About the client

Siddique Sons Engineering (Pvt) Ltd

Siddique Sons Engineering (Pvt) Ltd is an engineering company in Pakistan whose operations depend on shift-based teams. For an organisation of this kind, accurate attendance, overtime and leave records feed directly into payroll, making reliable HR administration essential to both employee trust and operational planning. The engagement began with an introductory call and a structured discovery session, followed by a scoped proposal.

The challenge

What needed to change

HR administration at Siddique Sons Engineering had grown around manual spreadsheets and paper processes. Overtime rates, shift schedules, attendance and leave requests were each tracked separately, so assembling a complete picture of an employee, or preparing payroll, meant reconciling several independent sources by hand. HR documents were scattered across email and paper files, disconnected from the employee records they related to. Nothing tied these processes together, and there was no dependable way to control who could view or change sensitive personnel and pay information. For a shift-based engineering business, the effect was an HR function that spent its effort on reconciliation rather than management, with every manual step introducing the possibility of inconsistency between what was recorded and what was paid.

The approach

How VulcanTech delivered

  1. 01

    Review existing HR processes

    VulcanTech examined how payroll, overtime, shifts, attendance and leave were managed in practice, identifying where spreadsheets and paper records overlapped, diverged or depended on manual reconciliation by HR staff.

  2. 02

    Consolidate the data model

    The team designed a single, employee-centred data model so that shifts, attendance, leave, overtime and HR documents all relate back to one authoritative record for each member of staff.

  3. 03

    Build core HR modules

    Payroll, employee records, file management, shifts, attendance and leave were delivered as connected modules within one web-based platform, each reflecting the processes the HR team already followed.

  4. 04

    Transition from manual processes

    The platform then replaced the spreadsheet-and-paper process, giving HR staff a single place to carry out day-to-day administration and retiring the separate files that had previously needed reconciling.

The solution

What was delivered

VulcanTech delivered a web-based HR management platform that brings Siddique Sons Engineering's people processes into one system of record. The Payroll module includes Overtime Rate Management, where rate tiers are configured by duration and PKR amount and can be edited or removed as policy changes. Employee Detail records provide a central profile for each member of staff, connected to Employee Shifts, Attendance and Employee Leaves, so scheduling, presence and absence are recorded against the same individual. A File Manager holds HR documents alongside the employee records they belong to, rather than in email threads and paper folders. Together, these modules replace separate spreadsheets with a single, consistent source of HR information.
