In this story, Mr. Ahmed bin Abdulmonem Al-Harbi, HR Director at Cosmoplast, shares how Jisr helped them overcome these challenges and achieve a successful digital transformation.

The Challenges
As a large industrial company, Cosmoplast faced several HR challenges that affected operational efficiency, including:
- Employee data scattered across multiple departments, making it difficult to access a reliable and up-to-date source of information.
- Payroll processing done manually, leading to delays in salary disbursement and a higher risk of errors.
- Weak attendance tracking and inefficient fingerprint systems, resulting in inaccurate work-hour records.
- Difficulty ensuring compliance with government regulations such as Social Insurance (GOSI) and the Wage Protection System (WPS).
- Lower productivity due to traditional paper-based processes, which impacted employee satisfaction and slowed transactions.
The Solutions
Our adoption of Jisr wasn’t just a system change — it was a strategic transformation that significantly boosted our daily HR operations.
- Centralized Employee Data Management: Before Jisr, obtaining accurate employee data was a real challenge due to scattered records across departments. Now, all information is updated and accessible from a single platform.
- Automated Payroll with Speed and Accuracy: We used to spend days preparing payroll due to manual data verification. Now, 90% of that effort is automated, and we only need to perform a final review before execution. Thanks to Jisr’s integration with GOSI and the Mudad platform, payroll preparation is more accurate, faster, and ensures full compliance with WPS, greatly reducing errors.
- Improved Attendance Management: Our old attendance system lacked accuracy, and fingerprint tracking was ineffective. With Jisr, attendance is now fully automated, more precise, and seamlessly linked to payroll calculations based on actual working hours.
- Simplified Routine Tasks through Self-Service: Jisr’s self-service portal and mobile app allowed employees to submit requests — such as leave or administrative entitlements — anytime, anywhere. This reduced the HR team’s workload and sped up approvals.
- Accurate Reports and Analytics for Decision-Making: Real-time dashboards and reports gave management a clear view of employee performance and operational costs, empowering better strategic decisions.
- Full Compliance with Local Regulations: Direct integration with government systems made compliance easier and reduced legal risks. Being a locally developed system aligned with Saudi labor laws and GOSI requirements was a key reason for choosing Jisr.
- Enhanced Productivity and Employee Satisfaction: With Jisr, employees became more aware of their rights and responsibilities, with easy access to data such as attendance records, leave balances, and payslips. This reduced HR inquiries, improved transparency, and allowed the HR team to focus on strategic tasks.
The Impact
By implementing Jisr, the company achieved a remarkable digital transformation in HR and payroll management, directly impacting operational efficiency and employee satisfaction. Key results include:
- Saving 90% of the time and effort in payroll preparation, ensuring timely and accurate salary payments.
- Boosting employee satisfaction by giving them easy access to their data and requests.
- Reducing paper-based processes, increasing productivity, and enabling HR teams to focus on strategic priorities.
- Improving workplace culture and communication between management and employees, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
