Rubikon for manufacturing

Hiring on experience, then hiring again six months later?

Rubikon is the app for the people side of your factory. Hire on what predicts performance, qualify every worker on your procedures, and run your sales reps from their phones. Managers get a dashboard; everyone else gets the app.

It's an app, not a brochure

Two sides of one app.

Rubikon runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install and it works on the low-cost Android phones your teams already have. Managers see the whole plant; everyone else sees only what their role needs.

Managers & HR

Dashboards in the browser

Staff and logins, the competency matrix, trainees, sales by rep and territory, tenders and the audit trail, on a laptop or tablet.

Workers, supervisors & reps

The app on their phone

Sign in with company code, employee number and PIN, with no email needed. See your qualifications, sign off colleagues, log visits and orders.

Your company

One flat price

Every worker gets a named account. Nothing to install: it runs in any phone or laptop browser. Your data stays yours and exports any time.

Be honest

If you run a plant, you have asked yourself these.

Do you hire only on experience?

Why it happensA CV is the only evidence you have. But “worked in a plant” doesn’t show who is careful, honest and follows procedure, so you hire, let people go, and hire again.

What Rubikon doesRubikon Talent tests aptitude, integrity and rule-following for each role, so you hire on evidence, not hope.

Is HR a revolving door?

Why it happensEvery time someone leaves, what they knew leaves with them, and the next person starts from zero.

What Rubikon doesThe competency matrix records who is qualified on what, signed by a named supervisor, so the knowledge stays with the company.

Do twenty people share three logins?

Why it happensPer-seat licences are expensive, so they get rationed. Then nobody can prove who recorded what, which is a cost problem today and an audit problem tomorrow.

What Rubikon doesEvery worker gets a named account at one flat company price, and signs in on their phone with a PIN.

Are sales flat, and reps managed on WhatsApp?

Why it happensReps are picked on gut feel, nobody sees who visited whom, and when a rep leaves the accounts leave too.

What Rubikon doesThe Sales Engine app plans each rep's day, logs every visit and order, and shows you who needs coaching.

Rubikon Talent Development

Can’t find experienced staff? Grow them on your premises.

Few people in the region have run your lines. Competing for them is expensive and they leave for the next offer. Select graduates on potential and develop them into your own qualified team.

Select

Pick on potential, not just history

Pharmacy, chemistry, chemical-engineering and lab-science graduates assessed on reasoning, integrity, rule-following and genuine interest in the work.

Groom

A 90-day plan for every trainee

A named mentor, procedure-by-procedure qualifications and monthly checkpoints — all visible to HR and the line manager.

Retain

See drift before it becomes a resignation

Checkpoint reviews, a visible ladder from trainee to analyst to senior, and early warnings for HR.

Time to qualifiedFrom first day to signed off on the role's procedures.
12-month retentionHow many of each intake are still with you a year on.
Cost per qualified hireAgainst what experienced recruits cost you today.

Reported to you every quarter. For roles that need real plant experience — such as heads of QA or whoever releases product — we screen experienced hires on the same evidence rather than replacing them with trainees.

Built for regulated plants

One person, one login, one record.

Audit-ready by design

When people share logins, nobody can prove who did what. In Rubikon every action carries a named person and a timestamp.

  • Every assessment, sign-off and qualification attributed to one person
  • Expiry alerts before a qualification lapses
  • Exportable records for inspections and customer audits
  • Your data stays yours — exportable at any time, never sold

Works beside your ERP

Keep SAP Business One or any other ERP running your finance, stock and batches. Rubikon covers the people and sales side your ERP doesn’t.

  • Import staff and departments from an ERP or HR export
  • No changes to your finance or batch records
  • Staff without email sign in with a company code and PIN
  • Runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or PC
