How Jezweb Achieved 50% Payroll Efficiency Gains While Managing a Global Team with Apploye

1. Jezweb Company Overview:

Jezweb is a modern web design and development company providing custom-tailored digital solutions to businesses globally. With a team dispersed in various countries, we strive to deliver quality websites by leveraging a diverse, skilled workforce. However, managing remote employees spread across different time zones presented unique challenges, requiring effective workforce management tools to maintain productivity and streamline administrative processes.

2. Challenges:

Before integrating Apploye, Jezweb faced several hurdles in managing its geographically diverse team:

• Employee Time Tracking: With employees working from various locations and time zones, tracking hours effectively and maintaining accuracy was challenging. Tasks and timesheets were often spread across multiple platforms, causing inefficiencies and complicating payroll processes.
• Payment Distribution: Payments to team members were scattered across different systems, increasing transaction fees and creating opportunities for communication gaps and errors.
• Work Accountability: Ensuring team members were aligned with work progress and projects required accountability, but we wanted to avoid intrusive management practices that could distract employees.

Recognising these issues, Jezweb sought an independent platform that could centralize time tracking, productivity monitoring, and payroll management.

3. Product Solution:

Apploye provided Jezweb with an all-in-one workforce management solution that addressed our challenges effectively. Here’s how we utilised its key features:

• Time Tracking and Productivity Monitoring: Apploye’s time tracking capabilities allowed Jezweb to monitor employee hours accurately and reliably, regardless of location. With a centralised platform to track time and productivity, we were able to eliminate redundancies caused by managing multiple platforms. Screenshots are captured from multiple screens using the time tracker with screenshots feature.
• Accountability Through Work Reports: Apploye’s work reports provided a balance between oversight and non-intrusive management. With features to log progress and capture task-related activity (like screenshots), our team could easily correlate the total time spent on projects without any disruptions. This enhanced overall accountability for our projects without making team members feel micromanaged.
• Streamlined Payments with Batch Processing: Using Apploye’s payroll features, we streamlined payment operations significantly. The ability to create batch payment spreadsheets not only saved us time but also reduced the likelihood of errors during the payment process. 

• Lower Transaction Costs: Thanks to Apploye's centralized data and integrated payment workflows, Jezweb also experienced reduced transaction fees. Most of our staff use Wise accounts, enabling fast, cost-effective payments for completed work—resulting in further savings for our company.
• Easy setup for new employees: adding a new hire to our team is streamlined by having a simple account creation on Apploye.
• Operating System Support: Importantly since we have people using Windows, Mac and Linux that the desktop app is available for all of those as well as the Chrome extension.
