About Company

Cleaning Innovation Center Sdn Bhd (CIC) is a Malaysian digital company that builds and operates a specialised HRM platform for the cleaning and facility management industry. CIC’s SaaS product helps cleaning companies across Malaysia manage their dispatched workforce, automate payroll, and track attendance — with a mobile-first experience purpose-built for the realities of on-site cleaning operations.

The Challenge

CIC’s HRM SaaS product had grown over the years but was running on aging code. To stay competitive in the cleaning-industry HR tech space and onboard larger customer cleaning operators, they needed to modernise their platform across three dimensions: codebase, payroll automation, and a mobile-first experience for their customers’ field workforce.

The legacy HRM codebase carried years of accumulated bugs, broken modules, and outdated framework dependencies. Payroll calculations were inconsistent. Maintenance was avoided because nobody trusted the change-impact of touching old code — constraining the speed at which CIC could roll out new features for their customer cleaning companies.

On the field side, CIC’s customer cleaning companies had no native mobile experience to give their dispatched workers — clock-in, task completion, and site evidence were still happening over paper checklists and WhatsApp messages. CIC needed a branded mobile app, published on Google Play, with proper attendance verification, to offer as part of their HRM product.

HRM SaaS Codebase Refactor: Khalbyte took over CIC’s existing HRM codebase, modernised framework dependencies, refactored fragile modules, fixed long-standing payroll bugs, and reconciled the database schema with documentation — restoring CIC’s ability to ship new features at speed.

 

CIC Mobile App (Google Play): Native Android app for cleaning-company field workers covering attendance check-in, task management, photo-evidence capture, and live issue reporting — published on Google Play under the CIC brand, ready for CIC to offer to their customer cleaning operators. Available on Google Play.

 

GPS Geofencing Attendance: The mobile app validates that clock-in/clock-out happens at the assigned client site, not from home or a coffee shop — giving CIC’s customer cleaning companies reliable, location-verified attendance data instead of paper-based trust.

 

Automated Payroll Generation: Monthly payroll runs shifted from multi-day manual exercises to one-click automated cycles for CIC’s customer cleaning operators. Attendance feeds from the mobile app combine with leave deductions, allowances, and overtime calculations into a generated payroll batch ready for review.

The Outcomes

These deliverables strengthened CIC’s HRM SaaS product offering and unlocked new customer-acquisition capability:

CIC’s HRM SaaS codebase stabilised and modernised — new feature rollouts no longer blocked by legacy-code fragility.
Payroll automation became a feature CIC could pitch to new customer cleaning operators — a meaningful competitive edge against generic HRM products.
Mobile app on Google Play gave CIC a complete mobile-first product story to take to market.
Geofencing attendance verification turned a high-friction problem (time fraud) into a feature that customer cleaning companies actively pay for.
Faster product iteration cycle — CIC’s engineering team can now confidently extend the HRM platform with new modules and integrations.

This project reflects Khalbyte’s ability to modernise a SaaS product’s engineering foundations while shipping forward-looking mobile features in parallel — under a single, coordinated engagement.
