Customer story · Holdings group
Alpha Holdings cut payroll close from 5 days to 4 hours
A 280-employee Omani group with 9 legal entities consolidated four legacy systems into MICO360 in 14 days — paid back the platform in the second month and turned month-end into a half-day exercise.

The challenge
Alpha Holdings — a 280-person, 9-entity Omani group — was running monthly payroll across four systems: a legacy on-prem HRMS, a separate payroll engine, ad-hoc Excel for site allowances, and a paper-based asset register.
Each cycle cost the finance team 5 working days. Iqama renewals were tracked in a shared spreadsheet that had already missed two deadlines, costing fines.
- 📌 5-day monthly payroll close
- 📌 Iqama / visa misses costing fines
- 📌 4 systems · 0 single source of truth
- 📌 No real-time view for the CFO
"We shut down four legacy HR systems in our first quarter on MICO360. Payroll closes the same day now — not the same week."
