Personal Dashboard
A staff application dashboard with clear request statuses — Total, Approved, Pending, Recommended, Rejected and Send Back — plus navigation for new requests, approvals, my requests and reports.
Case Study
What the app achieves
We built homegrown applications to support BRAC’s large-scale operational needs across microfinance and field programs. The staff application streamlines everyday workflows such as travel requests, travel allowance (TA) billing, multi-step approvals, purchase configuration and personal request dashboards for distributed teams.

Core Features
What we built into the product
The platform brings together the modules field and office staff use every day — from request initiation to manager approval and admin configuration.
Travel Approval Workflow
End-to-end travel request and approval flows with request details, travel itinerary, status history and actions for Approve, Reject or Send Back by designated approvers.
Travel Allowance (TA Bill)
Structured TA bill requests with travel legs (date, from/to, times, purpose, transport), other expenses in BDT, subtotals and related travel linkage for accurate reimbursement.
Purchase Configuration
Admin tools to manage Purchase Types and Purchase Items — including item flags, designation mapping, units and max budget controls for procurement workflows.
Designation Management
Configurable designations with Trendx codes, unit assignment, standard/role flags and unique-request settings to drive approval and access rules across the organization.
Staff Service Modules
A modular home for Purchase, Non Purchase, Unique, Leave Application, Travel Approval, Travel Allowance and related recruitment workflows — powered for Technology & Microfinance operations.
Technical Challenges
Obstacles we solved along the way
Multi-level Approvals
Supporting hierarchical approval chains (for example Area Manager to Regional Manager) while keeping status history transparent for every request.
Field-ready Usability
Designing forms and dashboards that stay clear for high-volume daily use across offices and project units.
Operational Accuracy
Capturing travel legs, allowances, purchase budgets and designation rules precisely so finance and operations teams can trust totals and audit trails.
