About PT Expravet Nasuba
PT Expravet Nasuba, a subsidiary of the Mabar Group, is a manufacturing company that operates in the poultry and fish processing industry. Established in 1981, the company has become a pioneer in the poultry sector in North Sumatra, standing strong for over 30 years with a commitment to improving public nutrition through high-quality animal protein. Today, PT Expravet Nasuba employs a substantial workforce of around 600 people.
Challenges in HR management
“As a manufacturing company, one of our challenges is managing a large number of employees.”
With a workforce of around 600, Mr. Hasman faces the challenge of managing this significant volume of employees efficiently within a limited time, with a relatively small HR team. Before adopting Mekari Talenta, PT Expravet Nasuba relied on manual processes to handle HR operations, including attendance tracking and payroll processing. This time-consuming process was highly prone to errors, increasing the risk of inaccuracies in payroll calculations.
“We used a manual, computerized system, mainly Excel. This led to frequent payroll calculation issues since everything was done manually.”
The complexities of HR management at this large-scale manufacturing company are not minor. PT Expravet Nasuba needs to carefully calculate payroll based on employee performance factors such as attendance, overtime, and shift work. In addition, the company manages third-party, or outsourced, employees, further complicating the HR processes.
Mekari Talenta as the solution
Since implementing Mekari Talenta, Mr. Hasman’s HR team, though limited in size, has managed to oversee 600 employees far more efficiently. Mekari Talenta simplifies HR operations through automated data collection, compilation, and processing, benefiting both the HR team and employees.
From the employees’ perspective, Mr. Hasman explained, attendance is now more convenient with the Mekari Talenta app available on smartphones. Meanwhile, the HR team also finds significant value in the system, as attendance data is automatically compiled without the need for manual verification, thanks to photo and GPS records saved in the system upon clock-in.
Processing attendance data, including overtime data for payroll, has also become much easier, eliminating the need for manual calculations, minimizing errors, and boosting accountability.
Beyond operational automation, PT Expravet Nasuba also appreciates other benefits of Mekari Talenta, like the flexibility to tailor the system to company needs. For instance, in terms of attendance requirements, mobile attendance with GPS verification is only used for employees working offsite, such as sales and marketing. Meanwhile, employees working in the office still use fingerprint and face recognition systems, which integrate with Mekari Talenta.
Regarding employee categories, PT Expravet Nasuba employs outsourced workers who, though managed by a third party, can still be managed within Mekari Talenta without issues. To support this management, each division has a dedicated admin responsible for overseeing outsourced employees.

Efficient HR management for 600 employees
With a limited HR team, PT Expravet Nasuba can still manage 600 employees effectively, thanks to Mekari Talenta. This automation solution helps the HR team streamline various operational processes, like data collection and attendance compilation, allowing them to handle large workforce demands without adding more staff. This enables the HR team to focus on other strategic tasks while ensuring accuracy and efficiency in HR management.
Reducing payroll processing time by 7 days
Before using Mekari Talenta, payroll processing at PT Expravet Nasuba took a long time due to multiple manual steps, including detailed attendance verification. With Mekari Talenta’s automated system, payroll processing time has been reduced by up to 7 days. This time savings ensures payroll is completed faster, more accurately, and aligns with the expected payroll period.
“Now, with Mekari Talenta, we can save about a week. The cut-off was on the 21st before; now we can make it on the 29th.”
Adaptable to changing needs and regulations
One of Mekari Talenta’s main strengths is its high flexibility, allowing PT Expravet Nasuba to adapt the system according to company needs. For example, the company can configure attendance methods for different employee categories, such as mobile attendance for field employees and fingerprint recognition for factory staff. Mekari Talenta also makes it easy to adjust to labor regulation changes, keeping HR processes running smoothly even with new regulations or requirements.
