Supporting operational excellence in complex manufacturing environments
Factory-floor complexity and workforce costs are hard to manage manually
No real-time view of attendance or absence
Without up-to-date data, managers lose time reacting to shortages and gaps.
Outdated scheduling leads to inefficiency
Rostering the wrong people or duplicating skills creates costly delays and underperformance.
Workforce costs are hard to track and control
Manual timesheets and disconnected systems limit visibility of true workforce spend.
Drive factory-floor efficiency with real-time workforce data
Stop wasting time with manual scheduling
Crown helps you assign the right people to the right task based on real-time availability, skills and shift data. You avoid overstaffing, reduce idle time and respond faster to change.
Manage absences before they affect output
Our system flags staff shortages in advance, so you can reallocate resources and maintain production without interruption.
Gain detailed visibility of working time
Crown captures hyper-accurate attendance and absence data, helping you track who worked when and what it cost. That data feeds into job costing, payroll and performance reporting.
Connect workforce data to payroll and HR systems
With seamless integration, you can automate time tracking, streamline admin and avoid errors that affect pay, billing or compliance.
Scale across sites without scaling admin
Crown is designed for complex, multi-site environments. Whether you're managing 500 or 25,000 staff, you get consistent, centralised control of workforce data and scheduling.
