As its operations and workforce continued to grow, PetroApp faced challenges in managing day-to-day HR processes due to reliance on manual procedures, multiple communication channels, and scattered employee data across departments. This increased the time required to process employee requests and prepare work schedules, while making it more difficult to track information and increasing the effort required to manage payroll and HR operations. With Jisr, PetroApp was able to centralize its HR processes on a single platform, reduce the time spent on key processes, empower employees to manage their requests independently, and improve the efficiency of day-to-day operations.

Challenges Before Jisr
With reliance on traditional processes, multiple data sources, and fragmented communication channels, PetroApp faced several challenges that affected the efficiency of its HR operations, including:
- Scattered Employee Data: Employee information was distributed across HR and Finance departments, making it difficult to access information and make timely decisions, while increasing the risk of errors and process delays.
- Multiple Channels for Employee Requests: Employee requests came through email, WhatsApp, and phone calls, making them harder to organize and track and increasing the time required to process them.
- Manual Work Schedule Management: Work schedules were prepared and shared through traditional methods, without a centralized system to simplify scheduling and make schedules easily accessible to employees.
- Manual Payroll Data Entry: Payroll processing required multiple manual entries and reviews, increasing the workload, the risk of errors, and delays in payroll disbursement.
