Picture this: It’s Monday morning at Delicia Foods’ Mumbai headquarters. The HR director logs into his system and instantly sees real-time data from all eight plants – attendance patterns from Delhi, leave requests from Kolkata, payroll processing in Surat, and onboarding updates from Bhiwandi. What once required dozens of phone calls, endless email chains, and stacks of paperwork now happens with just a few clicks.
This isn’t a dream scenario – it’s the daily reality at Delicia Foods, made possible by HREasy’s comprehensive Human resource management system.
The Sweet Success Story: About Delicia Foods
Every great transformation story begins with a vision, and for Delicia Foods, that vision started in 1956 with Hussein Khorakiwala’s single humble shop in Fort, Mumbai, which has since blossomed into over 700+ retail outlets and 1,000,000+ distribution points across India, serving 1,40,000 customers daily with their philosophy of offering “all products and services with the same love, care, and affection as if they were meant for the most beloved person” – a commitment that extends across their multiple production plants and 1000+ employees, making them a household name synonymous with celebration, joy, and the finest quality ingredients combined with the irreplaceable human touch.Â
Back in 2000, Mr. Khorakiwala took the visionary step to adopt HREasy for there Operations. Over the last five years, BETs has partnered with them to modernize and manage their Human resource operations seamlessly.
