Beekay Parts Bazaar Private Limited is an authorised channel partner in India's automotive aftermarket, distributing spare parts, lubricants and tyres for OEM principals including Tata, Mahindra and Maruti, along with brands such as Shell, BKT and Goodyear. Headquartered in Lucknow, Beekay operates across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra through 72 locations, connecting OEM principals with the mechanics and retailers who service vehicles on the ground. The business runs on a mix of white collar and blue collar teams handling warehousing, logistics and last mile fulfilment across this footprint.
Earlier payroll software did not reliably preserve historical records. Pulling data from a previous year sometimes returned figures that had shifted, which made the team wary of relying on it.
The Shift to greytHR: One System for a Distributed Workforce
Since 2022, Beekay's HR team has run payroll, attendance and leave on greytHR, moving away from a patchwork of offline and semi cloud systems it had cycled through over the years. The switch gave a workforce split between roughly 507 white collar employees and the rest in blue collar field roles, spread across 72 locations in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra, one connected system to run HR on.
The setup accounts for how differently people work day to day. Around 500 employees access attendance, leave, payslips and geofenced check ins through the ESS portal directly, while blue collar staff who cannot use the app have their attendance verified and recorded by their reporting managers. Queries, meanwhile, are routed through the Helpdesk module rather than phone calls to HR.
Benefits Experienced After Implementing greytHR
My experience with greytHR has been good. It's user friendly, so our team members don't face any difficulty using it. Everything on the interface is easy to understand. Honestly, that's really all I look for: if I have a problem, I want someone from the team to respond and give me a solution. If I get that, I don't need anything more.
Beekay Parts Bazaar moved to greytHR in 2022 to solve for inconsistent payroll data, attendance reconciliation delays and the demands of a distributed workforce spanning 775 employees across 72 locations in three states. Four years on, payroll runs end to end in 2 to 3 days, the HR team's manual query resolution load is down by 50%, and the business has 100% transparency across its HR operations, with records like Full and Final Settlement data available on demand years after the fact. With the partnership still active and both sides looking to build on it, Beekay is well placed to keep scaling its HR operations on greytHR as the business grows.
