Impact Metrics

Overview of the Project

Hyundai Plus is a mobile-first employee app built for Hyundai Motor India during COVID-19. It consolidates health and safety updates, daily self-checks, proximity alerts, and weekly shift schedules into a single platform. The app helps employees stay informed and safe, while HR and supervisors use it as a dependable channel for clear, timely communication.

Challenges

  1. A large, distributed workforce needed timely updates during COVID-19.
  2. Emails and noticeboards couldn’t ensure delivery or acknowledgement.
  3. Health screenings were inconsistent across employees.
  4. Enforcing distancing norms on the shop floor was difficult.
  5. Shift details were scattered in manual channels, creating confusion.

Approach

  1. Built a mobile-first hub for health, safety, and shift communication.
  2. Enabled secure employee logins to ensure privacy and access control.
  3. Designed daily self-check and screening flows for repeat use.
  4. Added proximity alerts to encourage safe shop-floor behavior.
  5. Simplified navigation so employees could complete tasks quickly.

Key Components / Integrations

Communications Hub – A central space for leadership updates (like MD messages), emergency contacts, and quick-access safety advisories. This ensured important notices weren’t missed and employees always knew where to look.

Health Self-Assessment – A daily flow for employees to complete a quick self-screening and log temperature checks. The design kept it short and repeatable, encouraging compliance without slowing down entry.

Proximity Awareness – Bluetooth-based nudges alerted employees when distancing wasn’t maintained, supporting safer shop-floor behavior.

Shift & Operations – Weekly shift plans included timings, bus routes, and boarding points personalized for each user. This reduced confusion and minimized manual queries.

Navigation & UX – Clean tab structure (Home · Connect · Proximity · More) and card-based layouts for fast access to repeated tasks.

Accelerators / IP Used

We leveraged pre-built modules for authentication, push messaging, and card-style layouts. Reusing health check flows and dashboard patterns sped up delivery, while Hyundai’s enterprise security policies guided implementation.

Outcomes / Impact

Communication reach improved significantly, with employees receiving updates through a channel they already check daily. Screening became routine before plant entry, proximity nudges encouraged safer behavior, and clarity on shifts and transport cut down on repetitive queries. Upcoming analytics will provide hard numbers on screening compliance, message reads, and proximity events.

Before

  1. Updates scattered across emails and noticeboards
  2. Manual reminders for health screenings
  3. Shift details inconsistent and unclear
  4. Supervisors spent time chasing confirmations

After

  1. One app for communication and safety updates
  2. Daily self-checks and temperature reporting
  3. Real-time proximity alerts for safer behavior
  4. Updated shift schedules are available anytime

What’s Next

The roadmap expands Hyundai Plus beyond COVID use cases. Future releases will include wellness checks, fatigue reporting, multilingual content, and role-based broadcasts. Geo-aware nudges will support site entry, while analytics dashboards will track message reach, screening completion, and proximity trends — giving leaders actionable insights.
