Challenges in the HR management
Before using Mekari Talenta, HR administration at Geofix was still handled manually. Payroll, attendance, and reimbursements relied on physical documents and Excel, making workflows slow and prone to errors. Some of the key challenges included:
- Time-consuming payroll process
Salary calculations based on fingerprints and timesheets could take up to two weeks. Payments were often delayed when they coincided with bank holidays. - Complex reimbursement and leave requests
All requests had to be submitted through paper forms (POM forms), which were collected manually, often delaying approvals. - Scattered and hard-to-access employee data
Employee information was still stored in Excel and physical folders, making it difficult for HR to quickly find data when needed. - Limited internal communication
HR could only send memos to supervisors to be forwarded to their teams. As a result, not all employees received information at the same time. - Lack of HR reports and insights
Important data such as turnover could not be presented quickly in structured reports. - Barriers to digital adoption in the field
Limited internet access at mining sites and senior employees unfamiliar with digital applications posed additional challenges for transformation.
Mekari Talenta as the solution
To address these challenges, Geofix began adopting Mekari Talenta as a centralized HR management system. Payroll processes now run faster and more accurately thanks to automation, reducing the processing time from two weeks to just 3–4 days, along with many other benefits.
On the other hand, employees can directly access their payslips and personal data through the Mekari Talenta application. This not only improves transparency but also reduces the administrative burden on the HR team.
Furthermore, the report builder and insights features enable HR and management to analyze data in real time, such as attendance, tenure, and employee function distribution. Reports can also be customized to meet client needs, including employee records, attendance, as well as tax and BPJS obligations.
Results experienced by Geofix
With the help of Mekari Talenta, Geofix has successfully improved efficiency and transparency in HR management:
- Faster payroll process
Salary calculations that previously took up to two weeks can now be completed in just 3–4 days. - Transparent employee administration
Employees can directly track their attendance, leave, reimbursements, and payslips through the app. - Smoother internal communication
HR can instantly send announcements to all employees without relying on supervisors. - Data-driven HR reports
The interactive dashboard makes it easier for HR to generate quick and accurate reports to support decision-making. - More organized operations
Documents are no longer scattered in Excel or physical folders, as all employee data is stored in one centralized system. - Higher employee satisfaction
Administrative tasks are more practical, and even senior employees are now accustomed to the digital system and find Mekari Talenta’s features helpful.
“The announcement feature in Talenta is very helpful. In the past we had to use email or hard copies, but now we can simply share it in Talenta and all employees immediately receive a notification.”
Geofix’s perspective on Mekari Talenta
The implementation of Mekari Talenta has brought real change for Geofix. This transformation not only improves efficiency and internal communication but also provides greater transparency and a simpler administrative experience for all employees, making Geofix better prepared to face the challenges of the mining industry.
