Automated Payroll System

In most cigar factories, payroll is one of the hardest weekly tasks. Every employee—especially rollers—gets paid per cigar, sometimes with different rates depending on the vitola, wrapper type, complexity, or bonuses. When a factory has only two pairs producing two cigar types, the calculation is easy. But as production grows, it quickly becomes a nightmare:

• 20+ rolling pairs
• 40+ vitolas
• Multiple departments
• Weekly targets and bonuses
• Taxes and deductions

Suddenly, payroll becomes a full-day job for managers.

CFM solves this problem with an Automated Payroll System designed specifically for cigar factories.

Why Payroll Is Complicated in Growing Cigar Factories

As factories expand, manual payroll (Excel, WhatsApp notes, paper slips) becomes impossible to control. Common problems include:

• Missing cigars
• Wrong totals
• No visibility of real production
• Confusion between departments
• Delays in salary calculations
• Wrong incentives or lost bonuses
• No transparency for employees

All of this happens because payroll depends on accurate production data—and most factories don’t register cigars properly.

How CFM Automates Payroll

CFM automatically calculates payroll because every cigar that an employee makes is registered in real time through the mobile app.

1. Every cigar is scanned or recorded instantly

Employees use simple smartphones to register:

• Vitola
• Pair
• Day and shift
• Finished quantity

No expensive devices. No waiting. No end-of-week surprises.

2. Rates, bonuses, and deductions are pre-configured

Each factory defines:

• Payment per cigar
• Payment per vitola
• Bonus rules (weekly targets, quality, speed)
• Tax and government deductions
• Special incentives

CFM applies these rules automatically.

3. Weekly payroll is calculated in seconds

At the end of the week:

• Managers open the payroll page
• CFM shows the total cigars per employee
• System applies rates, taxes, deductions, and bonuses
• Export to PDF, Excel, or accounting system

What used to take hours now takes minutes.

Real-Time Payroll = Real KPIs

Because production and payroll are connected, managers can see real insights:

• Which pairs produce the most
• Who meets targets consistently
• Cost per cigar in real time
• Labor efficiency per vitola
• Weekly payroll forecast
• Overproduction or low productivity alerts

This transforms payroll from a headache into a decision-making tool.

Time Saved, Errors Eliminated, Transparency Improved

The Automated Payroll System is not just a calculator—it’s a management tool.

Payroll that used to take 4–6 hours is done in minutes.

Why Every Growing Cigar Factory Needs Automated Payroll

If your factory is growing, manual payroll will eventually break your system.
To maintain speed, accuracy, and control, you must connect production → payroll → KPIs.

CFM is the only MES designed by people who understand cigar manufacturing and solves the real, daily problems cigar factories face.
