HR and payroll software for factories and production lines

A factory's HR problem is mostly a volume problem. A few hundred operators on three rotating shifts produce thousands of punches a week, and each one has to be matched to the right shift before anyone can say who was late, who left early and who worked extra. When that matching happens in a spreadsheet, it is done in a rush at month-end by someone who wasn't on the floor. Nexa People does it as the punches arrive. Biometric terminals push each punch to the system, and every day is judged against that person's shift, its grace time and its rules, so the record is already clean when payroll needs it.

Pay in manufacturing rarely comes from one source. A machine operator might earn a daily wage, overtime on a Sunday shutdown and a piece rate on top. Nexa People keeps these apart until the payslip brings them together. Overtime is paid only from approved requests, at the rate you set for each category. Piece work is recorded per worker and item, priced from a catalogue and approved before it can be paid. Payroll setups let hourly and daily-wage workers run on one schedule while monthly staff run on another, each with its own deduction rules.

Shift work also creates a steady flow of small requests. A worker forgot to punch out after a double shift. Two operators want to swap from night to day. A gate queue after a power cut made a whole team late, and the lateness should be excused. In Nexa People each of these is a request with its own approval chain of up to five levels, and nobody can approve their own. Once approved, the record updates itself. Penalty rules can handle repeat lateness by deducting from leave balances, so the policy is applied the same way on every line.

Factories hire in batches and lose people steadily, so onboarding and exits matter as much as payroll. Nexa People imports a new intake from the spreadsheet you already have and lists exactly which details each person still owes, instead of refusing rows. Each new joiner gets a checklist with owners and due dates, and their documents move from pending to verified before the first payroll. When someone leaves, the exit is recorded once, clearance is queued and the final settlement is calculated from live pay, leave and loan data.

Plant managers and finance teams need numbers they can trust without asking HR for them. Nexa People includes 100 live reports across HR, attendance, leave and payroll, filtered by station, department, cost centre and shift, and a dashboard with a live in-and-out feed. Any report can be emailed as a CSV on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. If you'd rather ask, the Nexa AI agent answers questions such as who has missing punches this week, using your permissions, and asks before it changes anything.
