Transforming Supply Chain Functions with Payroll & Compliance
BACKGROUND
A leading logistics company in India, with warehouses located in semi-urban and remote areas, needed to bring consistency and compliance to its workforce management. The operations required a large base of loaders, unloaders, and picker-packers, roles that were critical to day-to-day supply chain functions and overall functions of supply chain management.
Initially, the company relied on local vendors to manage payroll and compliance for its associates. However, this fragmented approach created significant challenges. The company was exposed to compliance risks, faced operational inefficiencies, and employees often struggled with salary-related issues. Managing payroll in remote operations also added complexity, making it essential to find a credible partner who could streamline processes, ensure adherence to regulatory norms, and provide a stable, scalable framework for workforce management.
ISSUES
The client’s dependence on multiple local vendors led to mounting compliance and payroll challenges:
- Regulatory lapses and fines from government authorities due to non-standard processes.
- Salary delays and discrepancies for workers are affecting morale and retention.
- Inconsistent practices across vendors result in poor visibility and a lack of control.
- Complexity in remote warehouse operations, where local labour regulations require strict compliance.
- Compliance-first approach: Aligning payroll, documentation, and workforce management with all statutory laws.
- Internal alignment: Standardised processes: Bringing consistency and uniformity across all locations. Explore more in this whitepaper
