Nordersund is a custom ERP system development project delivered for a Norwegian seafood business operating across retail stores, seafood bars, and restaurant formats, and ready-to-eat production workflows.
The client needed to replace an outdated internal system with a scalable platform for employee records, working time, bonuses, salary calculations, and payroll automation software.
Computools built a centralized ERP and HRM platform that improved workforce control, reduced manual workload, and laid the foundation for future optimization of production processes.
The client is a Norwegian seafood retail and restaurant business operating branded fish stores, seafood bars, and restaurant locations, as well as ready-to-eat seafood production processes.
Its daily operations involve retail staff, restaurant teams, production workers, HR specialists, accounting teams, and managers responsible for shifts, attendance, payroll, and daily process control.
As the business expanded, the company needed workforce management software that could support multiple employee groups, business locations, and operational workflows. Computools provided web development services to help the client move from fragmented internal processes to a centralized digital platform.
The client needed HR management system development to centralize employee records, working hours, payroll data, bonuses, attendance control, and management workflows across retail stores, restaurant teams, and production workshops.
Manual tracking created an extra workload for HR and accounting teams and increased the risk of errors in salary calculations, working time records, and bonus distribution.
The company also needed more reliable employee attendance tracking to verify whether employees were present at the correct business locations. At the same time, the platform had to remain sufficiently scalable to support future manufacturing software development needs as production process optimization became the next stage.
Computools developed Nordersund, a custom ERP and HRM platform for seafood retail, restaurant, and production operations.
The platform included employee time tracking, salary calculation, bonus management, role-based access, and a payroll and attendance management system for HR, accounting, and operational managers.
To improve attendance verification, Computools implemented a facial recognition attendance system with coordinate-based tracking. This helped the client verify employee presence across business locations and reduce reliance on manual reporting.
The solution created a centralized operational foundation that could later support the optimization of production workflows.
The platform helped the client reduce manual work, improve attendance control, and create a scalable foundation for future operational improvements.
Reported project impact:
The solution worked as an ERP for retail and restaurant operations and strengthened workforce management automation across daily HR, payroll, and attendance processes.
Computools was selected because the client needed a technology partner capable of connecting business analysis, ERP architecture, HRM logic, AI-supported attendance verification, and long-term platform scalability.
The project required a clear understanding of how retail stores, restaurant teams, production workers, HR specialists, accountants, and managers use one operational system every day.
Computools designed the platform around real business workflows, not isolated features. This helped the client reduce execution risk, improve process control, and prepare the system for future operational expansion.
The design process focused on clarity, speed, and practical use for several user groups: HR specialists, accountants, store managers, restaurant managers, and production managers.
Two core user profiles shaped the platform’s HR, attendance, payroll, and day-to-day operational workflows.
A structured platform map designed to simplify navigation across employees, attendance, payroll, locations, and reports.
Low-fidelity wireframes were created to validate the main user flows before interface development.
The interface was designed for daily operational use, with clear navigation and fast access to key actions.
JAVA / SPRING BOOT
Java and Spring Boot were used to build the backend of the ERP and HRM platform. This stack supported employee records, working time records, salary calculations, bonus rules, attendance verification, and role-based access.
REACT
React was used to develop the web interface for HR teams, accountants, managers, and operational users. It supported structured work with workforce data, attendance records, payroll workflows, and reports.
AWS CLOUD
AWS Cloud provided the infrastructure for secure deployment, scalability, and platform availability.
DOCKER
Docker supported consistent deployment environments and simplified release management.
POSTGRESQL
PostgreSQL served as the core relational database for employee records, attendance data, payroll information, bonus calculations, locations, roles, and operational reporting.
OPENCV
OpenCV supported the computer vision layer used for attendance verification.
TENSORFLOW
TensorFlow supported AI-related functionality within the attendance verification module.
omputools used an Agile Scrum-based delivery approach to keep the project aligned with the client’s operational needs, technical requirements, and future scalability plans.
Work was organized into short sprints, each focused on a specific functional area such as employee records, working hours, attendance verification, salary and bonus calculation logic, user roles, reporting, or manager-level controls. This allowed the team to validate business logic step by step.
Regular sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, and retrospectives kept the client closely involved, allowing HR, accounting, and operational stakeholders to review functionality early, clarify edge cases, and adjust priorities as the platform evolved. This approach reduced delivery risk, improved transparency, and helped Computools build the system around real daily workflows across retail, restaurant, and production operations.
We had outgrown our old system. Managing employees, attendance, bonuses, and payroll across retail, restaurant, and production locations required too much manual work and left too much room for errors.
Computools helped us build a centralized platform that made our workforce processes easier to control. We now have clearer attendance data, faster payroll preparation, better visibility for managers, and a scalable foundation for future operational improvements.
