The project, carried out over a 24-month period, is part of AQUILA’s strategy assumed at the time of listing, in line with the commitments communicated to investors, alongside investments in operations automation, expansion of storage capacity, and consolidation of the logistics network, with the objective of supporting sustainable growth and long-term operational efficiency.
“The listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange and the Group’s accelerated expansion dynamics, including through acquisitions, prompted AQUILA to strengthen its internal processes and coordination capacity at Group level. Digitalization is a strategic pillar for us, supporting the sustainable and scalable development of operations, with significant investments made over the past five years. The integration of the SincronHR solution supports the unified management of an organization with over 3,500 employees and provides the management with consolidated insights into workforce structure and costs across warehouses, departments, and regions,” stated Răzvan Bagherea, Organization and Human Resources Director, AQUILA.
The implemented solution simplified the management of complex time and attendance records, tailored to the individual schedules of employees across different locations and roles. Through customized reports, managers gain fast access to information about teams and resources, while AQUILA leaders benefit from a unified view on the resource availability across the entire network. In addition, the dedicated employee portal improved the user experience across all departments and locations, and the intuitive interface and the easy access to relevant data supported the rapid adoption of the platform.
The integrated solution also delivers direct benefits to employees, who gain real-time access to payslips, benefits packages, and other relevant information, as well as the ability to generate or upload documents.
„The investment, amounting to over RON 1.2 million, contributes to increased operational efficiency, improving the quality of reporting and HR decision-making, and achieving sustainability objectives through the digitalization of workflows and the future integration of electronic signature,” adds Razvan Bagherea.
