Tiivistelmä
This thesis aims to enhance the usability of existing workforce management software on smartwatches operating on Wear OS. The idea is to design a new application Quinyx Wear OS for Android smartwatches, a more convenient way for service workers to register their working hours. Thus, they can clock in and out from their smartwatches when performing work tasks and put in data for employers and payroll teams to work on the cost of salaries. The client for this project is Quinyx Oy. To achieve this goal, a usable demo prototype was developed.
Quinyx wOS purposely eliminates the frustration of punching in and out from a mobile phone app for frontline employees. It also simplifies the process of clocking the working times and allows the users to put in data with ease and convenience. The requirement for using the application is that the users should have smartwatches with wear OS for the current time. The author will thoroughly analyze the project’s development through multiple extended research findings and published articles, with additional feedback from any stakeholder involved. The entire process is conducted using various modern tools with waterfall methodology, a sequential project management approach well-suited for projects with clearly defined end goals.
The project utilized background knowledge and research methods to design and implement the demo prototype. Extensive research was conducted to understand the requirements and challenges associated with shift clock punch-in and punch-out functionality on Wear OS devices. The main achievements of this project include the successful development of a functional demo prototype that allows employees to conveniently punch in and out of their shifts using a smartwatch. The prototype demonstrates improved usability and efficiency for workforce management tasks on Wear OS devices. In terms of exploitability, the conclusions drawn from this thesis highlight the potential of integrating the developed demo prototype into Quinyx's existing software. The prototype provides valuable insights into the benefits of utilizing smartwatches for workforce management tasks. Furthermore, the thesis proposes development proposals and suggestions for optimizing and refining the application.
Overall, this project contributes to advancing wearable technology in the workforce management industry. It offers a tangible solution that enhances the usability of existing software for smartwatches operating on Wear OS, improving efficiency and user experience for both employees and employers.
