StaffMetric (www.staffmetric.com) is a web-application service
provider that offers temporary staffing firms a web-enabled
employee management and reporting system. Using the application, an
on-site temporary staffer fills out timesheets, the client then
reviews and approves the timesheets, and the staffing company
imports the timesheet data into their back-office payroll system -
all through a browser.
The problem
Building a web application involves all of the challenges of
software application development, including code development, data
handling and validation, and back-office integration -- plus all of
the challenges of web design, including usability, cross-browser
compatibility, and a client-branded look & feel. To solve those
challenges in a methodical, systemic way, StaffMetric turned to
StoneHenge Partners.
The solution
StoneHenge Partners and StaffMetric together developed,
implemented and deployed 400+ pages of ASP/DHTML. Through the
course of the 10-month project, we analyzed, designed, and built
upon the existing SQL Server databases and stored procedures; and
designed the VB script and JavaScript functions, data validations
and time-management validations, and COM objects and CSS-formatted
page layouts - all in a cross-browser compliant environment.
The result
The StaffMetric application, built by StoneHenge Partners and
currently deployed, offers these features:
- Automatic timesheet approval
- Automatic email reminders and notification
- Standardize project and task descriptions
- Create task entries to simplify time entry
- Historical reporting by employee, project and task
- Configure email for immediate notification of:
- Approved or rejected timesheets;
- failure to enter time within specified timeframe; and
- feedback on an employee from a client
- Historical reporting available to both staffing service and
client
- Graphical & numerical formats
- Export to Microsoft Excel
- Customized with the client's company's name and logo
- Encrypted username and password to protect each
transaction
- Easily export data into back-office accounting/payroll
systems
- Online setup wizards for new employees/users
