Larson Property Management
Project proposal
Introduction and plan
Larson property management, California’s one of largest property management companies having more than 1000 employees is a company providing full array of development and management services in commercial sector. Several activities included under its area are construction, maintenance and repair of commercial properties, billing services for commercial real estate clients, complete management services for retail buildings, apartment complexes and commercial offices and financial management.

The plan to work out this situation is replacement of legacy HRIS with the new HRIS system with additional features like ATS (application tracking system) to reduce the manual work by clerk and bring up the paperless hiring.
