Challenges

The client faced significant operational challenges in managing their diverse and geographically dispersed team. The existing manual processes for planning shifts, conducting maintenance, and handling surveys were time-consuming and prone to errors.

The client recognized the need for a comprehensive digital solution to address these challenges across multiple locations.

Solution

Shift Planner - Control Shifts

Understanding the client’s need for a one-stop application accessible on both IOS and Android devices that could remotely control work progress, generate reports, and track shifts. We proposed and developed a Custom Business Application based on Microsoft PowerApps.  
 
PowerApps is considered as the most cost-effective solution, offering robust functionalities without extensive development resources. PowerApps efficiency is vital for any organization seeking a comprehensive yet budget-friendly solution.  
 
We developed a Custom Microsoft PowerApps Application named Shift Planner. Our application allowed users to plan and manage shifts efficiently, conduct and schedule timely maintenance, and streamline the daily survey reports. The key focus was providing a user-friendly interface that enabled remote work progress management, ensuring that the client could monitor operations of various locations seamlessly in one Application.
