base77 is geared to leveraging infrastructure and communication technologies to the hilt to ensure smooth operations, efficient coordination and on-time delivery.

Workflow Management and Regular Client Updates : At base77, it is mandatory for each project team to follow a set of Reporting Standards. This ensures that the team is on target for the project.

A weekly Time Sheet System (used to account for the time each team member allots for the project at hand) is submitted to the Project Manager at the end of every week. The objective of this system is to continuously monitor schedules, productivity, costs and time utilization.

In addition, an Engineer's Work Report is prepared on a monthly basis to account for the per month progress of every team member. This details the work done during the last period, problems encountered and the objectives for the next period. This helps in effective workflow management and also enables us to take effective steps in meeting customer requirements.

The Project Manager also maintains an Activity Time Log to identify any deviations as and when they occur. This helps us to monitor the progress of the project and take immediate and appropriate action.

Our QA team has developed a focused quality control checklist which ensures that every solution delivered by us measures up to the highest possible international standards.
