Dubai World Trade Centre, a venues and events operator in Dubai.

An employee-management system for Dubai World Trade Centre, in two months

Dubai World Trade Centre needed an internal employee-management system and did not want to hire locally for a fixed piece of work. A dedicated four-person team built it and deployed it within two months, and the internal IT team took it over.

The situation

Staff records, scheduling and approvals for an operation the size of Dubai World Trade Centre lived across spreadsheets and email, and the internal IT team carried a backlog it could not clear while also running the venue. The organisation needed a system built by a team it could stand up quickly, without hiring locally for a fixed piece of work.

What we built

  • A dedicated team assembled for the engagement rather than hired locally

    Full-stack engineers and mobile developers

  • A central employee record with the approval chain built in

  • Scheduling and attendance recorded against that record rather than beside it

  • Role-based access, so managers see their own people and administration sees the whole organisation

  • Mobile access for staff, so requests and approvals happen away from a desk

  • Reporting for the questions the administration team is actually asked

  • Deployment, with the internal IT team taking the system over

What changed

Workflows that had crossed several files now run through one system, the IT backlog shrank, and the organisation got the build at well below what a local team would have cost.
