A major shift towards a hybrid work model is underway for many organizations worldwide. While the hybrid model offers considerable advantages, this transition presents multiple pitfalls that organizations must consider, especially when their workforce includes borderless workers. With the rise of remote work, managing employee work locations can be very tedious and difficult to control. This can lead to unintended tax consequences for both employees and employers.

Furthermore, the trend toward « Flex Desk »grows with opportunities for real estate cost reduction and the resulting logistics, while office availability becomes burdensome.

With the Pulse Remote app, workplace management for staff is fully managed and automated while providing visibility for teams and reliable data for better decisions.

The objective of the solution:  

Provide a tool that allows the administrator: 

  • To better manage the localization of its personnel on a country-by-country basis., 
  • To provide a comprehensive view of staff's work location (office, remote, client site, absent, etc.), 
  • To define customized remote work policies, 
  • To allow for better management of offices and their capacity, 
  • To control tax risks and easily obtain the necessary information for multi-country payroll preparation, 
  • To obtain advanced and exportable reports, with various filters (team, employees, buildings, countries, ...). 

Provide a tool that allows staff to: 

  • To be able to provide your work location (office, remote, etc.) in a few clicks, 
  • To know if there will be any spots left in either office to organize their week, 
  • To notify of their absences, 
  • To have a global view of your company's or team's workspace for planning in-person meetings and much more, 
  • Synchronize useful information with your calendar (Outlook, Google, or Apple), 
  • To obtain a detailed report on their personal activity.

Our achievement 

After many workshops, the project went through several development phases:  

  1. Project architecture definition 
  2. Mockup creation  
  3. Full development of an administrator portal 
  4. Full development of an employee portal 
  5. Integration of Power BI tool for report generation 
  6. Setting up test and production environments on Azure 
  7. Tests on a staging environment 
  8. Project Version Deployment 
  9. Customer support during security and GDPR audit phases 

Testimony: 

Choosing a technology partner to develop your project when you don't have IT expertise is not an easy process. Not only must a climate of trust be established naturally from the beginning of the relationship, but the development team must also be invested in the project, particularly by sharing and challenging your business vision, in order to continually propose the most appropriate technology for your needs and thus optimize costs. From the very first workshop, the Technology Partner team was able to reassure me on these different points through their interpersonal skills, their experience, and their agile approach.
