MyWorkplace: Rescuing a Stalled Mobile Strategy for a Modern Workforce

The Problem

A mobile-first workforce trapped in a desktop-only system.

MyWorkplace provided a trusted personnel management platform, but as the market shifted, their legacy desktop constraints became a major competitive risk:

• The Mobility Gap: Employees needed to apply for leave, clock in/out, and manage shifts from the job site, not an office desk.
• The Cycle of Failure: Multiple previous attempts to build a mobile app had failed to reach the finish line, leaving the team wary and without a stable solution.
• Competitive Pressure: Without a mobile offering, MyWorkplace faced the real threat of losing long-term customers to more modern, “app-first” competitors.

They didn’t just need a developer; they needed a partner to take full ownership of the architecture and prove that a mobile solution was actually achievable.

The Solution

Expert architecture and a focus on ‘Production-Ready’ delivery.

We stepped in as the mobile architects and delivery lead, stripping away the complexity that had stalled previous teams:

• Pragmatic Tech Stack: We selected Ionic with Angular to create a high-performance, cross-platform experience that integrated seamlessly with their existing backend.
• Architectural Reset: We rebuilt the mobile foundation from the ground up, identifying and resolving the core technical blockers that had derailed prior attempts.
• End-to-End Ownership: We took full responsibility for the frontend architecture, ensuring every feature—from shift tracking to leave requests—was stable and scalable.
• Automated Delivery: We implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that builds and deployments were no longer a manual “guessing game” but a reliable, repeatable process.

Our focus was on providing a working, production-ready solution that gave the MyWorkplace team their confidence back.

The Results

Functionality restored and a clear path to market.

By providing the necessary technical leadership, we turned a stalled project into a tangible business asset:

• Operational Mobility: Employees gained the ability to manage their work lives on the go, significantly improving user engagement and data accuracy.
• Workforce Visibility: Employers moved from “delayed updates” to “real-time insights,” allowing for much sharper workforce planning and payroll management.
• De-risked Future: We handed over a stable, maintainable codebase and a clear architectural roadmap, ensuring the app can grow as the business does.

Even though our engagement concluded before the final public rollout, MyWorkplace was left with a fully functional solution and the technical certainty required to move forward and modernise their brand.

This project proves that the right mix of technical leadership and hands-on delivery can rescue a failing project and turn legacy constraints into a modern success story.
