Mirius

Mirius is a multi-award-winning UK manufacturer of professional, retail, and healthcare cleaning products. With over 60 years of industry experience, the company exports to 80+ countries worldwide and produces more than 2 million bottles per week.

Operating from a cutting-edge 24-hour manufacturing facility, Mirius relies on a skilled workforce of full-time staff and subcontractors to deliver quality and consistency at scale. But with complex shift patterns, demanding output targets, and evolving compliance obligations, managing people operations was becoming increasingly time-consuming and error-prone.

To support its continued growth and maintain operational excellence, Mirius needed a more efficient way to handle rotas, time-tracking, staff attendance, and HR compliance, without relying on outdated systems or manual processes.

What Was Needed

As a manufacturer operating around the clock, Mirius needed a workforce management system that could match the speed and scale of its operations.

Mirius faced critical challenges in workforce management and needed a solution that included:

  • Complex Shift Scheduling Across 24/7 Operations
    Rotas were built manually, making it difficult to maintain accurate cover for production lines and account for last-minute changes.

  • Accurate Time-Tracking for a Mixed Workforce
    With full-time, agency, and subcontracted staff on site daily, tracking hours, attendance, and overtime accurately was difficult, especially across departments and shifts.

  • Agency and Subcontractor Oversight
    Mirius needed clearer visibility into agency worker hours, compliance checks, and documentation, all while keeping processes consistent and auditable.

  • HR Compliance and Policy Management
    Keeping employee records, HR documents, and training logs up to date was difficult across multiple employment types and shift groups.

  • Reducing Admin Burden and Error Risk
    Manual data entry, paper-based records, and separate systems slowed down operations and increased the risk of errors in payroll and compliance.


Where We Came In

HR Duo delivered a single, flexible workforce management platform built for the demands of high-output, compliance-heavy industries like manufacturing.

With real-time data, smart automation, and tools to manage both permanent and temporary staff, Mirius gained a comprehensive view of its workforce and streamlined key HR processes across all shifts. With HR Duo, Mirius achieved:

  • Integrated Payroll Reporting

  • HRIS with Compliance Tools
