Aquila invests €240,000 to digitalise HR across 3,500 staff

Business Forum
Romanian FMCG distributor Aquila has completed a 24-month digitalisation project to standardise human resources processes across its group operations.

The company implemented the SincronHR solution to manage over 3,500 employees across warehouses, departments and regions in Romania, Moldova and Hungary.

The investment of over RON 1.2 million (€240,000) forms part of Aquila's strategy to support growth and operational efficiency following its 2021 listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). The project aims to facilitate post-acquisition integration and provide management with consolidated workforce insights.

"The investment contributes to increased operational efficiency, improving the quality of reporting and HR decision-making," said Răzvan Bagherea, Organisation and Human Resources Director at Aquila.

The solution simplifies management of complex time and attendance records tailored to individual employee schedules across different locations and roles. Managers gain access to team and resource information through customised reports, while employees can access payslips, benefits packages and upload documents through a dedicated portal.
