This paper presents the enhancements made to 7Factor’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, a Staffing Tool designed to streamline the company’s time tracking and accounting functionalities. 7Factor, a software company specializing in custom DevOps and cloud-based solutions, previously relied on TimeIQ for time tracking. However, the limitations of TimeIQ, such as its complex user interface and lack of customization in billing rates, led to the development of an in-house solution tailored to 7Factor's specific needs. Our Major Qualifying Project (MQP) focused on further optimizing this Staffing Tool, primarily by integrating an automatic notification system. This system was designed to assist employees in organizing their time and keeping track of project deadlines without the need for manual tracking, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and workflow management. The paper details the design and implementation process of this notification system, the challenges encountered, and the milestones achieved, and provides recommendations for future work to continue improving the tool​​​​.
