Business Challenges addressed
After evaluating various HR solutions, Base Toliara selected Oracle HCM Cloud to support its strategic growth as a major player in the mining sector. With around 50 employees already onboarded and operations projected to scale up to over 900 employees by 2033, there was a strong need for a robust and scalable HRIS in response to:
- Data scattered across different systems
- Low Payroll quality
- Limited and no new features available
- Reporting was not consolidated and not as per business needs
- Recruitment was time consuming
