From shift roster to payslip, without a spreadsheet in between.
Rotating shifts, overtime rules, attendance devices, safety certifications and deskless workers, handled natively, with payroll that follows Saudi labor law to the letter.
Sound familiar?
What we hear on the plant floor, in almost every first conversation with a Saudi manufacturer.
The 24/7 rotation gets rebuilt in Excel every month, and overtime follows the spreadsheet rather than the Saudi Labor Law.
Most of your workforce has no email and no desk. Requesting leave means walking off the line to the HR office.
There is an attendance device on every gate and every line, and not one of them talks to payroll.
Labor is your biggest controllable cost, and nobody can tell you what a production hour costs in people.
Four steps between the roster and the bank file.
Most plants have all four of these and a person in the middle re-typing between them. That person is the risk. This is the same journey with nothing re-typed.
- 01
Shift patterns
Build the rotation once (three-shift, weekend cover, Ramadan hours) and roster it per plant.
- 02
Device-captured attendance
Punches from gate readers and biometric devices land in one time and attendance engine.
- 03
Overtime under the law
Hours are converted to pay by a rule engine that follows the Saudi Labor Law.
- 04
Payroll
Rawatib runs the cycle from those same hours: GOSI contributions and the WPS file.
The same shift engine, proven on someone else’s shift problem.
Our strongest published shift-management result comes from a Solvait retail customer, not a factory. We cite it here because we would rather show you a real number from another industry than invent one for yours.
Shift coverage and attendance, at a retail customer.
Absenteeism, at the same retail customer.
Most of your people have never opened an HR system. They never need to.
Operators, technicians and packers have no work email and no ten minutes to walk to the HR office. They do have WhatsApp. Khidmat answers them there, in Arabic.
- Leave requested and approved in the chat, by a supervisor on their own phone.
- Payslips, balances, salary letters and Iqama questions answered on demand, day or night shift.
- No app, no username, no password reset for a workforce that changes phones often.

I need two days off next week
You have 14 days. Request sent to your shift supervisor.
And my payslip please
Here is this month, including shift and overtime allowance.
Illustrative. Khidmat answers in Arabic on the line; shown here in English.
Certificates expire quietly. That is the whole problem.
A forklift licence, a confined-space certificate, a first-aid renewal: each one is fine until the day it isn't. Mutaba'aa holds those dates against the employee record and raises them ahead of time.
- Training records and operator qualifications held on the employee master, not a shared drive.
- Expiry raised weeks ahead, with who, which line and which shift they are on.
- The same watch covers Iqama, contract and document expiry across the industrial workforce.

The agents that run a plant's HR
Not features on a slide. Named agents that do a job somebody is doing manually in your plant today.
Khidmat
Employee service on WhatsApp
Answers operators in Arabic on the phone already in their pocket: leave requests, balances, payslips, Iqama and GOSI questions. No app to install, no login to remember, no queue outside the HR office.
Mutaba'aa
Expiry and compliance watch
Watches the dates nobody owns: safety training validity, operator and equipment certifications, Iqama and contract renewals. It raises them weeks ahead, by name and by line, instead of at the audit.
Rawatib
Payroll
Turns captured hours into pay: overtime, shift differentials, allowances, GOSI, WPS and end-of-service, calculated from the attendance record rather than a re-keyed summary.
Wise
Workforce analytics
Puts labor hours, absence, overtime and headcount next to output, by line and by shift, so "what does a production hour cost us in people?" has an answer you can act on.
What manufacturers actually ask for, mapped

Labor cost and production costing on one backbone.
Solvait HCM is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. If your plant already runs D365, the hours captured on the line and the cost of those hours land in the platform your production costing already uses.
- One data model for the employee, the hours and the cost centre they were worked against.
- Labor cost reaches production costing without an integration project between two vendors.
- One security and audit boundary for HR and finance. Solvait is a Microsoft ISV Partner, certified for Dynamics 365.
- On SAP, Oracle or something in-house, Solvait runs standalone and integrates. You just miss this shortcut.

The compliance a plant HR manager is actually judged on
Handled by the platform, from the same attendance and payroll data, in the same run. This is the part you stop chasing.
GOSI
Contributions calculated per employee against your registered establishment, with Saudi and non-Saudi rates handled correctly across a mixed industrial workforce.
WPS & Mudad
The wage protection file is produced by the payroll run itself, in the format your bank expects, not rebuilt by hand after the fact.
Qiwa
Contract records and employment data stay consistent with what Qiwa holds, so a mismatch never stops a transaction mid-transfer or mid-renewal.
Muqeem
Iqama status and expiry tracked per worker, with alerts early enough to actually renew.
Nitaqat
Your Saudization band tracked by establishment and by industrial role, including what a new intake or a demobilisation would do to it before you commit.
Saudi Labor Law overtime
Overtime, rest days, public holidays and night work priced by versioned rules, with the calculation traceable back to the article behind it.
Hijri calendar
Leave entitlements, contract dates and end-of-service work in Hijri and Gregorian, because half your paperwork and every Ramadan schedule does.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
The platform holding your workforce and payroll data is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and Solvait is a Microsoft ISV Partner certified for Dynamics 365.
Manufacturing on Solvait
One name, with permission to use it. We would rather show you one real customer than a wall of logos we cannot stand behind.
Ask us for manufacturing references during the demo. Solvait has 260+ enterprise clients, manufacturers among them; not all of them have cleared public use of their name.
Questions buyers actually ask
Bring us one shift pattern and one payslip.
Book the shift-to-payslip walkthrough: we take a real rotation from your plant, run it through roster, device attendance and Labor Law overtime, and show you the payslip that comes out the other end.
