Client Background:
HopeBridge Foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Lahore, Pakistan, working to support educational access for underprivileged youth. With a team of over 50 staff members and volunteers spread across multiple locations, the foundation needed a better way to manage attendance, leave tracking, and performance records.
Challenge:
Before approaching VibeCatalyst.us, HopeBridge relied on manual spreadsheets and paper-based HR processes.
This led to:
- Frequent errors in payroll and attendance tracking
- Poor visibility into employee performance
- Time-consuming data entry and reporting
- Difficulty coordinating between multiple departments
Before approaching VibeCatalyst.us, HopeBridge relied on manual spreadsheets and paper-based HR processes.
This led to:
- Frequent errors in payroll and attendance tracking
- Poor visibility into employee performance
- Time-consuming data entry and reporting
- Difficulty coordinating between multiple departments
The organization wanted a low-cost, efficient, and reliable HR system that could be hosted securely online and accessed by remote staff.
Our Solution
VibeCatalyst.us analyzed the foundation’s workflow and proposed a hosted deployment of OrangeHRM, an open-source Human Resource Management solution.
We customized it to fit their nonprofit structure and enabled HR automation features such as:
- Centralized employee database
- Online leave requests and approvals
- Automated email notifications for attendance
- Role-based permissions for department heads
This was fully hosted and maintained by VibeCatalyst on a secure server, allowing the foundation to focus on impact rather than IT management.
Implementation Details
The setup included:
- OrangeHRM core installation and configuration
- Email automation for attendance alerts using Uncanny Automator
- Integration with Google Workspace (via Site Kit) for analytics and centralized access
- Weekly automated backups via UpdraftPlus
- Ongoing performance optimization using LiteSpeed Cache
The system was live in under one week, with complete staff onboarding and minimal disruption.
Results & Impact
After 3 months of using the new system:
- HR administrative time dropped by 60%
- Payroll accuracy improved by 95%
- Employee satisfaction rose, thanks to transparent and easy leave approvals
- Management gained instant insights through dashboards and reports
HopeBridge now runs all HR operations online, no manual paperwork, no missed records.
Client Testimonial
