Deskera Holdings: Paving the Way for Efficient HR Functions with HRMS
Shashank Dixit, CEOSME: Opportunities Abound
The SME sector has always been in want of competent enterprise management software. The existing enterprise management software largely focuses on serving the needs of multi-national corporations, thereby, leaving out the vast small-and-medium scale enterprises (SME) segment, a market which is both untapped and under served. Shashank Dixit along with other co-founders— Somesh Misra, Brajesh Sachan and Paritosh Mahana—identified that SMEs had limited access to software that is affordable, easy to deploy and configurable. To enable SMEs to run their businesses on an integrated, cloud based platform as well as scale the range of software to include various components of CRM, Project Management (PM) and Human Resource Management (HRM), the founders incepted Krawler India on 21stApril 2005. Peter Fleming, COO, explains, “SMEs are price-sensitive due to limited resources; our products represent a value proposition to them unlike our competitors who typically target large multi-national companies.”
Krawler was later incorporated in Singapore to serve as the base for the group’s operations. It developed CRM software to serve the front-end needs of businesses in functions such as marketing, sales and services. Subsequently, to complement its CRM products, the company also expanded its range of ERP software that helped in streamlining the business processes. In particular, newly developed PM software now allowed for effective project planning and standardization of project execution processes, while HRM software enabled businesses to simplify HR processes and maximize employee performance. In order to fully capitalize on evolving technologies and enhance the value proposition of its deliverable, the company in 2012 developed its cloud delivery platform, Deskera—cloud-based enterprise software to manage business processes more effectively. “Our products are designed to cover all the core processes including sales, finance and human resources. We help customers manage their day-to-day critical back-office, front-office and web operations anytime and through multiple channels,” adds Shashank.
HRMS: Juggling it all at Once
The operational excellence of a company primarily depends on its internal processes. A strong HR process, for instance, improves overall organizational efficiency. Automating the HR processes further adds to the productivity improvements. Simple HR tasks: planning and managing the recruitment process, when performed manually, increase operational cost and time. Whereas using automated and integrated software solution helps in tracking and monitoring applicants, create & post vacancies, manage payrolls, on-boarding, promote trainees to staff and manage resources efficiently on a daily basis.
Deskera’s HRMS solution covers the entire life cycle of the HR processes; it manages the hire-to-retire cycle, tracks productivity for each employee, and maximizes ROI on human capital. The integrated solution also includes tools for leave administration, payroll processing and claims management, recruitment management and tracking milestones.
'DeskeraeLeave' is a hassle-free tool for applying leaves and maintaining the leave status of the employees. Peter expounds, “Our flexible leave management system empowers your organization to effectively apply leave policies, lowers leave administration costs and ensures a more productive workforce.” The online leave application process eliminates unnecessary paper work and saves a lot of time wasted in administrative bottle necks involved in manual process. Besides, it generates comprehensive report to help analyze the leave and attendance patterns in an organization. Deskera's 'Expense Claims Management Application', on the other hand, automates and streamlines the entire claims management work flow and expedites the claims processing cycle. Real time reports come handy in tracking and analyzing the claims trend and monitor individual employees expenses.
Training is another important aspect that improves productivity and collaboration among employees. Deskera’s 'eTraining and Talent Management Suite' is an all-in-one intuitive training management system. It's built-in with features such as Competency Management, Training Needs Analysis Management, Training Funds (HRDF) and Claims Management, Trainer Management, Employee Growth Path and Resource Management.
