Situation

In today’s fast-paced business environment, companies face challenges in scaling operations while maintaining efficiency, speed, and quality. Coghlin Companies, a leader in contract manufacturing and engineering services since 1885, bridges this gap by delivering high-quality products, optimizing supply chains, and supporting clients throughout their product lifecycle. From startups to established enterprises, Coghlin Companies is a trusted partner for precision manufacturing and supply chain management.

Struggles and Pains

With multiple locations across Massachusetts and subsidiaries Columbia Tech and Cogmedix, Coghlin Companies employs over 800 professionals specializing in electronic manufacturing, supply chain management, engineering, and product lifecycle solutions. However, as the company expanded, managing employee lifecycle events such as onboarding, offboarding, and role-based access provisioning manually became increasingly complex and inefficient.

The HR and IT teams struggled with manual updates across multiple software platforms like JIRA and O365, leading to delayed security group updates and license allocations, which hindered productivity. Additionally, the administrative workload of maintaining employee data and provisioning resources diverted critical resources from core business functions. To sustain operational efficiency and enhance security, Coghlin Companies required a robust, automated HR-IT integration solution that could streamline workflows and eliminate inefficiencies.
