulatory reporting. This reduces manual processes, ensures data accuracy, and helps avoid costly penalties. With automated workflows, manufacturers can focus on maintaining a safe work environment while staying compliant.
TRAIN FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TECHNOLOGICAL ABILITIES
Adopting Workday requires careful change management, especially for a diverse workforce with varying tech familiarity. The scale and diversity of teams can make transitions challenging, and resistance to new technology is common. Preos drives high adoption rates through targeted strategies, ensuring everyone—from younger, tech-savvy workers to employees with less digital experience- gets the training and support they need to maximise the use and value of Workday.
WORKDAY ENHANCEMENT SERVICES (WES)
Workday Enhancement Services (WES) is a smarter alternative to traditional AMS. Beyond daily troubleshooting, WES drives greater value from your Workday investment. It provides root cause analysis, smooth release management, and backlog reduction while upskilling your team.
