Education is one of the most demanding and challenging business sectors. 

And, with the changing patterns of outlook and behaviour post COVID-19 outbreak, institutes are expanding themselves with the online medium. 

Keeping quality intact and providing best services makes you stand out. The demand and rise in competition is making parents, school and guardians opt for best teachers. Therefore, giving rise to the business sector of education consultants helping such prospect clients to choose the best. 

 

Such consultants act as aggregators of teachers of different niches and provide them when needed. Therefore, managing teachers’ profiles, client invoices and communication becomes a hassle, when numbers become big. 

 

To cater to the big issue and manage multiple sections in one dashboard, we received an enquiry from one of our clients based in Spain. His needs were precise to the problems mentioned above and looked for solutions catering the exact problems. 

 

Explaining to us the problem, we were handed over with few customizations and workflows needed to be designed exactly to the need. 

 

Here is a list of the problems that required attention: 

 

  1. A consultant can use the same application which is being used by the admin so that consultant can send invoice to the admin and get paid for this.
  2. The template will be changed slightly.

 

Owning a consultant business comes with a lot of challenges, already. Managing to invoice and adapting 10 other software to manage each activity, does nothing but simply adds to the task. 

To make business management easy and fit all the 10 different sectors of software in one account, we created a completely customized self-hosted solution for our client in the consultancy business. 

Our client is in the force management and consultancy sector of business, helping further businesses with the workforce. 

 

In order to efficiently manage the business, clients, workforce, and invoicing, here we were provided with key requirements: 

 

  1. Invoicing clients based on a number of workforces provided. 
  2. Time Tracking to easily calculate overtime
  3. Create a dropdown for overtime charges in the invoice template
  4. A separate section for creating an employee profile
  5. Invoice template customization as per software customization. 
  6. Generating the reports for calculating the profits and losses.

 

Keeping in mind all the requirements shared with us, our team quickly created a plan to customize an entire software for our client. Here is how we worked on the project:
