Before Tropa: Juggling Fires with Spreadsheets
Meet Grace, an HR officer at a growing company in Manila. She starts her day with a full mug of coffee and a mountain of tabs open on her computer. Timekeeping, attendance corrections, leave approvals, door logs, payroll updates, and task monitoring — all managed manually.
- 8:00 AM: Grace opens three different Excel files. One for attendance, one for schedules, one for leave tracking. She’s already getting texts from employees asking her to update their check-in times.
- 9:30 AM: The biometric logs don’t match the schedule. She’s copy-pasting data to fix errors manually. A mistake here could delay payroll again.
- 11:00 AM: A supervisor asks for a report on late employees for the week. Grace has to dig through logs and build a chart from scratch. That’s another hour gone.
- 2:00 PM: Payroll cutoff is coming up. Grace manually rechecks totals, but she’s interrupted by a maintenance staff member asking if a task was assigned to them — she checks a shared Google Sheet and realizes it wasn’t updated.
- 4:00 PM: An auditor from management asks for access logs for a certain day. That means exporting a file from the door access system and matching it with a name from HR’s records — again, manually.
- 5:30 PM: Grace logs off late, tired and frustrated. She’s great at HR — but all her time is spent on data cleanup, manual tracking, and double-checking everything.
After Tropa: Automation, Accuracy, and Peace of Mind
Now meet Grace, post-Tropa.
With Tropa’s cloud-based HR and operations platform, her day looks very different.
- 8:00 AM: She logs into Tropa. The dashboard shows real-time attendance synced with door access logs. Corrections are easy and well-documented.
- 9:00 AM: A supervisor needs a report? Grace clicks once and exports a chart showing weekly attendance trends — no manual work needed.
- 11:00 AM: Leave requests are all submitted digitally. She reviews them with one click, with complete records and proper approvals logged.
- 2:00 PM: Payroll is accurate and on time. Attendance and overtime are automatically calculated and ready for review — even across multiple shifts.
- 3:00 PM: Maintenance tasks are assigned and tracked within the system. Staff upload photos when done. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- 4:00 PM: Need a door access report? It’s already linked to employee profiles. She finds the data she needs in under a minute.
- 5:00 PM: Grace signs off early, confident that everything’s in place. She finally has time for strategic work — training, policy improvements, and employee engagement.
