Inception

WorkAxle founders approached StartupCraft with just an idea in July, 2017 and we instantly followed the ultimate potential of this vision. Shortly after, StartupCraft was hired to be in charge of every step of development lifecycle from concept to production-ready solution. We didn't knew yet that it will become a 4 years+ journey with an ultimate transformation from small startup to an enterprise oriented business and become one of the biggest clients of the company.

The Problem

Schedule management was always a problem when you have employees spread over multiple locations. Shifts can be changed by variety of reasons like sick days, day-offs, firing or simply due to life factors. And this was just a tip of the iceberg.

The multitude of challenges can turned to be unyielding when it is backed up with a lot of different locations, departments and roles. The tracking and reporting system repsecting the labour code complexities such as over-times becomes vital in the payroll and reporting process.

And there were no existing solutions that could satisfy all of these challenges and let the business scale efficiently.

Automatic Scheduling

To address the scheduling challenge, we began from analysing how competitors solved it and quickly got frustrated due to amount of manual labour involved. Automatic shift scheduling quickly becomes a top-priority feature of the project. By utilising data such as worker availability, vacations, holidays, time-offs and pre-configured rules we left almost no work for managers.

Let employees manage themselves

Looking at how real businesses work, we quickly realised that employees don't need intermediary person for tasks like shift swaps, covers, requesting time-offs. Letting software to dispatch and process all requests and automatically reflect on the schedule saved a lot of time for managers and increased ROI for the business owners.

Clock-In with Beacons & Face Recognition

What makes this product unique is the amount of bleeding edge techologies we used. The clock-in / clock-out with automatic time and location tracking empowered by face recognition, automatic time and attendance rules and real-time notifications, interconnected altogether.
