Modified on August 10th, 2023
The Client
85 years old, one of the worldʼs largest retail chains with more than 2500 stores in 44 countries. Its India division has more than 1200 employees and 17 hypermarkets. One of the very rapidly growing organizations with a commitment to delivering farm-fresh products and groceries always below MRP and a great customer buying experience.
Business Situation
Our client has 17 stores across 9 cities in India. Their employees range from top management to floor-based sales personnel. It becomes very difficult to engage the employees from the head office. For any kind of communication, the dependence was either on the phone or email. Handling the records of communication was a nightmare. They approached Briskon for a solution for better corporate communication and deep employee engagement. They were in need of a centralized tool that could be managed from the head office and could record every bit of communication.
The Challenges
There was a local WordPress-based system listing all the important documents and policies. This system was consumed by only the corporate office and was not able to track logins, share documents, manage data, manage applications, or manage other employee information. The existing system was merely a static website and was able to provide information to only one office.
The Solution
The solution was built using Briskon’s Intranet framework, which governs many levels of users and its hierarchy, which will make it super easy for employees to login from any part of the world at any time. The system allowed employees to collaborate in real time. Employees were able to see the task, check attendance, apply for leave, check balance leave, see the holiday calendar, avail the help desk, engage online for appraisal, and many more.
Our framework provided a robust Employee Management System and acted as a must-have HR tool for the organization. The in-built time tracking system helped the organization save time and engage employees tremendously.
