Case Study: Polymos saves 50% of replacement management time with Evolia

How Polymos saved 50% of their time on replacement management using Evolia

Polymos, a third-generation family-run plastic products manufacturer with over 250 employees, faced significant challenges during the 2020 workforce shortage. The difficulty in hiring full-time staff forced HR Assistant Sara Macleod and her team to rely heavily on part-time workers. This shift created a chaotic and stressful 24/7 process of contacting 15-20 employees across multiple communication channels to fill each open shift, blurring the line between their personal and professional lives.

By implementing Evolia's scheduling software, Polymos streamlined its entire replacement management process. The vendor's solution empowered employees to communicate shift changes and apply for open shifts directly through its built-in app, which automated replacements and provided real-time visibility into employee availability. As a result, Polymos saved 50% of the time previously spent on replacement management, drastically reduced operational downtime, and increased overall plant productivity.
