Case Study: Axminster Tools & Machinery achieves streamlined time & attendance and reduced labour and administrative costs with Mitrefinch

Axminster Tools & Machinery - Customer Case Study

Axminster Tools & Machinery, a 40‑plus‑year specialist in tools and machinery that has grown rapidly in recent years, faced a pressing challenge: reliance on manual clock cards was no longer fit for purpose. Managers needed a scalable, real‑time system to track hours, improve processes and support continued expansion.

In 2003 Axminster implemented Mitrefinch’s Time & Attendance solution, replacing manual cards with a personalised system linked to the company intranet. The system now covers all employees, improves time management, absence control, security and safety, and reduces labour and administrative costs—giving managers clearer team visibility, better budgeting and stronger HR administration, supported by training and Mitrefinch helpdesk updates.
