Automating generation of weekly payroll reports

Our client is a US-based fintech company that optimizes the performance of various business departments with custom digital solutions. Their goal is to minimize inefficient routines, paperwork, and billing delays for their customers by streamlining their workflows.

Payroll is an application that automatically calculates payrolls for accounting departments. It was designed with customization and flexibility in mind and can adapt to any workflow with minimal alterations. It’s also considerably faster than generic accounting software and requires less manual input and calculations.

The Payroll database was large and complex, so it needed to be optimized to prepare for future expansion. Moreover, Payroll takes into account 50+ parameters in its calculations, so we had to build an efficient algorithm and a good way to present that data to the end user. As sometimes, accounting software produces incorrect figures due to bugs or user error, there had to be a way to detect such issues.

We built Payroll from the ground up. Development was led by our project manager, who also acted as the business analyst. Since the user experience was important, the team included a UX designer.

Payroll’s backend was written with Node.js and Yii — a fast, secure,
and efficient PHP framework. The front-end was built with Bootstrap and jQuery. Once complete, Payroll was put through rigorous testing by our quality assurance specialists.
