Offering:
Construction Subcontractor Time, Attendance, Work, and Salary Management Software.
Business Requirement
With construction contracts spanning various locations, our client sought an innovative software solution to streamline their operations, including the subcontracting process, subcontractor staff management, work allocation, efficiency tracking, salary management, and more. The objective was to digitize their operations entirely, eliminating administrative inefficiencies that had been a major concern for management, resulting in significant revenue mismanagement.
Solution
To address the client's specific needs, we proposed a solution that encompassed both mobile apps for end-user operations and web app portals for contractors and management. The mobile apps were designed to be installed on employees' mobile devices, enabling features such as attendance tracking through geolocation, work time monitoring, and efficiency calculation. Employees were also provided with a dashboard to access their personal data. For contractors and administrators, we developed web portals equipped to manage all operational aspects. We recommended the use of a Native iOS and Android app for employees and an Angular-Laravel technology stack for the web portals.
The system leveraged geofencing technology for accurate staff attendance management at various work sites.
