Client since

2020

Our client approached us with the request to build an ERP system that would track employee effectiveness to further transfer this data to the local acceptor.

Detailed information about the client cannot be disclosed under the provisions of the NDA.

Challenge

Initially, the client provided us with an operating system with rich functionality: job assignment; time tracking; statistics including but not limited to the number of workers at the site and/or the number of sites; push notifications, real-time synchronization, etc. However, there was a problem with limited access to the solution. The client aspired to make it available to the public.

Solution

In addition to web and mobile applications, our team developed an API system and an admin panel to help employees track and manage their work.
User roles are outlined as follows: super admins with all privileges, admins with no management or company-setting privileges, and individual users. Users are employees who need to track their working hours through the reports.
Also, our software engineers have implemented certain functionality for managers and their subordinates to make work processes more efficient and less time-consuming.

Time Tracking

We have extended the functionality of reports so that instead of filling them manually, the employees could send photos of their reports endorsed by their local site managers. Users can send time intervals with working hours and breaks in any convenient way: fill out a table with time intervals or send a photo of the report while at home.

Job assignment

Job assignment functions as a constructor. It consists of different elements such as Google maps, PDF viewer, and dedicated fields for filling out. The platform allows admins and super admins to make job assignments in different ways.

For instance, they can create their files by attaching a PDF file of a job assignment instead of creating a new one.

Also, they can import custom Google maps from My Maps. Admins can customize the map using this tool by adding waypoints, various marks, shapes, and labels and then upload the created map into the app to give access to the team.

API system

SInce this solution is assigned to a great number of regular users, the API system was designed to process requests from multiple users. It also allows other major systems to be connected with this API. Moreover, each new client is eligible to require extra functionality.

Technologies & tools

Process

Taking into account all the requirements of the client and the specifics of the project, we proposed Scrum as a software development life cycle methodology. We used Jira and Confluence to assign tasks and track our team’s progress. All the communication was held in Slack.

Based on our rich experience in developing various web applications and data management systems, our team proposed the most suitable technology stack. Thus, we chose Ruby as it is a rapidly deployable language that enables fast MVP production.

To track progress and improve the delivery speed, we held daily meetings and monthly retrospectives with the team. As a means of staying in touch with the customer, our team had bi-weekly sprint reviews showing the progress and giving the client updates on the future plans.

Results

As a result, we have fully completed the client’s task and launched the new functionality on time. We released the application to the Apple Store, Play Market, web, and API systems, bringing in a significant number of users while maintaining its high performance.

Thanks to the convenient job assignment and time-tracking functionality, the solution quickly gained users’ popularity. Each new client highly appreciates the customization option because there is an opportunity to tailor the solution to the specific requirements of every business. With its robust functionality and intuitive user interface, every user can easily handle it hassle-free.
