Automated Payroll & Compliance for a Large-Scale Exporter

Client Overview: Equiplus India

Equiplus India, based in Kanpur, is a premier 100% export-oriented manufacturer specializing in sports, equestrian, and pet accessories. Operating out of a 160,000 sq. ft. vertically integrated plant, Equiplus manages a massive production capacity of 450,000 units per month.

• Industry: Equestrian & Sports Accessory Manufacturing (Export-Oriented)

• Location: Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India

• Tech Stack: Frappe HRMS, Frappe Framework (Low-code), Progressive Web App (PWA), Biometric API Integration

The Challenge: HR Complexity in High-Volume Manufacturing

As Equiplus scaled, their manual human capital management processes created fragmented data streams and high operational risks.

Critical Pain Points:

• Multi-Tier Workforce: Managing four distinct categories (Bank, Monthly Cash, Daily Wage, and Trainees) made payroll a logistical nightmare.

• Manual Attendance Logic: Tracking hyper-specific rules (e.g., penalties for the 3rd late entry) manually led to frequent disputes.

• Deduction Discrepancies: A major flaw existed where deductions were calculated against CTC instead of Gross Salary, posing compliance risks.

• Data Blind Spots: Lack of centralized insights into attrition, labor costs, and leave liabilities.

The Solution: A Bespoke HRMS Powered by Frappe

Auriga IT architected a specialized HR and Payroll solution using the Frappe HRMS framework. This low-code approach allowed for rapid deployment of a custom-fit system without the rigidity of off-the-shelf software.

Key Pillars of the Digital Transformation:

1. Biometric Integration & Automated Attendance

We linked the HRMS directly to on-site biometric devices. The system now automatically applies complex late-entry and short-leave policies, displaying real-time counts on a stakeholder dashboard.
