Overview

Bespoke HRMS runs the working week of shift-based teams across several locations: who works when, who clocked in where, and what everyone is paid.

The starting point

The client came to us with an idea, not a product. For a shift-based business with several locations, the rota, the hours and the payslip depend on each other, yet they usually live in different tools, and every mismatch costs time and trust. The brief was to put all three in one system.

What we built

The whole product, end to end. Demand-based AI shift scheduling. Mobile clock-in and clock-out with GPS or Wi-Fi assisted verification, and kiosk attendance where supported. Absence management, employee records and documents, contracts generated from templates and signed digitally, employee self-service, and payroll calculations and reporting. Managers work from a dashboard, employees from the app.

How we worked

We scoped and designed the product for shift-based teams first, then built it in the order the working week runs: scheduling, then time tracking and absences, then records, contracts and self-service, then payroll and the integrations that hand it on. Every part was built and deployed, not left as a prototype.

The technical choices

Scheduling plans shifts around how busy each location is expected to be, so the rota follows demand instead of habit. Location checks at clock-in keep the hours accurate, and payroll works from the same hours the schedule planned. Integrations connect to the payroll systems and HR infrastructure a business already uses.

Where it is now

Bespoke HRMS is a product in its own right today. In the client's words, working with us felt like having their own engineering team from the first day.

In their words.

We came with an idea and left with a company's worth of product: AI scheduling, a mobile app with time tracking and payroll, built and deployed end to end. It felt like having our own engineering team from the first day.

Industries

The same problem, industry by industry.

The industry this project sits in comes first. Pick another to see how the problem shows up there, and what we build for it.

Software and SaaS

The problem

The roadmap is full, support tickets keep pulling engineers off it, and the internal tools are scripts nobody owns.

What we build

A support agent that learns from your docs and past tickets, resolves the routine questions and routes the rest with context.

Healthcare and clinics

The problem

The front desk spends the morning on reminder calls and rebookings. Patient records sit in one system, invoices in another, and nobody sees which patients have quietly stopped coming back.

What we build

An agent that answers booking and aftercare questions around the clock and passes anything clinical to a person.

Professional services

The problem

Senior people spend their evenings on time sheets, engagement letters and status reports. Knowledge lives in inboxes, so every new case starts from a blank page.

What we build

An agent that drafts first versions of letters and reports from your templates and past matters, for a person to review and send.

Manufacturing

The problem

Orders arrive as PDFs and emails and get typed into SAP by hand. Planning runs on a spreadsheet that one person understands.

What we build

An agent that reads incoming orders and delivery notes, checks them against SAP and asks a person only when something doesn't match.

Orders that reach SAP without a keyboard.

Retail and e-commerce

The problem

Customer service answers the same twenty questions all day. Returns are processed by hand, and by Friday the shop, the stock and the books disagree.

What we build

A support agent that answers order and return questions from your shop data and passes anything unusual to your team with the context attached.

Logistics and travel

The problem

Bookings, changes and documents arrive by email at all hours. The team types them into three systems, and customers call to ask where things stand.

What we build

An agent that handles booking changes and status questions, and passes disruptions to a person with the full history.

Finance and insurance

The problem

Applications and claims arrive as documents and get checked by hand against rules everyone knows by heart. Every audit means a week of collecting evidence.

What we build

An agent that reads applications and claims, checks them against your rules and prepares a decision for a person to sign off.
