How does a small technology company like NasherNet manage its HR efficiently?

Challenges before Jisr

Some might think that a company with 20 employees doesn't need an HR system. The reality is quite the opposite. In small companies, there isn't a multi-person HR department. Often, one person - or even the manager - handles everything: payroll, attendance, vacations, and compliance. And every mistake costs many times more than it would in a large company, simply because there's no one to check your record.

• Manual Attendance Tracking: At a tech company where some employees work remotely or flexibly, traditional attendance tracking methods were slow and inaccurate. Verification and auditing were time-consuming, and errors directly impacted payroll accuracy.
• File-Based Employee Management: Updating data, tracking vacations, and following up on requests were all done manually across separate files. Ironically, at a company building cloud servers for its clients, its own employee data was still stored using traditional methods.
• Lack of Automation: Vacation approvals, payroll preparation, record review, and other daily tasks were performed manually.

"In a small team, every hour wasted on a routine task is an hour stolen from customer service or product development, impacting the overall business," says Salman Badkhan, HR Director at NashirNet.

Solution with Jisr

NashirNet team realized that traditional tools like Excel were no longer an option, and that ERP systems weren't suitable for their company's size and budget. They were looking for a robust, easy-to-implement local system that would cover all their HR needs in one place and provide solutions for specialized technology companies. That's exactly what they found in Jisr.

• Manage employee affairs in one place: Instead of scattered files and multiple papers, all employee data is now documented and up-to-date on a single, secure platform. Any administrative decision can be made instantly based on accurate and readily available data, without searching or reviewing.

• Automated attendance and leave: Attendance and leave tracking is now real-time, and reports are generated automatically. Leave requests are submitted and approved electronically without paper or manual follow-up. Time previously spent on auditing is now invested in actual work.
• A clear organizational structure, even for small teams: Even in a company with 10 employees, organizational clarity is crucial. Jisr enabled the team to create a clear structure defining departments, responsibilities, and lines of communication, simplifying daily operations and reducing confusion in task allocation.
• Guaranteed compliance with minimal effort: Accurate data documentation and integration with government agencies are now automated. For a small business, any violation or fine can be relatively costly. Jisr provided NashirNet with peace of mind regarding compliance without allocating additional resources.
