After no less than 150 factories and renowned partners such as Sanofi, Andros and LISI, Mercateam has landed its most magical partner: Santa Claus...
Santa's factory, a haven of magic and joy, has had to modernize to keep up with the growing demand for toys, and to guarantee the quality of the gifts produced.
Indeed, Santa Claus, despite his legendary fame, still managed his elves' schedules with multiple papers and Excel spreadsheets. Each person's responsibilities were clear in his head... but he got old! From then on, it was impossible to find one's way around: problems flew thick and fast: injured elves, unoccupied elves, defective gifts...
While his gift factory was already using cutting-edge machinery: latest-generation sleds, high-performance machines, he understood the importance of investing in people in the broadest sense: elves and reindeer. His aim: to manage skills on each production site, anticipate the end-of-year peak and any unforeseen events (elves absent due to indigestion from Advent chocolates) by encouraging versatility, and equip chief elves with intelligent assignment tools.

|---|---|---|
| Competency Management | Ensure that each sprite is ideally positioned, according to its skills, to maximize production efficiency and quality. | Elf skill mapping and authorization management to control all security risks |
| Managing versatility | Efficiently manage the multiple skills of our elves to ensure optimum versatility, necessary for the varied manufacture of toys and to meet end-of-year production peaks, while taking advantage of the height of summer to help them improve their skills. | Schedule management and work placement history, making planning more efficient and less dependent on traditional methods |
| Agile assignment planning | Quickly adapt schedules to deal with last-minute absences, ensuring continuity in toy production | Digitization of planning to find the most suitable sprite to overcome daily pitfalls |
| Training digitalization / audit | Document and digitize training for total transparency and increased efficiency, essential for Santa's annual CCA (Gift Chain Analysis) audits to guarantee toy compliance and safety. | Create your own content and manage standards and work instructions at the production workstation, all linked to your training modules! |

By ensuring that every toy distributed is both a symbol of joy and a high-quality product, Mercateam has helped the factory continue to weave the magic of Christmas into the hearts of children the world over...
