Case Study: Aditya Birla Star Cement achieves 50% faster payroll processing and timely salary disbursements for 450+ employees with Keka

Aditya Birla Star Cement - Customer Case Study

Aditya Birla Star Cement, a construction firm with 450+ employees headquartered in Dubai, faced recurring payroll headaches: inconsistent biometric attendance across shift patterns, frequent last‑minute correction requests, and the challenge of staying compliant with GCC payroll regulations. Their fragmented HR systems (inherited from the parent group) led to month‑end bottlenecks, delayed salaries, and employee dissatisfaction, prompting them to partner with Keka and adopt its Payroll and Expense modules.

Keka implemented automated attendance tracking, a real‑time HR dashboard, and employee self‑service for attendance and leave queries, while introducing custom expense policies with automated flags and routed approvals. These changes enabled Keka to halve payroll processing time (50% reduction), achieve 100% accuracy in attendance tracking, ensure timely salary disbursals for 450+ employees, and improve compliance with GCC payroll rules.
