Project Details

Project Overview

I led the delivery of a custom R&D management platform for the Research & Development department of Swat Agro Chemicals, designed to replace fragmented, manual reporting processes with a centralized, role-based digital system. The objective was to improve visibility into field activities, technical trials, and decision-making across geographically distributed R&D teams.

Problem

  • Daily R&D activities were recorded manually with limited visibility for leadership
  • Field data, trial results, and technical notes were scattered across multiple tools
  • No standardized reporting or role-based access existed for executives and R&D heads

My Role

  • Owned end-to-end project delivery, from requirements discovery to production rollout
  • Acted as the primary point of contact between Swat Agro stakeholders and the delivery team
  • Defined scope, delivery milestones, and acceptance criteria

Solution

  • Delivered a web-based R&D platform with structured modules for daily reporting, meetings, technical operations, and analytics
  • Implemented role-based access for R&D Officers, R&D Heads, and Executive Viewers
  • Enabled photo uploads, structured notes, and centralized data storage for field activities
  • Built custom reporting dashboards to support management-level decision making

Delivery Approach

  • Led requirements workshops with R&D teams and subject-matter experts
  • Adopted Agile delivery with iterative releases and stakeholder feedback loops
  • Coordinated QA cycles to validate calculations, reporting accuracy, and system stability
  • Facilitated user onboarding and training to ensure smooth adoption

Outcome

  • Replaced manual reporting with a centralized, auditable digital workflow
  • Improved visibility of nationwide R&D activities for leadership
  • Enabled faster and more informed technical and strategic decisions
  • Established a scalable foundation for future R&D process digitization

Key takeaway: This project demonstrates my ability to translate complex operational needs into structured digital solutions through disciplined delivery, stakeholder alignment, and pragmatic execution.
