Despite the vast time-saving and revenue-generating potential of the Internet today, many companies are still caught in unproductive and inefficient workflows. JustLogin may just have the solution to address and resolve this perennial issue.

Repetitive information processing and maintenance in any company costs time and money that can be better spent on achieving important business objectives. This is particularly true for human resource departments, where staff typically spend long hours maintaining leave records, meeting schedules, and internal information.

JustLogin, an ASP that hosts collaborative applications on the Internet, seeks to solve this problem. Founded by Kwa Kim Chiong in February last year, the company targets its solutions at mid-sized to large companies.

The company's suite of applications meets wide range of corporate needs. For instance, with eLeave, leave applications can be made and approved online. The program also substitutes physical leave records. As another example, eForm replaces numerous physical forms in the office. With eForm, you can process expenditure claims, and the program calculates the total figures every month for you.

The company's solutions have several advantages:

1. Because the applications are hosted on the Internet, businesses do not need to invest in costly hardware and software to run the programs. Implementation is also almost immediate;
2. Complicated maintenance is not necessary. The applications are fuss-free, with maintenance and upgrading becoming JustLogin's responsibility;
3. Users can test the programs before signing on the dotted line; and
4. Users can assess the solutions anytime and anywhere.

JustLogin's clients are already enjoying these benefits. Many users such as SES, AT&T Asia-Pacific and CCH Asia, have attested to higher cost savings, increased productivity, enhanced efficiency, and faster communication (See box story on SES case study). By delivering these benefits over the long term, the company is giving its customers a "smarter way to work". Incidentally, that's the tagline of the company.

Case Study: Electronic HR for SES

Jenny Yip, human resource manager at Singapore Engineering Software (SES), wanted her department to spend more time on crafting policies, rather than on mundane and unproductive record keeping. This meant performing HR functions like leave application, resource management, and record maintenance the electronic way. To do this, the company turned to JustLogin for help.

It took JustLogin only three weeks to customize their applications like eLeave, eSurvey and eMeeting for SES’ requirements. Hands-on training was also conducted for administrators.

After the setup was completed, Yip persuaded employees to welcome the new system. And the benefits quickly showed. "SES has been using JustLogin's suite of applications since March last year," said Yip. "It has helped us manage our human resource and office administrative processes at minimal cost and resources. Work productivity has also increased because with employee self-service, the HR department is no longer bogged down by requests."
