Introduction

Tea gardens, vital to the global tea industry, face numerous challenges in managing their extensive workforce and intricate operational processes. Recognizing the need for an integrated and efficient solution, Star Link has introduced the Tea Garden Solution – a comprehensive software and hardware combination designed to address the complexities and loopholes in existing systems.

Attendance Management

One of the major challenges in tea gardens is managing a large and diverse workforce. Star Link’s Tea Garden Solution tackles this issue with a sophisticated Biometric Attendance Machine. Workers are categorized into permanent, contractual, and emergency categories, with specific work-heads for activities such as tea plucking, water sprinklers, and general labor.

Location cards linked to the biometric system enable precise attendance tracking. Fingerprint registration ensures accuracy, and workers mark their attendance based on predefined parameters. This innovative solution ensures transparency and accountability in the attendance recording process.

Tea Leaves Weighment Automation

Manual interpretation of the tea leaf measurement process is prone to errors and inefficiencies. Star Link has seamlessly integrated weighing scales with the biometric device to automate the tea leaves weighment process. Workers can now measure their tea leaves daily, and the records are automatically updated in the software against their names. This automation reduces errors, enhances efficiency, and provides real-time data for better decision-making.

Efficient Payment Process

The Tea Garden Solution incorporates an inbuilt payroll software that calculates salaries and wages based on work heads. Whether workers are on a daily or weekly wage system, the solution ensures accurate and timely payments. The system also allows wages to be calculated based on tea leaves measurement at the end of the day, aligning with the actual work performed.

Comprehensive Reporting

Star Link’s Tea Garden Solution offers a range of reports for every aspect of tea garden management. Daily, weekly, work-heads wise, location wise, and tea weight wise reports can be generated with a single click. The system also generates discrepancy reports, highlighting instances such as missed punches or unrecorded tea leaves measurements. All reports are conveniently generated in .xls file format for easy accessibility and analysis.
