Hillson Shoes Achieves 94% Faster Payroll Processing with greytHR

Hillson Shoes is one of India’s largest manufacturers and exporters of industrial safety footwear, supplying essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to industries and construction sites nationwide. Designed to protect workers from chemicals, heavy objects, and other hazards, Hillson’s gumboots and safety shoes are trusted across sectors.

As operations expanded, the company’s manual HR and payroll processes struggled to keep pace. Attendance mismatches, resource tracking gaps, and payroll grievances created inefficiencies and delayed critical HR tasks.

By adopting greytHR, Hillson automated payroll and attendance, streamlined workforce management, and empowered HR to focus on strategic initiatives. This brought speed, accuracy, and transparency across Hillson’s people operations.

Key achievements:
  • Payroll time cut from 18 days to 1 day
  • Zero payroll-related employee grievances
  • Improved manpower planning and data accuracy
  • Higher HR efficiency through automation
  • Simplified management of complex shift-based allowances
  • Greater employee transparency via self-service portal

We used to do our payroll processing over 18 business days with multiple HR team members doing manual revalidation by going to the factory floor. After greytHR implementation, only one HR team member ran the payroll in a single day with zero employee grievance. This is the first time this has happened at Hillson Shoes. It's been a very big transformation for us.
