Dona pharmacy chain has completed the implementation of Charisma HCM system, provided by TotalSoft for the management of human resources and payroll activities. Dona is one of the top three drug retailers in Romania, with 200 pharmacies, more than 1,600 employees and a turnover of over 142 million euro.

“We have been looking for a stable and complex tool that could better support us in terms of operational activities by automating them and by modeling our human resources processes, including human capital development. Once Charisma was implemented, the problems faced by the HR department got solved; moreover, they also started to benefit from a tool able to support the increasing number of employees.” Stated Maria Comsa, HR Manager, Dona Pharmacies.
Charisma HCM was chosen for the manner it treats all these aspects, but also due to its modules covering the recruitment and evaluation of personnel, an extremely important component for Dona management. TotalSoft’s references also played a crucial role in the management’s decision to purchase the solution. Moreover, with the completion of this project, Charisma HCM became the software platform that manages the HR&Payroll activities the top 3 pharmacy chains in Romania.
“Pharmaceutical applications are one of TotalSoft’s main competences. The fact that all major players in this market manage their businesses with Charisma is the recognition of our effort and the seriousness we treat their business needs with.” States Florentina Andrei, Charisma Suite Sales Director.
