STAFFANY x DIMBULAH
How Dimbulah supercharged operational efficiencies and also saw a 30-40% decrease in punctuality issues
Dimbulah coffee is a ‘plantation to cup’ concept boutique coffee chain in Singapore. The fine Arabica beans are homegrown on the Dimbulah Mountain Estate plantation and their Estate Signature Roast is roasted weekly and then air flown to Singapore to ensure optimum quality. With 13 outlets located across the Central Business District in Singapore, Dimbulah Coffee has created a strong brand presence across the island.
The Challenge
Like many businesses in Singapore, Dimbulah Coffee was utilizing manual biometric systems to capture staff attendance. However, with hardware comes the problem of maintenance and machine failures. Fingerprints could not be detected and this in turn affected payroll as data was not fully captured. As a result, there were discrepancies over shifts and hours and outlet managers had to manually print out timesheets to check how many hours each staff had worked at the end of every pay period. Furthermore, there were always glitches in the system which could only be resolved by restarting the system.
With the rapid opening of multiple outlets across the island, Dimbulah relied heavily on shift workers to man their stores. However, scheduling was a headache for outlet managers who manually assigned workers to shifts using excel sheets. This not only proved to be time consuming, there was also no way for the managers at Dimbulah Headquarters to locate a staff. They had to call the multiple outlets one by one or find the staff’s name in the database to locate the staff. All these inefficiencies and frustrations escalated to a point of no return. Human Resources Executive Clara Tay had to find a solution to the challenging problem of managing shift workers.
