HybHR - Our Hybrid HR & Team Ops Platform

1. 🧠 Project Overview

At BiTechX, we’re a team of 10+ specialists—designers, developers, and operations experts—who work in a hybrid setup, switching between home and local co-working spaces. Managing that kind of flexibility requires more than just good communication—it demands reliable, integrated systems that keep everything running smoothly.

For the longest time, we relied on a sprawling set of Google Sheets to track everything from payments to leaves to workspace location. But as we planned to scale, it became clear: spreadsheets weren’t going to cut it. So we did what any ambitious tech team would do—we built our own platform.

And that’s how HybHR was born: a lightweight, fully customized HR and team management app made for modern, hybrid teams—starting with us.

2. 🔎 The Challenge

Even teams that build great tools need tools that work for them.
We love Google Sheets (we really do), but the manual juggling of dozens of tabs for:

• Payment logs

• Attendance

• Leave tracking

• Workday limits

• Contracts
  …was costing us time, accuracy, and sanity.

We explored tools like Jibble and Workfolio, but they didn’t suit our use case: small but fast-growing hybrid teams that work with contractors, freelancers, and flexible work hours.

Key challenges we faced:

• 🧾 Fragmented admin workflows across multiple docs

• 📆 No centralized system for time, leave, and payments

• ⚙️ Low flexibility in existing SaaS tools for hybrid ops

• 🔍 Difficulty in monitoring real-time availability and performance

3. 🛠️ Our Approach

If it doesn’t exist, build it better.
We didn’t just want another HR tool—we wanted a tailored platform that mirrored our own working style and could serve as the foundation for future team management systems.

What we focused on:

• 🎯 Defined core use cases from both team member and admin perspectives

• 🧑‍💻 Designed a clean, modular UI to support daily operations

• 🔐 Built secure, role-based access for members and admins

• 🔄 Integrated automation for tracking work, calculating payments, and approvals

• 🧩 Designed it to power shared logins across other BiTechX apps like Blogs & Connect

4. 🔑 Key Features

5. 🎨 Design Highlights

• Clean light mode interface with soft grayscale tones and subtle color accents

• Dashboard layout is organized by sections for quick access to key actions, team data, and requests

• Use of progress bars and tags for visual clarity in attendance, roles, and approvals

• Flat, modern UI with clear visual hierarchy and minimal distractions

6. 🧰 Technology Stack

7. 📈 Outcome & Results

• 🕓 Reduced monthly admin time by 55%

• 📋 Minimizing spreadsheet dependency reduced manual errors and eliminated #REF! headaches

• 🔒 Centralized user system now powers Blogs, Connect, and HybHR

• 🔄 Fully integrated operations with real-time updates and team-wide visibility.

8. 💬 Internal Reflection

“Building HybHR gave us the freedom to operate how we want—and laid the groundwork for how we’ll scale BiTechX in the coming years.”

9. 🚀 What’s Next?

We’re currently designing a ship-ready MMP of HybHR—customized for other small businesses like ours that want to manage hybrid teams without spreadsheets, stress, or subscription overload.

If you’re a founder juggling Google Sheets and Slack threads to keep your team organized—HybHR might just be the system you’ve been waiting for.
