How Orange Bed & Bath cut payroll preparation time by 75%?

The Challenges

Like any company in a growth phase, Orange Bed & Bath faced increasing needs and challenges in managing HR operations and daily activities:

• Difficulty managing employee affairs: As the company expanded and staff numbers grew — with varying needs — the pressure and workload on HR teams increased significantly.
• Time-consuming payroll preparation: The team spent long hours each month processing payroll manually for more than 100 employees.
• Lack of operational integration: With no integration between departments and processes — such as attendance, leave, and variable shift schedules — errors and delays became more frequent.

The Solutions

In searching for operational and administrative solutions, Orange Bed & Bath found the Jisr HR Management System to be the ideal partner to support growth, streamline operations, and boost efficiency. The system provided fully integrated solutions tailored to the specific needs of their retail business.

1. Automating Accurate & Fast Payroll Processing: Payroll is one of the biggest challenges for retail businesses. Mr. Ahmed explained that the HR team used to spend long hours each month preparing payroll, dealing with complexities such as incentives, bonuses, and deductions — all of which increased the risk of errors and reduced accuracy. The lack of integration between systems added another obstacle, as manual data entry caused delays and recurring mistakes. With Jisr, payroll preparation became quick and precise. All payroll-related processes — from attendance and leaves to deductions — are calculated automatically, with seamless integration to banks and government platforms such as Mudad and GOSI. This reduced payroll preparation time by over 75%.
2. Attendance Management: With more than 100 employees across 20 cities, managing staff attendance and schedules was a major challenge — especially with variable shifts and both full-time and part-time staff. Manual tracking consumed substantial time. Jisr provided advanced attendance management, fully integrated with other administrative systems, making it easy to handle shifting schedules and automate tracking. Beyond operational improvements, the company also enhanced the employee experience. “Before, with limited transparency and difficulty accessing personal data, employees often raised complaints that affected satisfaction and productivity. Jisr addressed this through the employee self-service feature, allowing staff to clock in/out, request leave, or access activity records and documents anytime, anywhere — without HR intervention.”
3. Compliance: Navigating labor laws, such as the Wage Protection System (WPS) and GOSI requirements, was another challenge. Any delay or error in payroll or final settlements could lead to fines and affect employee satisfaction. Jisr, being a 100% Saudi system fully aligned with local labor regulations, helped ensure complete compliance.

The Impact

Since adopting Jisr HR Management System, Orange Bed & Bath has achieved significant performance improvements at both the HR and employee levels:

• Reduced time spent on routine HR operations by 50% – 74%
• Reduced payroll preparation time by over 75%
