Custom HR Platform
Mokutan Technologies was approached by Upshift, a staffing agency recognized for linking individuals with flexible job opportunities. They shared their vision for a tailored internal HR tool aimed at improving their business processes, particularly in employee onboarding, HR functions, vacation scheduling, and feedback management. Upshift's onboarding process was cumbersome, and they lacked centralized systems to manage vacations and feedback. They required a custom solution quickly and initially set a two-month timeline; however, we aimed to deliver in just three weeks. Following a comprehensive briefing from Upshift, which included sketches of their ideas, we outlined the platform's features while considering their constraints. We promptly developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) by utilizing a basic sketch. By employing no-code tools for both the front-end and back-end, we focused on speed while ensuring the security of sensitive HR data. We successfully delivered the first version in three weeks, which was half the time quoted by other agencies. This swift development maintained both quality and feature prioritization. Upshift's target department quickly adopted the solution, resulting in significant time savings and a unique, customized tool for their organization. After the initial delivery, we continued to enhance the tool, adding modules for subscription and timesheet management, and are working toward a personalized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for Upshift. Upshift's Product Manager commended our efforts, remarking, "Mokutan has enabled us to create a robust no-code platform effortlessly, reducing clutter and embracing the speed of innovation."
