Managing time and dates in HRMS systems has always been one of the trickier tasks. We’ve seen firsthand how clunky and inefficient traditional solutions can be. Entries overlap, the interface is confusing, and time-consuming workflows become the norm. As a team, we knew something had to change. We couldn’t just accept a system that left us—or anyone else—frustrated. We wanted to build something better. Something that felt seamless, intuitive, and truly helpful for managing time and date entries.
We had to overcome the limitations of existing tools while addressing a wide range of user needs. A date picker that didn’t quite fit. Time entry systems that were too rigid and cumbersome. And worst of all—the fear of human error creeping in, whether it was entering the wrong time or leaving out crucial data. It was overwhelming. As we delved deeper into the problem, we realized just how complex it was to create something that didn’t just work—but that was effortless to use.
After all that frustration, the question remained: How could we design a system that would eliminate these pain points while providing a flexible, user-friendly experience that would truly stand out?
The solution came with countless hours of brainstorming, designing, and testing. We had a vision, and we were determined to bring it to life. This is where the advanced dialog box in CheckTrack was born.
Complication
When Traditional Methods Fall Short
The reliance on spreadsheets and outdated tools simply can’t keep up with today’s demands. One of our clients summed it up perfectly in a conversation:
“We keep losing track of invoices, our tax filings are a mess, and we can’t get real-time insights into our financial health.”
His frustrations were clear—and we knew he wasn’t alone. These challenges are all too common for businesses navigating modern financial hurdles. It was evident: traditional methods weren’t enough, and adopting a smarter solution was the way forwar
Here’s how we transformed frustration into functionality
Two Seamless Tabs: Date and Time
We didn’t want users bouncing between multiple screens, so we carefully crafted two focused tabs: Date and Time. It was critical for us to make sure each tab served its purpose without causing confusion. The result? A dialog box that’s intuitive and fluid.
Enhanced Date Selection
Basic date pickers weren’t going to cut it. So, we decided to integrate a third-party date picker—but with heavy customization. We introduced color-coded days (red for non-working days like holidays and weekends), optimal spacing for clarity, and the ability to select multiple dates at once for bulk time entries. Time is precious, and we were determined to save it.
Sophisticated Time Picker: Built In-House
The time picker was a labor of love. We couldn’t find one that truly suited our needs, so we built our own from scratch. The in-house solution is flexible and customizable—color options, adjustable time intervals, and a dual-time feature for precision. Plus, the subtle box-shadow effect? A little touch that adds a professional aesthetic we knew would make a difference.
Thoughtful Functionalities to Prevent Errors
But we didn’t stop there. We built in checks and balances to reduce errors. If someone tried to enter time on a non-working day, a prompt would appear—no more accidental entries. Overlapping times are flagged in real-time, and we even made sure users couldn’t enter more than 24 hours of work at once. It wasn’t easy, but we knew it was worth it to prevent mistakes.
We also tackled bulk operations—something we knew HR managers desperately needed. With just a few clicks, you can apply time entries across multiple dates at once. And for leave management? A simple checkbox makes it clear whether someone is taking a full-day leave.
Why This Dialog Box Stands Out
Building this dialog box was about more than just meeting a list of requirements. It was about making a difference. We wanted to create something that was
- User-Centric: Combining third-party tools with custom development for an intuitive experience.

CheckTrack Was Worth the Effort
Creating CheckTrack wasn’t easy. We faced challenges, took risks, and poured hours into perfecting every feature. But the result is something we’re incredibly proud of: an HRMS app that makes time and date management a breeze. It’s not just about functionality—it’s about making life easier for HR professionals. It’s about making time management feel effortless, whether you’re managing multiple time entries or ensuring every detail is captured perfectly.
CheckTrack is designed with HR professionals’ unique needs in mind, streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency. It’s a solution built to address the complexities of time management while minimizing errors and saving time.
