Client Overview

A precision engineering company headquartered in Glenrothes, Scotland, specialising in the in-house design, manufacture, assembly, testing, and servicing of advanced equipment for the global subsea oil and gas industry. Operating as a mid-scale business with a growing workforce, the HR team faced increasing pressure to manage employee onboarding efficiently across emails and spreadsheets, with no central repository for critical records.

Project Overview

A UK-based professional services firm needed to replace its informal, paper-based employee offboarding process with a structured digital system. The solution was built using Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint Online. Managers submit digital exit forms, attach remarks, and apply digital signatures through Power Apps. Automated notifications are sent to HR upon submission. Completed and signed exit forms are converted to PDFs and stored in structured SharePoint libraries organised by department and exit date — ensuring full audit readiness.

Client Requirements

  • Create a digital Exit Form for managers to complete and sign upon employee departure.
  • Allow managers to attach remarks and supporting information to the exit record.
  • Automate instant HR notification upon exit form submission.
  • Generate signed exit forms as PDFs for compliance and record-keeping.
  • Store final exit PDFs in a structured SharePoint library organised by department and exit date.
  • Ensure all offboarding records are searchable and audit-ready.
