Building a comprehensive Internal HR Management System from scratch is no small feat. Recently, I set out to build a fully functional, highly responsive HR dashboard that can handle real-world agency requirements.
In this post, I want to share the tech stack I chose, the features I implemented, and how these tools made the development process incredibly smooth.
🛠️ The Tech Stack
To ensure the system is fast, scalable, and easy to maintain, I went with a very modern stack:
- Frontend Framework: React 18 powered by Vite. (Vite’s HMR and build speeds are an absolute game-changer compared to Create React App).
- Language: TypeScript to maintain a strictly typed, bug-free codebase.
- Backend & Database: Supabase. It provided out-of-the-box authentication, Row Level Security (RLS), and a robust PostgreSQL database without the hassle of setting up a custom backend.
- Styling: Tailwind CSS (v3.4) for rapid, highly customizable UI design.
- Data Visualization: Recharts for building interactive, clean charts on the overview dashboard.
- Animations & Icons: Framer Motion for smooth transitions and Lucide React for consistent iconography.
✨ Key Features of the System
I wanted the dashboard to cover the most critical operations for any digital agency or tech startup.
1. Centralized Dashboard Analytics
The main view provides a company-wide overview. From total headcount and daily attendance rates to open positions and leave distributions. I used Recharts to visualize the attendance trends over the last 10 working days seamlessly.

2. Employee & Department Management
Managing roles, statuses (Probation/Permanent), and departmental budgets all in one place. The UI is built to filter through employees instantly.

3. Advanced Leave & Attendance Tracking
Tracking clock-in/out times, remote work (WFH) statuses, and handling leave approvals. Setting up the database schema in Supabase for relational data between employees, shifts, and leave logs was surprisingly intuitive.

💡 Key Takeaways
Using Supabase alongside React completely shifted how I approach full-stack development. Not having to write boilerplate CRUD APIs saved me dozens of hours. Paired with Tailwind and Vite, the developer experience was incredibly fast.
