About the Business

Steatite Ltd is “a market leader in the design, manufacture and supply of a range of rugged technology, including portable and industrial embedded computing, integrated computer systems, custom lithium battery packs, secure communication systems, antennas, and imaging technologies, with a particular emphasis on specialist and harsh operational environments.”

The organisation employs 250+ people and uses RotaOne across four production sites to manage time and attendance and overtime claims for production staff.

Chapter 2 of 6

The Challenge

Steatite Ltd faced significant challenges due to multiple disconnected systems being used across different sites. This resulted in no clear, consistent, or systemic audit trail for overtime, as well as delays around payroll processing.

After successfully using Horizon (RotaOne’s predecessor) at their Crewkerne site, Steatite Ltd explored a centralised Time & Attendance solution for all sites.

The Solution

Implementing RotaOne provided Steatite Ltd with real-time visibility and a single, centralised system for managing attendance and overtime.

According to the team, RotaOne “records actual attendance in real time and allows managers to maintain a live system to manage overtime and absence.”

Testimonial

“From training to set up to day-to-day use, RotaOne has been easy and editable and has certainly made monitoring and managing overtime and absence across different sites with different working patterns and hours much easier, more consistent and auditable than before.”
