Project Overview

Enterprises with large, dynamic workforces face constant challenges in balancing operational efficiency with employee satisfaction. Traditional scheduling methods often lead to errors, compliance risks, and disengaged employees.

To address these challenges, an ERP-based platform was designed with an integrated online staff self-rostering system. The goal was to give employees more control over their schedules while enabling organizations to streamline compliance, reporting, and workforce planning.

UXGen Studio collaborated to design and deliver a scalable ERP solution that seamlessly blended self-rostering, automation, and real-time analytics into a single enterprise-grade system.

Staff had no flexibility in scheduling, leading to dissatisfaction and higher attrition.
