The Customer: 

Cangkat Hartamas Group

Incorporated in 2014, Cangkat Hartamas Group is made up of a number of individual companies: Pembinaan  Karisma Perwira Sdn Bhd, Karisma Perwira Sdn Bhd, Cangkat Hartamas Sdn Bhd, Pembinaan Cangkat Hartamas Sdn Bhd, and Total Construction Sdn Bhd. 

With a stated core business focus on the development of residential landed housing in Negeri Sembilan and nearby townships, the Group has been empowering their HR with altHR since 2021.

The Problem

Due to the nature of the industry, many employees at the Cangkat Group were not based in the office, often working at other cities/townships instead. Manually tracking leave entitlements, documentation of travel, and other common HR processes became a challenge due to this.  

Key leaders looked for two key elements in their search for a solution: 

Real-time leave monitoring

Reliable and digitalised leave tracking for employees to access remotely, allowing for better resource planning

Documentation access

Easy access to key company documents and other crucial communication channels on a single, powerful platform

“Transitioning from a manual leave application and approval model to a digital approach has helped managers to better make resource planning decisions based on historical data — available from wherever.”
