Challenges faced by Virtual Building Studio
The client encountered several challenges:
Unstandardized Onboarding ProcessThe manual process of creating offer letters and managing employee agreements proved to be time-consuming and error-prone. Furthermore, the use of inconsistent and non-standardized templates hindered efficiency and compliance with relevant regulations.

Lack of Real-Time Employee DataThe absence of a centralized platform to track employee time logs, availability, and leaves hindered effective resource planning and allocation. Moreover, manual tracking of employee time and attendance was time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting overall operational efficiency.
