SISQUAL® WFM has just strengthened its presence in the industrial sector with the addition of a new client – Avenal Petfood S.A, one of Portugal’s leading manufacturers and distributors of pet food. The company, based in Leiria and with over 50 years of history, chose SISQUAL® WFM to centralise processes, improve attendance control, and enhance its employees’ experience with a more intuitive, efficient tool.
Founded in 1954, Avenal Petfood began its activity in a small town of the same name. Since then, it has followed a path marked by innovation and expansion, and in 1999, it became the first Portuguese company to devote itself exclusively to the production of dry food for dogs and cats, a visionary decision that strengthened its market position.
Today, it is present in 19 countries and on more than three continents, with recognised brands such as Fluffy, Avenal, Spike and Kido. As the company grew and diversified its operations, it needed a robust, integrated solution geared towards its operational needs.
That said, the company acquired SISQUAL® WFM, thus ensuring centralised management through the implementation of the following modules:
- SISQUAL® Quality of Life APP – Facilitates internal communication, promotes autonomy and improves the user experience for all employees.
- SISQUAL® SalaryCalc – Allows direct integration with the payroll processing system, ensuring accurate calculations without manual intervention.
- SISQUAL® Time & Attendance – Strengthens the control of working hours and attendance with the precision required for industrial operations.
- SISQUAL® Notifier – Issues automatic alerts that help maintain service and organisational levels.
With the centralisation and automation of management processes, Avenal Petfoods is now reducing manual tasks, increasing process efficiency, improving daily operational monitoring, and optimising the use of internal resources. This transformation also has a direct impact on team well-being, as employees now have greater autonomy and clarity in managing their schedules, shifts, and internal requests.
With the inauguration of the modern production unit in Monte Redondo in 2017, Avenal consolidated its technological capacity and achieved the highest level of IFS Food certification in 2021. In addition to food production, the group has a presence in several shops across the country, training schools, and pet hotels. It also maintains charitable initiatives such as Missão Avenal, which has already donated more than 250,000 kg of food to abandoned animals and those living in rescue associations.
The implementation of SISQUAL® WFM therefore represents a strategic move that takes the company to a new level of modernisation and efficiency. For SISQUAL® WFM, this partnership consolidates its presence in a rapidly expanding market, reinforcing its commitment to supporting companies in the sector to achieve greater efficiency and contributing to more sustainable operations.
