Interwood is one of Pakistan’s leading furniture and interior solutions companies, offering furniture, modular kitchens, office setups, and home décor solutions. With showrooms, warehouses, and production units operating across the country, Interwood manages a workforce that includes showroom teams, factory staff, delivery and installation crews, and back-office employees. Managing HR and payroll for such a large, distributed workforce requires a centralized system to ensure accuracy and consistency across all locations.
As Interwood continued to grow, managing HR and payroll became increasingly complex. Attendance tracking across multiple locations, handling different shift patterns, calculating payroll with overtime and production-based incentives, and managing frequent hiring required significant manual effort. The use of separate systems and spreadsheets made it difficult to maintain consistency and transparency.
The HR and finance teams spent considerable time reviewing records, correcting errors, and reconciling payroll data. This reduced their ability to focus on long-term workforce planning and improving internal processes.
To improve efficiency and accuracy, Interwood recognized the need for an automated and centralized HR and payroll solution. The company required a system that could manage employees across all departments and locations, accurately track attendance and leave, automate payroll calculations, including overtime and incentives, and simplify onboarding.
The main objective was to reduce manual work, minimize errors, and give HR and management better visibility into employee data so they could focus on supporting business growth.
After reviewing several options, Interwood selected PayPeople for its ability to support multi-location and multi-department operations. PayPeople offered a single platform that combined employee management, attendance tracking, leave tracking, and payroll processing.
The system’s ability to handle complex payroll requirements, such as hourly wages, overtime, and production-based incentives, made it a strong fit for Interwood’s workforce. PayPeople also provided real-time reporting and ensured compliance with local HR and payroll requirements, helping maintain transparency across the organization.
The implementation process involved close coordination between Interwood’s HR and finance teams and the PayPeople implementation team. Employee data from all locations was securely migrated, workflows were established in accordance with company policies, and training sessions were conducted for HR staff and department managers.
Despite the complexity of managing multiple departments and locations, the transition was completed smoothly with minimal disruption to daily operations. HR teams quickly adapted to the system and gained better control over attendance management, leave approvals, and payroll processing.
After implementing PayPeople, Interwood saw noticeable improvements in HR and payroll efficiency. Attendance and leave records became more accurate and transparent, while payroll processing became faster and more reliable, including overtime and incentive calculations.
The HR team was able to spend less time on routine administrative tasks and more time on strategic planning and employee engagement. Management gained access to real-time HR insights across all locations, enabling quicker and better decision-making. Employees also benefited from clear visibility into their attendance, leave balances, and payroll information, which helped build trust and engagement.
Interwood’s experience with PayPeople shows how a centralized HR and payroll system can simplify complex, multi-location operations. By adopting PayPeople, Interwood successfully streamlined its HR processes, improved payroll accuracy, and created a scalable foundation to support continued growth across its showrooms, warehouses, and production units. This partnership has strengthened operational efficiency and enabled Interwood to remain focused on delivering high-quality furniture and interior solutions to its customers.
