Business Situation and Requirements

The client had a widely used HRMS platform with over 500 customers across Africa. The system handled core HR tasks well, but adding new features was not simple. Each update required careful planning to avoid breaking existing modules. The client also lacked the internal expertise to design new roles, workflows, and architecture for an additional module. They needed support to extend the platform without slowing down current operations.

The client aimed to build a time and attendance module that fits into their existing HRMS without disrupting current features. They wanted clear role-based access, simple workflows, and smooth data flow. The focus was on accurate attendance tracking, flexible shift management, and easy scheduling. They also wanted to reduce manual work, avoid errors, and give HR teams better visibility, all within one platform.

For this independent module development, the key requirements were:

  • Analyze the existing HRMS software and identify dependencies for the new module.

  • Create user stories to define features and design the module’s workflow.

  • Design the development strategy, including the database and system architecture for the module.

  • Develop the time and attendance management module according to the defined specifications.

  • Test the module thoroughly and implement improvements as needed.

  • Deploy the module without affecting the functionality of existing HRMS modules.
