Unleash the power of your HR and payroll data

SpinifexIT continues to provide the solutions companies need to make the retrieval of vital employee data faster, better, and easier. Having access to these vital information on-demand allows our customers to save time and focus on more important business processes that add value to their organization.

A global manufacturing company struggled with reproducing their reports from their previous payroll system. Here’s how SpinifexIT helped solve their problem.

The Challenge

Mohawk Industries committed to modernizing their green screen payroll solution by moving to SAP S/4 HANA for their North America based operations of approximately 21,000 employees.

Early on in the project, their implementation partner identified a potential gap in terms of their reporting requirements.

Their existing SAP Payroll Reporting capabilities lacked the functionality to reproduce the reports they were accustomed to receiving on their previous system.

The Solution

Enter SpinifexIT and our Easy Reporter solution. Easy Reporter not only reports on payroll, posting, time and benefits in SAP, it also includes the ability to extract Employee Central Data for payroll-based reports.

Through a strong proof of concept, SpinifexIT installed the software onsite and within three days, proved to Mohawk Industries that Easy Reporter can create their required reports.

Testimonial

“When we went live, we chose SpinifexIT as they had the more robust solution. Having the ability to report Employee Central Data with our Payroll and GL data was key. We’ve been live with the solution for 9 months now and we are very pleased with the outcomes.”
