Client Background and Business Context
Ballard Power Systems Inc. engages in the design, development, manufacture, sale, and service of proton exchange membrane fuel cell products. The company serves transit bus, rail, critical infrastructure, marine, material handling, stationary power, truck, and automotive markets. The company was founded in 1979.
Ballard identified the need for enhanced HCM insights, seeking real-time, actionable data across HR functions to support strategic decision-making and workforce planning. Existing manual reporting processes were time-consuming, inconsistent across departments, and lacked automation, while the absence of integrated dashboards and standardized KPIs limited visibility into workforce performance and HR metrics. Additionally, the customer wanted to integrate external data sources and scale analytics across business units to support future growth and meet evolving reporting needs. Through its partnership with Trinamix, Ballard enhanced visibility into workforce performance and HR operations, reducing manual reporting efforts and enabling data-driven decision-making through real-time analytics, deeper insights into talent trends and workforce composition, streamlined reporting, and a scalable foundation that supports strategic planning, self-service insights, and future growth.
