About Payroll

Payroll is a cloud-based solution for small, mid-sized, and large companies to manage payroll around the world. This system allows direct money transfers between counterparties, provides an opportunity to manage payment cycles and interact with payees.

Payroll– Yojji Partnership

The client-company is a $1.2b fintech player whose sphere of interest encompasses the financing of commercial enterprises and organizations, including financial intermediaries.

The client approached us in January 2019 to build a payroll solution on top of their global financial and legal infrastructure. Yojji was fully engaged in front-end development, including design, and we partially completed back-end development tasks. Owing to excellent cooperation with the customer, the professional skills of the Yojji team, and well-defined development algorithms, we have created an efficient system from scratch.

Our Approach

In our development, we are guided by Agile principles, as they are flexible and give enough freedom to both the team and the client. Agile is a structured, iterative approach to project management and product development. By using this approach, we have built the required project gradually. We have started from building the base: defined the main functions in terms of development; conducted UX research and design of the entire infrastructure, taking into account all possible features. Two months after the initial development stage, our users were able to make the first payment. Four months later, we have managed to add large functions to the MVP, such as projects, departments, time tracking system, and administrative management.

We have created an effective payroll system ahead of schedule since we conducted regular sprints to solve certain problems and achieve certain results. The client-company analyzed the results of the sprints and set priorities, that is why the finished product fully met the customer's requirements. Due to the high level of interaction between team members the implementation of the necessary changes was fast.

Challenges and Solutions

We had to meet strict deadlines.

Thanks to effective communication skills, a professional approach to completing tasks, we have created an MVP in less than two months. After that, it took us two more months to add all the necessary features for full functioning.

During the development process, we have come up with new features.

Excellent cooperation of designers, full-stack developers, and QA specialists made the process of adding new features smooth and fast.
