Multi-tier hierarchical Site Security System

The project requirements encompassed employee badge printing, onboarding of contractors, defining their contract duration, access control, time-keeping, reporting of daily/weekly/monthly work hours, end-to-end workflow of time card and their approvals for payroll etc. Specific requirement was to build the system in a multi-tier, hierarchical way by which management and control of the system is made possible.

So that multiple clients/companies can be added, and any number of construction sites can be added under a company, and employees or contractors/workers can be added to one / multiple construction sites. Badges should be enabled for respective sites where the worker should have access to, clients can delete and manage access of workers, timekeeping should be automated by punching systems which is mobile-enabled.

Because the construction sites may have poor internet connectivity, one of the major requirements was to have offline ability of mobile based devices that control site access, to work seamlessly in both offline as well as online-modes.

The project met all of its objectives, achieving all 3 major goals within timeline and without any discomfort of a typical migration project. The first major goal was to roll out the new multi-layered hierarchical design solution, without disturbing the normal work-flow. This was important because every day there were thousands of workers across multiple construction sites where existing BST Apps was in use. The second goal was to enable business-critical functionalities within the custom-built web portal and mobile apps. We achieved it by a seamless integration and interworking with several leading 3rd parties. The 3rd goal was to provide intuitive dashboard and summary data insights, reports.

The project was executed over 6 months, resulting in a fully functional integrated custom web portal, interworking with mobile applications. Additional functionalities via integration of 3rd parties, an integrated dashboard and useful reports that are required for payroll processing. Strata Solar is able to save thousands of dollars every month because of less number of manual monitoring, review of time cards and payroll processing effort.

A fully functional integrated custom web portal, and mobile apps that helped the customer to effortlessly manage employees, contractors and workers across different sites. Additional functionalities via integration of 3rd parties, an integrated dashboard and reports are supported. Strata Solar is able to save thousands of dollars every month as well as benefitted with a set of new functionalities and integrations that were not possible earlier while using traditional time-keeping and access control systems. With an upgraded BSTApps product, Strata Solar is able to effectively manage more than 10,000 users working across several sites for their punch-in/punch-out timekeeping, timecards for payroll, automated approval process etc. And all of this supporting mobility, meaning all users can perform tasks via mobile apps or web or punching systems or even kiosks.
