Human Resource Management System
Web Applications: Cloud Migration | Django | Python | APIs

Takealot is South Africa's largest and fastest growing online retail company. Their mission is to be the most customer-centric online shopping destination in Africa, and has built a foundation on the simple concept that the customer comes first.

The partnership with the Takealot Group started with an idea to create a unique system that would not only assist with internal processes, but also result in greater employee engagement which is critical for retaining the best talent. The result was the development of a one of a kind Human Resources Information System (HRIS).

The system oversees all areas relating to internal human resource operations including: talent on-boarding and off-boarding, employee benefits, training and development, internal messaging and reporting, and payroll integration to name a few. We are also proud in having migrated the on-premise solution to a secure cloud-based solution.

Solution

Reporting and real-time analytics, visually appealing dashboards, consolidating systems and processes among a host of other features and draw cards.

An Enterprise resource planning system was born from the bellies of our planners that would give Takealot employees a friendly interface. One which communicates and enables daily activities on all human resource related capabilities. The HRIS is built and maintained with professional pride by The Go Company.

Takealot management and users are thrilled to have a system that speaks to their roles and responsibilities. Giving back more time to employees so that they can focus on what’s important and not get held back by internal admin.

Technology

Through our proven experience with the Django Python framework we were tasked with updating Django and Python to their latest versions. From there development blossomed into additional applications and features, moulding into a pivotal internal Enterprise Resource Planning system or Human Resource Information System (HRIS). Various features have been implemented like messaging and real-time information displays, document handling, "gamification" and asset processing to name a few.

The HRIS required numerous third party integrations with a strong focus on APIs (SOAP and REST). Information in the system was developed with user friendly and attractive views, whilst always ensuring efficiency and security. This was strengthened further since migrating the data and infrastructure onto Amazon Web Services.
