The challenge.

HR and line managers were running headcount, leave, approvals and records across separate tools and shared spreadsheets. Requests were approved over email with no audit trail, and the same employee data was maintained in several places at once.

How we worked.

  1. 01

    Process discovery

    We documented how requests, approvals and records actually moved between HR, managers and finance — including the informal steps nobody had written down.

  2. 02

    Systems audit

    We catalogued every system holding employee data and identified where the same record was being maintained more than once.

  3. 03

    Data model & permissions

    We designed a single employee record and the role model governing who could see and change each part of it.

  4. 04

    Approval workflow design

    We mapped each request type to an approval chain with clear ownership, escalation and a permanent audit trail.

  5. 05

    UX/UI design

    We designed self-service screens for employees and a queue-based view for managers, so approvals took seconds rather than an email thread.

  6. 06

    Platform development

    We built the record management, request and approval modules, and the reporting layer over them.

  7. 07

    System consolidation

    We migrated data from the existing tools and connected the remaining ones so no record needed maintaining twice.

  8. 08

    Rollout & training

    We rolled out by department, gathered feedback from each group, and refined the workflows before the next.

Results.

  • 50% reduction in HR admin work
  • 40% faster approval turnaround
  • 5+ separate systems consolidated into one
