Edifice Consultants is a leading architecture and design consulting firm with over 200 employees working across multiple concurrent projects. Managing large-scale architectural projects alongside a growing workforce required robust systems for both project tracking and human resource management. The firm needed solutions that could handle complex compensatory off policies, project budget tracking, and attendance management at scale.
Edifice Consultants faced interconnected challenges across both their project management and HR operations, with no integrated system to bridge the gap between the two functions:
Managing numerous concurrent architectural projects with distinct timelines, budgets, and resource requirements without a centralized tracking system led to missed deadlines and budget overruns.
No formal system for tracking attendance, leave balances, or shift schedules for 200+ employees, resulting in payroll inaccuracies and workforce planning difficulties.
Architecture projects often require overtime and weekend work. The firm had complex compensatory off policies that were nearly impossible to track and enforce manually.
Project budgets frequently deviated from initial estimates with no systematic way to track costs in real time, identify variances early, or implement corrective measures.
Tech Magify designed a comprehensive dual-system implementation that addressed both project management and HR needs, enhanced with custom Zoho Creator applications for unique business logic.
Configured Zoho Projects with custom templates for architectural project phases, task dependencies, Gantt chart views, milestone tracking, and real-time budget monitoring dashboards to keep every project on track and within budget.
Implemented Zoho People Plus for comprehensive HR management including attendance tracking, leave management, shift scheduling, employee self-service portal, and automated payroll input generation for 200+ employees.
Built custom Zoho Creator applications to handle complex compensatory off policies with approval-based workflows, automated overtime calculations, and project budget deviation tracking with real-time alerts.
The integrated implementation transformed how Edifice Consultants manages both their project portfolio and their workforce, creating a seamless operational environment.
Instant visibility into project progress, task completion rates, and resource utilization across all active architectural engagements.
Compensatory off calculations automated with approval-based workflows, eliminating manual tracking and policy disputes.
Enhanced project budget tracking with deviation analysis and early warning alerts, reducing cost overruns significantly.
Staff can manage their own attendance, leave requests, and comp-off applications through a self-service portal, reducing HR workload.
When standard software configurations cannot accommodate unique business policies, custom development bridges the gap. By combining Zoho's built-in capabilities with custom Creator applications, Tech Magify delivered a solution that handles Edifice Consultants' complex compensatory off policies and budget tracking requirements that no out-of-the-box solution could address.
