CV Compton Employee Manager.
The all-in-one employee management platform.
CVEM makes it easier to manage staff and access kept records of certificates that employees require on different worksites throughout New Zealand.
How we started the project
CV Compton approached us to help solve an issue they were facing when their employees weren’t allowed on certain construction sites because they didn’t have the required certificate identification cards at hand, such as a Site Safe card.
They proposed an idea for a system where they could store all of their employee’s information and certificates. This would eliminate the need for their workers to carry the certificates around since they could simply use the app to show them.
All company phones would have the app available. This meant every supervisor had access to the required employee information and prevented staff from being denied access to construction sites. This saved CV Compton the hassle of delivery delays and wasted money.
Our approach to the research & design
To begin our research, we looked at how we could design a user-friendly interface that all employees would be comfortable using. We also knew how important it would be to reduce the amount of time it would take for a user to search for employee details, which in turn would reduce the wait time of entering a construction site.
Because we had already completed CV Compton’s transport agency website in the past, we found it easy to keep the same design scheme we used for their custom website build. This would keep a consistent design pattern across the application design and the website design. This consisted of a clean website, using white space and their branding colours for the primary appearance.
We wanted the website application to decrease the amount of steps managers would take to upload new or existing employee data. To do this, we made it into a single page website application, with pop-up models for creating and editing. After investigating with some user-testing, we found it cut down the task completion time by 50%
Since CV Compton’s employees would primarily view the website application on a mobile device, we took a mobile-first approach to the design. This made sure the website was mobile friendly, had sufficient filtering options, and used a smooth search function to make it simple and easy to find employees faster.
Wrapping the project all together
We wrapped up this project by continuing to do user-testing on both the desktop and mobile version of the website application to ensure everything was working as intended.
We understood that this was just the base structure of the project and completed this website project with scalability in mind. Making it with the potential to grow and add in further features in the future to fit CV Compton’s growth and needs.
We then shipped the website application to our local development servers for CV Compton to test for themselves and to let us know if they wanted any edits made. They were very happy with the project we had created and implemented the system immediately.
