Better User Experience

For better staff management experience, our experts combined the well-known JavaScript library “React” with Redux for front-end development. Besides, we used Laravel to handle back-end operations and connected this framework with PostgreSQL database for smooth results. Finally, the application was deployed on Google Cloud for extended flexibility and control.

Unified Access to Exclusive Features

Smart Workforce transformed workforce management practices across different industries by providing managers with in-depth visibility into the onsite performances of their remote and in-house teams. The unique aspect of Smart Workforce was that it unified different features into a single all-inclusive workforce management suit. Instead of buying different solutions, companies can now access exclusive functions such as Patrolling Management, Automated Check Calls Management Scheduling & Reporting, Time & Attendance, and Timesheets in a single dashboard.

Particularly, private security companies in the UK can vet candidates online with the Automated BS7858 Staff Vetting feature which is specifically built for the UK security industry.

3x Employee Productivity

Besides, Smart Workforce provides teams with the flexibility to access advanced schedules for upcoming weeks or months and manage shift requests themselves. The standardization of workforce management processes increases team productivity and significantly improves service quality. 

The Results

Smart Workforce centralized the management of remote and in-house workers thus enabling organizations to boost their operational efficiency and cement their long-term competitive edge. The time required to schedule shifts dropped from weeks to a few hours while payrolls were calculated in a matter of seconds. Digitization of workforce management practices also improved the productivity of teams and increased retention rates. The biggest advantage was observed in terms of operational costs that were reduced significantly in three months. Finally, Smart Workforce provided actionable insights to further improve the service quality and make informed decisions.
