SOLUTIONS
The client sought to establish a fully digital work environment by comprehensively modernizing HR operations at their new advanced manufacturing unit. Recognizing that manual HR processes were incompatible with their advanced manufacturing ambitions, they partnered with Aligned Automation to eliminate legacy workflows and address the following critical challenges:

1. Fragmented Data Architecture: Onboarding data was scattered across disconnected Excel spreadsheets, paper forms, email threads, and departmental systems with no single source of truth. This fragmentation caused significant version conflicts, duplicate entries, data inconsistencies, and consumed at least 2 days of manual reconciliation effort per new hire, creating substantial delays in workforce readiness and preventing timely access to critical HR information.
2. Inconsistent Process Execution: Onboarding checklists and requirements varied significantly by hiring manager and department, with each stakeholder maintaining different templates and tracking methods. This decentralized, ad-hoc approach created serious compliance risks, resulted in missed critical onboarding steps, prevented standardization across the organization, and made it impossible for HR leadership to monitor new hire readiness, identify process gaps, or ensure consistent employee experiences.
3. Manual Request Management: Training and educational assistance requests relied entirely on paper forms and email chains requiring manual routing through multiple approval layers with no centralized tracking or visibility. Employees had no way to check request status, managers lacked tools to monitor pending approvals, and HR couldn't analyze training investment patterns, ensure budget compliance, or identify skills development trends across the organization.
