From one time-tracking solution into a broader operational system
Development started from a practical problem: tracking working time was cumbersome and required a lot of follow-up. The solution was built together, and it became clear that the same whole could also address challenges in order and fleet management.
Starting point
Before the current system, day-to-day matters were handled from memory or by filling in Excel sheets. Working-time tracking in particular caused extra follow-up work.
When the needs were reviewed together, order management and fleet management also came up.
Solution
Instead of looking for a separate tool for each problem, the whole was built step by step around the same system. Working-time tracking, orders and fleet came into one place: hours are recorded centrally, organising work between supervisors and employees is faster, and fleet information lives in the same whole.
Effect on everyday work
The original working-time tracking problem has in practice almost disappeared. Extra follow-up related to employee hour entries has decreased significantly, and the order system has made organising work between employees and supervisors easier and faster. The system is also being expanded with an automated integration that will send time data directly to the payroll system.
Next step
The collaboration is currently being expanded with new weighing software that will replace an older desktop-based solution. The aim is to make weighing an easy-to-use whole for the driver, supervisors and billing — including reports and real-time follow-up on mobile.
Ville understands the practical challenges and problems and knows how to turn them into working software — and, through that, into a better working day.
