PT. Siwani Makmur Tbk. opens new chapter in its Human Resource administration with SunFish HR

August 2005, Jakarta - DataOn announces that PT. Siwani Makmur Tbk. formerly known as Van der Horst Indonesia Tbk. manufacturer of plastic, printing and other packaging industries has selected DataOn's SunFish HR Professional Version to innovate their, still manual, time intensive Human Resource (HR) administration. The company faced increasing difficulties in keeping up with tracking processes and activities related to their HR as it doesn’t have a system in place to record or process the simplest and most routine duties such as payroll and time & attendance. As a publicly listed company Siwani Makmur is obliged to transparency in all its operations and spending. Even more so the company is preparing for an ISO certification and requires complete transparency its entire HR structure.

As the company started to shift its HR focus towards employee performance evaluation, longer-term employee development strategies and alignment of employee career planning with the company’s goals HR became an important cornerstone in Siwani Makmur’s vision. 

These goals, transparency requirements and long-term employee development forced Siwani Makmur to consider a major change in their human resource administration. The company wanted to follow a more modern and innovative approach that leaves its HR staff enough time to carry out all HR related tasks including strategic planning.
 
At the end of a comprehensive vendor selection process Siwani Makmur decided for SunFish HR for several reasons. The main factor was that SunFish HR covered all areas of administrative to strategic HR functions needed to overhaul their HR processes in one single solution. The solution’s payroll automation; integration with time & attendance data; provision of all strategic features for performance appraisals and competency tracking made it the ideal match to Siwani Makmur’s requirements. Also the product’s web-based nature and scalability to accommodate future needs were reasons for the decision.

With its new HR solution, PT. Siwani Makmur Tbk. opens a new chapter in its HR administration. With minimal time to be invested in administrative and data collection duties, HR will be empowered to implement farsighted personnel strategy that directly connects the value their employees and the company’s bottom line.
