Together with Partner PT. IndoConsult Utama, DataOn wins PT. Comexindo International as latest SunFish HRO customer

May 2007, Jakarta – DataOn announces that PT. Comexindo International (referred to as Comexindo) will be the latest customer to rely on DataOn’s newly available SunFish HR Outsourcing package to handle personnel administration, time & attendance and payroll management including reimbursements claims. The sales process was led by DataOn’s partner PT. IndoConsult Utama, who built the relationship with Comexindo and paved the way for this HR Outsourcing project. For more information about PT. IndoConsult read www.indoconsult.com. 

Palm Oil producing and distributing company PT. Comexindo International has plans to expand its operation into various businesses including corn plantation for feedstock in West Java and, in the very near future, palm plantation in Kalimantan. This expansion poses a significant growth in the employees as well, encompassing multiple areas in Jakarta, West Java and Kalimantan.

For Comexindo this growth in employee numbers translated mainly into payroll concerns and the question how to accommodate such growth in terms of ensuring accuracy and compliance, specifically to tax handling regulations. Other questions were: how to avoid tedious and time intensive administrative works, e.g. data entry, calculation, verification, and printing; how to timely and correctly process payroll and tax, while ensuring regulatory compliance; how to handle different tax filing offices for each region for the calculation; how to handle employee relocations or transfers across tax regions in respect of payroll tax calculation, etc.

Comexindow decided that the solution was to underpin their crucial HR processes with technology that is designed to support companies with efficient data management and by standard embeds compliance to Indonesian tax and payroll calculation rules. PT. IndoConsult took that approach one step further by suggesting an outsourcing solution for payroll and related time/attendance as well employee information processes in order to keep the level of technology and maintenance investment in good cost-benefit-ratio.

Comexindo decided for SunFish Payroll Outsourcing and for utilizing DataOn’s HR software and service experience to streamline their core HR processes and workflows. This way the company can avoid substantial IT investments in software and hardware and overheads of managing, supporting and maintaining both as the solution is hosted at DataOn’s datacenters and all maintenance is taken care of by DataOn employees.

Entrusting DataOn with the hosting will benefits the company in several ways, including:
1.  Reduced HR Processing costs: because processes and workflows are centralized while
     DataOn’s seven years HR experience resulted in an advanced HR solution with which
     Comexindo can be certain to follow all kinds of requirements of Indonesian regulations
2.  IT procurement/ management saving: utilizing DataOn’s extensive investment and
     know-how saves Comexindo time and money in search of a right technology, and
     reduces financial risk of technological obsolescence as that responsibility lies with DataOn.
3.  Transparency & accountability: with one DataOn as single vendor providing software,
     hardware, hosting, etc. all services become transparent and accountable, including
     DataOn’s responsibility of resolving inquiries and questions.
