Case Study: Leading Manufacturing Company achieves $100,000 in overtime savings with Celayix Software

Manufacturing Company Saves $100,000 in Overtime

Leading Manufacturing Company, an Indianapolis-based leader in manufacturing technology with about 150 employees, was struggling with outdated, union-driven “call-out” scheduling that forced HR to phone employees by seniority regardless of availability. That process generated excessive overtime, required a full-time role to manage it, and wasted HR time — so the company adopted Celayix Software’s shift-scheduling and time & attendance solution to modernize scheduling.

Celayix Software implemented an automated, rules-based system where employees enter availability online and schedules are populated with staff who meet both seniority and availability rules. The change cut scheduling for a three-month roster to about one hour, eliminated nearly all avoidable overtime (saving roughly $100,000 in the first year), removed the need for the full-time overtime manager, and simplified union compliance and HR workload.
