About MAKA

In Indonesia's dynamic food and beverage landscape, Makna Angan Karya Andanu (MAKA) has established itself as a prominent multi-brand leader, managing beloved brands like Futago, Toodz House, Toho Café, Beragam, and its flagship coffee brand, Kopi TUKU. As MAKA's portfolio expanded across multiple business units and markets, the enterprise faced a critical inflection point: its manual HR processes were struggling to keep pace with rapid organizational growth.

Key HR Challenges Faced

  • Manual HR Processes: Paper-based operations increased admin workload and slowed HR execution

  • Limited Workforce Visibility: Lack of real-time attendance and centralized data reduced monitoring accuracy

  • Fragmented Record Management: Hardcopy records limited historical retrieval and data-driven decision-making

  • Disconnected HR Workflows: Non-integrated processes delayed approvals and created inconsistencies

  • Inconsistent Internal Communication: Absence of a centralized platform led to uneven information sharing
