About MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises, one of the world’s leading cruise lines, operates a fleet of luxury vessels catering to millions of passengers annually. With a global workforce of thousands of crew members across diverse roles, MSC sought a cutting-edge solution to modernize its time and attendance processes. The goal: enhance operational efficiency, ensure compliance, and deliver a scalable system capable of supporting its ambitious growth strategy.
The Challenge
MSC Cruises faced the intricate task of managing time and attendance across a dynamic maritime operation. With a fleet spanning multiple vessels like MSC Fantasia and thousands of crew members, their manual processes were labor-intensive, error-prone, and risked non-compliance with strict maritime labor regulations.
