STORY IN DEPTH

The client initiated the selection process by conducting a comprehensive market analysis to identify potential candidates. The selection process involved evaluating proposals from multiple contractors, each presenting their approach, expertise and proposed solutions. Key factors in EasyHR's decision-making included:

The contractors' previous experience in delivering similar projects.
Their technological capabilities.
Their understanding of the specific challenges within the HR domain.

The final decision to choose Computools as the digital transformation partner was based on a combination of technical expertise, proven experience, effective communication strategies and a demonstrated understanding of EasyHR's needs.

Project Description

At its core, the project aimed to enhance shift planning efficiency. It encompassed functionalities such as employee management, planned absence recording, workload analysis and the creation of detailed work plans by managers. The system automated notifications for employees regarding new shifts, facilitated clocking in and out and ensured seamless shift completion. The platform also empowered managers to generate insightful reports on working hours, providing a comprehensive solution to EasyHR's specific needs. This holistic approach, coupled with the staged specification refinement, resulted in the successful delivery of a user-friendly CRM platform that precisely met EasyHR's objectives.

Digital Platform & Technology

The stack of technologies used to develop the CRM platform was predetermined by the client. However, Computools’ developers were free to choose the optimal solutions based on their experience and knowledge.

Node.js

Node.js has a lot of benefits, such as better efficiency and overall developer productivity, code sharing and reuse, speed and performance, easy knowledge sharing within a team, and a huge number of free tools.

React

React is an efficient, declarative and flexible open-source JavaScript library for building simple, fast and scalable front-ends of web applications. React basically allows developers to utilise individual parts of their application on both client-side and server-side, which ultimately boosts the speed of the development process. React code is easier to maintain and is flexible due to its modular structure. This flexibility, in turn, saves businesses a huge amount of time and cost.

Communication Framework

One of the keys to successful cooperation is a properly created communication framework. To collaborate on a project, the most convenient and effective communication methods are always selected, providing quick contact and answers to urgent questions. Computools used Slack for communication, email for exchanging data and reports, and face-to-face meetings to make the CRM platform development efficient.

Project Management Methodology

Scrum was chosen for this project, and the workflow was divided into convenient segments, or sprints. During the sprint, code was developed in the frame of tasks. At the end of the sprint, all participants in the project carried out a check and sent a report on the work done. This allowed us to identify errors and bugs in the early stages and eliminate them. This ensured the developed code's stability, purity and high performance. The key benefits of using Scrum are the quicker release of a useable product to users and customers, higher quality, higher productivity, lower costs, greater ability to incorporate changes as they occur, better employee morale, better user satisfaction.
