Client & product
Svenn is a platform that helps construction companies with time tracking and project management. They aim to minimize inefficient routines, billing delays, and unnecessary paperwork with a platform tailored for the construction industry.

Challenges
The Client wanted their customers to be able to customize almost every aspect of the report, including being able to filter by material, types of work, vacations, overtime, etc. An old database with some of that data was available, but it needed to be transferred to a new platform and revalidated.

Additionally, the system was meant to have multiple user roles: User, Manager, Company Admin, and Super Admin, each with their own restrictions and abilities. The need to implement flexible billing in terms of company size and time worked was another major point.

Job done
We designed the Svenn time management platform to be intuitive and include extensive sorting and filtering tools. It has a clean user hierarchy and offers complete workflow control at all levels. We also developed a billing system in accordance with our client’s specifications.

With the web version of the platform, we designed the iOS and Android applications. Since 2016, we’ve been supporting the project codebase and adding new features with every major release.

We set up a monitoring system that covers all endpoints to ensure the stability of HTTP requests. It also tracks server resources like CPU usage, memory consumption, network, etc. to better capacity planning and improve reliability.

Implemented features
 

  • Dashboard. The core of Svenn, the Dashboard provides an overview of the user’s current projects. It presents all of a company’s work in a single intuitive table.
  • Project management tools. Users can track tasks, deadlines, assigned employees, issues encountered, and other details for each project.
  • Time tracker. Optional logs include expenses for materials, additional expenses, travel distance, lunch times (logged in a separate field), etc.
  • Report generator. Users can generate custom reports with many filtering and sorting options and export those reports as XLS, PDF, and CSV files.
  • Invoice manager. Invoices are generated based on the time tracker and employees’ profiles. Pay is automatically calculated and payment data is exported directly to the payroll system.
  • File sharing. Employees can attach files to projects in various formats and create folders to organize them.

Outcomes

With the new time tracking platform, Svenn was able to capture a unique market niche and attract over 2,900 customers from 45 countries. The company now provides an attractive solution for construction companies that want to:

  • Manage construction specialists and projects
  • Calculate employees’ salaries and invoices
  • Stay on top of the company’s operations

These features give Svenn customers a definitive advantage when it comes to accounting and doing business. Svenn is an attractive solution for small businesses, allowing them to spend more time on non-administrative tasks.
