Time and task tracking application: Challenge and solution

A custom web and mobile solution allowing users to easily track document management tasks, employee working time, and safety.

Situation

The client decided to upgrade an application facilitating the process of document management, employee work/absence time, and safety tracking. The main goal of the project was to build a reliable tool for transparent and convenient deadline tracking, time, and document management for companies and their employees.

Solution

Innowise developed from scratch web and mobile applications allowing users to send contracts for signing, and track work/absence time.

WEB APPLICATION

The solution is a dashboard for business owners showing all the relevant data about document management processes and employees’ workflow.

A business owner can see when the contract signing due date is and who is responsible for signing the contract.

If the contract needs to be signed by a business owner, they can do it via the web application using a digital signature.

MOBILE APPLICATION

The mobile application is an employee’s task and time tracking tool sending information to the business owner’s dashboard.

Via mobile phone employees can read contracts, sign them, or send them to colleagues for signing. The application sets up the reminders about due dates automatically in order not to leave any contract overdue.

Also, employees can track their work time, report breaks and leaves they take, and see who is abscent.

Process

The client had a clear vision of what the ideal analytical module should look like, so we got mock-ups of the interface and formulas to calculate the production costs. We solved the issues with everything, considering the development process:

Software architecture
Selection of the most suitable technologies and frameworks for flawless operation
Frontend and backend development.

Due to the close cooperation of our Business Analyst and Project Manager with the client, we managed to turn the general idea of such an ERP platform into a fully-functioning set of web and mobile applications showing great reliability and swift response.

DISCOVERY PHASE

At first, our team analyzed the client’s wishes, dived deeply into exploring the ways of the solutions’ implementations, and figured out the best possible technological solutions.We designed mock-ups of the future applications, created a detailed plan for the development of each module, and agreed with the client on the workflow. To get a more exact estimation, we created a detailed plan for the development of each module and agreed with the client on the workflow and priority of features.

TECHNOLOGY CHOICE

According to the specifications and requirements, we recommended the technologies and frameworks that perfectly suited the client’s needs.For instance, Flutter was chosen during the creation of the platform. It allows for more comfortable and rapid development and QA processes since the application versions for different platforms are based on a single code instance. All the changes in the code are automatically applied to all platforms, which speeds up the updating process, and fixing bugs in the code fixes bugs for all the platforms as well. This reduces the costs of development and QA significantly.

MVP DEVELOPMENT

After agreement on the work breakdown structure with the client, we got down to developing the MVP.

We delivered module by module every two weeks, discussed tasks in Slack and Google Meet and had tasks tracked in Jira.

Each development phase concluded with unit and manual testing, so we could detect and fix even the smallest bugs at the earliest possible stage, preventing them from turning into issues.
