How we manage our growing team

Most of our customers come to OrderMS with the same story. Stock lived in a spreadsheet, orders lived in WhatsApp, and nobody was quite sure which version was right. We spend our days helping them move all of that into one system they can trust.

A while ago we noticed we were not following our own advice. Our inventory was in order, but our team was not. Leave requests came in by message, attendance sat in a sheet someone updated on Fridays, and every new joiner was set up from memory.

The problem looked familiar

People data breaks in the same ways stock data does:

  • No single source of truth. Two people kept two leave balances, and they rarely agreed.
  • Approvals got lost. A request sent to a manager on holiday simply waited.
  • Onboarding depended on who remembered. Laptops, accounts and documents arrived on different days for every new hire.
  • What we changed

    We moved our team onto Leagrow, an HR platform, and kept the setup simple:

  • Leave: everyone applies in one place, sees their own balance, and the request goes to the right approver.
  • Attendance: the team checks in each day, so the end-of-month review is a report, not a spreadsheet hunt.
  • Onboarding: each new joiner gets the same checklist, with every task assigned to a named person and a due date.
  • What we learned

    The lesson was the one we already teach about inventory. When everyone works from one record, the arguments about whose numbers are right stop, and the time goes back into the work itself.

    If your stock still lives in a spreadsheet, that is where we can help. Book a free OrderMS demo and we will show you what one system for orders and inventory looks like.
