The Challenge
Lucia Wine Bar, a popular hospitality establishment with locations in York, Harrogate, and Beverly, was facing significant challenges in managing its workforce. The Operations Manager, Darioush Shahidi, was particularly concerned about the inefficiencies in the payroll process and the inaccuracies in recording staff hours. The absence of a formal clock-in process meant that staff had to manually write down their working hours, which were then manually entered into the system. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, leading to discrepancies between the actual and scheduled labour hours. These errors were proving costly for the business.
About The Customer
Lucia Wine Bar is a renowned hospitality establishment with a strong presence in York, Harrogate, and Beverly. Known for its delicious flavours and beautiful interiors, the bar offers a temporary immersion into the Italian lifestyle. Whether customers are stopping by for nibbles and an aperitif or wish to fully indulge in classic Italian cuisine, Lucia Wine Bar has a range of menus featuring show-stopping dishes and world-class ingredients. The bar has over 200 employees across its four locations and has been a user of Bizimply workforce management software since 2020.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Darioush began researching workforce management software that could streamline the day-to-day operations of the business. He was looking for a solution that would provide better visibility over costs, improve HR management, streamline the management of staff holidays, and offer a secure, centralized location for storing employee documents. The solution came in the form of Bizimply, a cloud-based workforce management software. With Bizimply, Lucia Wine Bar was able to streamline its payroll process and gain greater control over its labour and sales data, leading to better business decisions. The software also allowed staff to book time off using the MyZimply App, eliminating errors in scheduling staff who had booked off or submitted unavailability requests. Furthermore, Bizimply provided a secure, cloud-based system for storing all employee documents, ensuring compliance and up-to-dateness.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
