ZOHO SYSTEM WORKFLOW
The system was designed to track worked hours, banked time, sick leave, and holidays while supporting manual approval workflows and accounting exports. All employee-facing interactions were handled through Zoho People, with Zoho Creator used as the processing and control layer.
The interface was built entirely in French and structured to work without requiring Zoho Creator licenses for employees.
Key Features
Automated Hour Collection
Worked hours are pulled directly from Zoho Projects task timers and structured by employee, date, project, hour type, and duration.
Central Processing in Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator acts as the control layer for data storage, validation, approvals, and reporting.
Weekly Timesheet Approval
Admins review and approve weekly timesheets through a dedicated interface before data is finalized.
Accounting Export
A single action generates one consolidated Excel or PDF file containing approved hours for all employees, ready for accounting submission.
Employee Visibility via Zoho People
Employees can view their accumulated banked time, sick leave, holiday balances, and usage history directly in Zoho People.
Time-Off Requests Without Creator Licenses
Employees request banked or sick leave through a simple form in Zoho People, with approval workflows handled in the background.
French-Only Interface
All interfaces, labels, and workflows were implemented entirely in French to match client requirements
Mission
The mission of this project was to centralize time tracking, accumulated hours, and leave management into a single, reliable system without disrupting existing workflows.
The client needed accurate tracking of worked hours from Zoho Projects, manual validation before accounting submission, and clear visibility for employees over their banked time, sick leave, and holidays. At the same time, the solution had to avoid additional licensing costs and remain simple for employees to use.
This project aimed to bridge operational tracking, HR visibility, and accounting requirements while keeping access controlled, approvals structured, and data consistent across systems.
Impact
The system replaced manual tracking, fragmented approvals, and repetitive reporting with a single structured workflow.
Administrative effort was reduced, approval accuracy improved, and accounting received consistent, consolidated reports. Employees gained clear visibility into their balances without needing access to additional tools.
The result was a scalable, license-efficient solution that aligned HR, operations, and accounting without increasing complexity.

Issue 01 of The Leak Report is out.
Most AI advice aimed at small businesses is written for companies that do not look like yours. It assumes a data team, a backlog of clean records, and someone whose job is to own the rollout.
In a 5–50 person service business, the person evaluating AI is usually also the person quoting jobs, chasing payment, and covering for whoever is on leave. That is not a smaller version of an enterprise problem. It is a different problem.
Inside: the four workflows that quietly leak money, the one distinction that decides whether a project works, four tests a first project has to pass, and what it costs — published, because a quote request wastes your time.
It is deliberately unexciting. The most valuable thing in these pages is a test that sends some projects back.
Highly professional AI for business integration! Explaining machine learning models through clean UI is brilliant.
For years, AI has been measured by how well it could answer questions.
Now it's being measured by how much work it can accomplish.
From automating workflows and analyzing data to coordinating tasks and supporting decisions, AI is evolving from a conversational tool into an execution engine.
The next wave of innovation won't come from AI that talks better.
It will come from AI that gets things done.
