Established in September 2020, KLAR isn’t just a company—it’s a vision. With the bold slogan #YourSmileMatters, KLAR is on a mission to lead the dental technology scene in Indonesia. Offering innovative solutions to straighten teeth, KLAR Aligner is the transparent, removable aligner that’s changing the game. But KLAR doesn’t stop there. They’ve rolled out the KLAR Smile app recently, making it a breeze for users to kickstart their online consultations and track their treatment progress. More than just a business, KLAR is committed to educating the Indonesian community on the importance of dental and oral health.
Business challenges
With operational offices scattered across Jakarta and Yogyakarta, KLAR faces unique challenges in managing employees, HR, and finances. In the past, KLAR relied on manual attendance tracking. The Yogyakarta team punched in with fingerprint scanners, while the Jakarta crew had a bit more flexibility, often clocking in on the go. But come the 2020 pandemic era, the call for digitalization in KLAR’s business processes became louder than ever. Without a digital transformation solution, monitoring attendance and payroll became a headache, still stuck in the manual Microsoft Excel era. This setup posed risks of human error and hasty decision-making.
On top of that, financial bookkeeping and inventory management were also manual affairs, as no suitable platform had been found to streamline coordination between the two operational offices. The Yogyakarta production team handled inventory management, while the Jakarta finance team took charge of bookkeeping and reporting. This setup sometimes left KLAR scrambling for accurate data, wasting valuable time on inter-division coordination and making processes less efficient.
KLAR had dabbled with alternative HR management solutions through various HRIS software in the past. However, none quite met their business and operational needs. That’s when KLAR decided to pivot towards a more integrated HRIS management solution—one that could keep up with their evolving business demands and operations. This transformation aims to boost KLAR’s efficiency and effectiveness in managing both human resources and finances, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve.
Mekari as solutions
Ellen Pranata, CEO of KLAR, recognized the need for operational efficiency to achieve maximum growth. Ellen was a Mekari Talenta user in her previous workplace. She had a good experience with the product, thus, decided to adopt Mekari’s solutions into her own company when she started one. Mekari’s software turned out to be the perfect fit for addressing their needs. “We needed a system that met three criteria: affordable pricing, dedicated consultants, and online-based. Mekari Talenta and Mekari Jurnal met all (these) three criteria.”
By embracing Mekari Talenta and Mekari Jurnal’s cloud-based software, KLAR overcame operational hurdles that previously hindered their efficiency. Mekari Talenta allows KLAR to monitor employee presence in real time and streamlined attendance and scheduling management. It also facilitates KLAR to do quick and error-free salary calculations and payroll distributions.

Results
About the implementation of Mekari’s solutions, Ellen says “After using Mekari software, three things have changed significantly. First, all expenses are now clearly monitored. Second, in terms of speed, crucial reports are available promptly. Third, reliability; all business needs are monitored end-to-end in the same system, and there are no more frequent data errors as when we used different systems.”
