Business Introduction
MR International is a diversified business operating across multiple sectors, requiring efficient workforce management and compliance-driven payroll systems. With a growing employee base, the company needed a seamless way to integrate real-time attendance with payroll while reducing manual errors and delays.

Project Overview:
The project focused on synchronizing Odoo Payroll with biometric devices (ZKTeco) to capture real-time attendance data and align it with automated salary rules. The goal was to create a streamlined process where employee attendance, payroll, and compliance reporting worked in sync without manual intervention.

Key Challenges:

• • Manual Attendance Entry: Lack of direct integration between biometric devices and Odoo led to time-consuming manual uploads.

• • Delayed Payroll Accuracy: Salary rules were not consistently updated, creating payroll discrepancies.

• • Inefficient Data Flow: Attendance and payroll data often required reconciliation before final approval

• • Scalability Issues: As MR International expanded, manual processes could not handle larger volumes of employee data.

Objectives:

• • Biometric Synchronization: Automate data fetch from ZKTeco devices into Odoo for real-time accuracy.

• • Payroll Automation: Update and standardize salary rules to reflect allowances, deductions, overtime, and compliance.
    
    
  • Error Reduction: Eliminate manual intervention to reduce payroll discrepancies.
    
    
  • Process Optimization: Ensure smooth synchronization between attendance and payroll for timely salary disbursements.

Solution:
3techno implemented a custom Odoo integration module for MR International

• • Biometric Synchronization: Integrated ZKTeco biometric devices with Odoo to fetch real-time attendance records.
    
    
  • Payroll Synchronization: Automated mapping of attendance data with salary rules including allowances, deductions, and overtime.
    

• • Salary Rule Updates: Configured and updated payroll structures to match MR International’s policies and compliance requirements.

• • Seamless Workflow: Designed an automated flow from attendance → payroll → payslip generation, minimizing human error.

Outcome:

• • Real-Time Accuracy: Attendance data now flows directly from biometric devices into Odoo without delays.
    
    
  • Automated Payroll: Salary rules automatically apply, reducing errors and saving time.
    
    
  • Operational Efficiency: HR teams spend less time on reconciliations and more on strategic tasks.
    
    
  • Scalable Solution: The system can easily handle MR International’s growing workforce and compliance needs.
