deploying Mercateam, <strong>Bonduelle,<\/strong> faced major workforce management challenges, particularly during seasonal peaks when staffing tripled with the arrival of 1,000 temporary workers across two production sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Complex schedules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing 25 separate Excel files that required multiple full-time employees to maintain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper schedules displayed on T-card planning boards, updated daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last-minute changes driven by weather and supply fluctuations made the system inefficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No cross-team visibility or historical tracking for seasonal workers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manual, time-consuming performance tracking with no automation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 people worked full-time on the schedule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 person worked full-time on data analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
