A leading teleradiology and telemedicine solutions provider, supporting healthcare operations across multiple hospital facilities and 2 million+ registered patients across 1,500+ telemedicine nodes globally, partnered with Matiyas to implement a modern HRMS for one of its public-sector healthcare clients.
With multiple hospitals requiring a streamlined and scalable solution for workforce and HR management, the project called for a reliable system capable of supporting complex healthcare operations without unnecessary customization. Rather than pursuing complex integrations with legacy tools, the healthcare technology provider and Matiyas adopted a greenfield approach, leveraging Frappe’s native capabilities and Matiyas’ functional expertise to build a purpose-fit HRMS solution.
The result was a purpose-built HRMS implemented with 85% less customization than the industry standard, deployed in just 8 weeks, and delivering a 70% reduction in HR processing time, while maintaining the simplicity, scalability, and reliability essential for healthcare operations.
About the Client
Company Profile
A leading digital healthcare technology company focused on advancing healthcare delivery through innovative technology solutions. The company provides teleradiology, telemedicine, and health information management solutions to healthcare institutions across India and other markets in Asia. With expertise in healthcare technology and digital transformation, the organization supports healthcare providers in improving clinical workflows, operational efficiency, and access to technology-enabled care.
The Challenge: HR Management for a Growing Hospital Group
Operational Pain Points
As the organization’s healthcare engagements expanded across multiple hospital facilities, managing HR operations across the client’s hospital network became increasingly complex:
Clinical Staffing Complexity: Managing diverse clinical and non-clinical staff across multiple hospital facilities required sophisticated shift management, licensing verification, and credential tracking. The organization needed systems to handle clinical rotations, on-call schedules, and staff availability across hospitals.
Legacy System Limitations: Existing HR processes relied on fragmented systems and spreadsheets:
• Attendance tracking across hospital campuses took 12+ hours weekly
• Payroll processing was error-prone, requiring 40+ hours monthly with multiple verification rounds
• Leave and shift swap approvals were managed through email chains, causing operational confusion
• Employee onboarding for clinical staff required 2-3 weeks of documentation collection and manual data entry
• Compliance documentation (licenses, certifications, training records) was scattered and difficult to audit
Healthcare-Specific Compliance Burden: The healthcare industry demands strict compliance with:
• Clinical staff licensing and credential verification
• Labor law requirements for hospital staffing
• Data protection and patient privacy regulations
• Training and certification tracking for healthcare professionals
• Shift hour regulations and rest period compliance
The client’s existing HR processes and systems struggled to efficiently manage the complex requirements across its hospital network, resulting in compliance risks, administrative burden, and increased HR processing time.
Integration Complexity: Rather than attempting to integrate multiple legacy systems and risk creating a “Frankenstein” solution, the organization needed a unified, purpose-built HRMS designed for modern hospital operations.
Scalability Constraints: With plans to expand the hospital group, the organization’s HR processes weren’t architected for growth. Adding new facilities meant adding proportional HR complexity.
Business Impact
These challenges created tangible business problems:
• 15% error rate in payroll processing affecting employee trust
• 35% of HR team’s time spent on manual data entry and reconciliation
• Compliance reporting turnaround of 7-10 days creating audit risk
• Clinical staff onboarding delays impacting patient care capacity
• Limited visibility into workforce metrics and staffing optimization opportunities
• Reduced staff satisfaction due to opaque, slow HR processes
The Solution: Fresh HRMS Built on Frappe Platform with Minimal Customization
Rather than attempting complex integrations with legacy systems, the healthcare technology provider and Matiyas chose a greenfield implementation strategy. This fresh-start approach, built on Frappe an open-source, modern ERP framework built on Python offered several critical advantages:
- Clean Architecture: No legacy system constraints limiting future flexibility
- Modern Foundation: Built on current technology standards and best practices
- Native Capabilities: Frappe’s extensive out-of-the-box functionality matched 85% of requirements without customization
- Simplified Support: Fewer customizations mean easier maintenance and upgrades
- Faster Deployment: Ability to leverage existing modules vs. building from scratch
Why Matiyas?
The organization selected Matiyas Solutions specifically for two critical capabilities:
Functional Expertise: Matiyas’ consultants possess deep functional competency in mapping Frappe’s native capabilities to business requirements. Rather than immediately resorting to customization, the Matiyas team could identify how to solve problems using Frappe’s built-in features, configured properly.
Healthcare Domain Knowledge: Matiyas understood that healthcare HR has unique requirements clinical credentialing, shift management, compliance tracking and knew which Frappe modules could address these with minimal custom development.
Strategic Approach
Phase 1: Requirements Mapping Integration Complexity: Rather than attempting to integrate multiple legacy systems and risk creating a “Frankenstein” solution, the organization needed a unified, purpose-built HRMS designed for modern hospital operations.
Phase 2: Configuration-First Design Rather than jumping into custom development, the team configured Frappe’s existing modules:
• Employee Master and organizational hierarchies
• Attendance Management with multi-location support
• Leave Management with hospital-specific policies
• Shift Management for round-the-clock operations
• Payroll Engine with India-specific tax compliance
• Performance Management workflows
• Document Management for compliance records
Phase 3: Minimal Customization Only 15% of the solution required custom development specifically:
• Clinical credential verification workflow
• Hospital-specific shift patterns and on-call scheduling
• Integration with the client’s telemedicine platform for staff availability
• Custom reports for hospital operations management
Phase 4: Phased Rollout Implementation across hospital facilities in phases to ensure stability and learning
