Challenges We Faced

Fragmented HR Processes – Existing tools handled attendance, payroll, and performance separately, creating inefficiencies.
Complex Permission Structures – Different HR roles (Owner, Super Admin, Admin, Employee) required granular control.
Customization Needs – Each client had slightly different HR policies (leave structures, shift rules, payroll rules).
Scalability & White-Labeling – The system needed to function both as a custom solution and future SaaS product.
User Adoption – Non-technical HR teams required a simple, intuitive design to encourage system adoption.

Problems & Their Solutions

1. Disconnected Modules

Designed an integrated HRMS covering Company Settings, People, Attendance, Requests, Payroll, Scheduling, and Reports within a single platform.

3. Policy Variability

Introduced configurable settings (custom leave types, payroll structures, request workflows) to fit different organizations.

‍

4. Scalability

Developed with a modular architecture to allow future expansion (mobile app, recruitment, benefits, compliance) and white-label capabilities.

‍

5. Usability Concerns

Focused on intuitive UI/UX, standardized data organization, and easy-to-navigate dashboards for HR and employees.
