Employee self service applications are no longer a luxury—they are a necessity for companies looking to empower their workforce. Office Buddy, a mobile app seamlessly integrated with Odoo, has already transformed how employees interact with HR and manage daily activities.
With Phase 2, Office Buddy takes a bold leap forward by introducing advanced features that improve security, productivity, and employee engagement. From biometric logins to real-time team management, the app is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern organizations.
Employee self-service (ESS) systems allow staff to manage their own HR and administrative tasks. Instead of waiting for manual approvals, employees can check schedules, mark attendance, submit requests, and communicate directly with HR—all from a single app.
This not only saves time but also enhances transparency and accountability. With hybrid and remote work models becoming common, mobile ESS apps like Office Buddy ensure that employees stay connected wherever they are.
Security is a top priority. With biometric login, employees can now use fingerprint or facial recognition to access the app. This eliminates password fatigue and ensures secure access.
The new calendar view gives employees a personalized snapshot of work schedules, leave requests, and important events. It helps in better planning and managing work-life balance.
For those who prefer low-light environments, the dark mode option offers a modern, eye-friendly experience while using the app.
Employees often forget to log their work hours. The reminder feature ensures timely check-ins and check-outs, improving attendance accuracy.
Managers can now view and manage their team’s information directly from the app. This includes attendance, leave approvals, and quick team insights.
Communication gaps between HR and employees are a thing of the past. With this feature, employees can directly initiate conversations with HR, ensuring quicker resolutions.
In addition to biometrics, employees can use a unique passcode for check-ins. This flexibility ensures smooth attendance tracking in different workplace environments.
For organizations managing multiple entities, Office Buddy now supports multi-company operations. Employees and managers can seamlessly switch between companies within the same app.
