Background and challenges

Before the implementation of quarksUp, HR management was based on manual and decentralized processes : paper forms, multiple email exchanges, and archiving in physical filing cabinets. Each hire required several hours of processing, absences were managed using paper forms that had to be signed and handed in, and there was a lack of overall visibility across teams.

The main challenges were clear:

Modernize and simplify HR and payroll processes
Centralize multi-company HR management and eliminate paper
Empower managers to monitor absences and activity
Reduce processing times and make payroll more reliable
Improve information traceability and autonomy for employees and HR

The quarksUp solution

MJM Graphic Design chose quarksUp for its functional cover and modular approach. "We were able to roll it out gradually, at our own pace, which was reassuring." Leidy Riner, Group Payroll Manager, MJM Graphic Design.

The teams first implemented the HR File, Absences and Times (partner solution). In a second phase, the Onboarding module was deployed to automate and streamline the management of new hires.

Today, every employee has a personal portal to manage their absences, view their documents, and update their personal data. Managers, meanwhile, have a consolidated view of their teams and schedules.

The HR team manages all employee files from the same secure environment, ensuring that data is always up to date and compliance is controlled.

"Regardless of your role—HR, manager, or employee—quarksUp saves everyone time. Now I'm equipped to find solutions for the entire group."
