What began in 2008 with the acquisition of a small roofing company by Christophe and Olivier has grown into a dynamic group of around 100 employees. Today, Group Suerickx encompasses a wide range of activities, including roofing, flooring and painting works, contracting, and energy solutions. With a workforce consisting of blue-collar workers, white-collar employees, and freelancers, this growth has also brought increasingly complex HR processes.
To further professionalize and automate these processes, the company invested in digital solutions such as Protime, explains Kim Thys, HR Business Partner at Group Suerickx.
"Over the past few years, I have strongly focused on optimizing our HR processes. Thanks to automation, we can eliminate a great deal of manual work and significantly improve efficiency"
One Solution for Different User Groups
The organization employs a diverse workforce, each with its own needs and expectations. This flexibility was one of the key reasons for choosing Protime.
More transparency for employees
One of the biggest benefits of the implementation has been the increased transparency for employees.
"Our blue-collar workers can consult their worked hours, overtime, and balances at any time. Everything is displayed clearly and aligns perfectly with payroll processing. This creates much more trust and transparency," explains Kim.
The system also delivers daily value for office employees. Through myProtime, they can easily manage absences, register their working hours, and keep track of their schedules.
An Implementation built on collaboration
The implementation came with its challenges, but thanks to close collaboration between Group Suerickx and Protime, a solution was developed that perfectly matches the realities of the workplace.
"The combination of the Protime consultants’ expertise, my experience with the system, and our knowledge of the industry resulted in a solution that truly works for our organization."
According to Kim, the result is clear:"A system that is widely embraced across the company and one in which employees experience the benefits on a daily basis."
A Partner That Continues to Support
The positive collaboration did not stop after implementation. Many questions can be resolved internally, but whenever additional support is needed, the team can rely on Protime’s support service.
"Thanks to Protime, our employees have complete transparency regarding their working hours and overtime. The system saves us a significant amount of manual work, and the support team remains engaged until we are truly helped." – Kim Thys, HR Business Partner, Group Suerickx
