The Cost of Managing HR Without Proper Software
Most Indian SMEs manage HR across a mix of WhatsApp groups, Excel sheets, biometric devices with no central system, and paper leave forms. Each tool works in isolation — and the gaps between them cost you money and create legal risk.

Attendance Data Is Never Accurate
Biometric device data doesn't sync to payroll. Missed punches are corrected on WhatsApp. Late arrivals are either ignored or disputed. By payroll day, nobody is confident the attendance data is right.
Leave Management Is Informal
Employees apply for leave on WhatsApp. Approvals are verbal. Leave balances are tracked in Excel that only one person understands. Disputes at year-end about how many days were actually taken are common.
Payroll Takes a Full Day
Every month, someone spends 6–8 hours manually calculating salaries, adding overtime, subtracting leave deductions, computing PF and ESI, and then entering it all into Tally. One error cascades across the whole sheet.
Statutory Compliance Is a Guessing Game
PF contribution thresholds, ESI applicability, professional tax slabs, and TDS rates change. If you're calculating manually from memory or outdated Excel formulas, you're likely non-compliant without knowing it.
What Your Employee Management System Will Do
Every system is built custom for your business — your shift patterns, your leave policy, your salary structure. These are the standard modules we include.
Attendance Management
Mobile app check-in, GPS location verification, biometric device integration, QR code, or manual entry — whichever method works for your team. All attendance feeds into a single system, not separate silos.
Leave Management
Employees apply for leave from the mobile app. Managers approve or reject with one tap. Leave balances update automatically. Annual leave, sick leave, and casual leave are tracked separately. No more WhatsApp leave requests.
Payroll Processing
One-click monthly payroll that pulls attendance, leave, overtime, and deductions automatically. Calculates gross salary, PF, ESI, PT, TDS, and net salary. Export payroll data to Tally or your bank's bulk salary upload format.
Salary Slips
Auto-generated PDF salary slips sent to employees by WhatsApp or email on payroll day. Employees can also download past salary slips from the self-service app at any time — saving your HR team dozens of monthly requests.
Statutory Compliance
PF ECR file, ESI return, Form 16, and professional tax challans — all generated automatically in the exact format required by EPFO, ESIC, and state government portals. Compliance is a scheduled task, not a monthly panic.
Employee Self-Service App
Employees check their attendance, apply for leave, view leave balance, download salary slips, submit expense claims, and update contact details — all from the mobile app. Fewer HR queries, happier team.
Performance Management
Set KPIs and targets per employee or role. Managers fill quarterly review forms. Employees see their own scores. Performance history links to salary increment and promotion decisions — giving you a documented, defensible process.
Document Management
Store employee documents digitally — offer letters, ID proof, educational certificates, contracts, and policy acknowledgements. Set expiry alerts for visa, driving licence, and training certifications. Audit-ready at all times.
Alerts & Notifications
Automatic reminders for probation end dates, work anniversaries, contract renewals, document expiry, and pending leave approvals. Nobody falls through the cracks — the system tracks what your HR team can't keep in their heads.
Attendance Methods — Choose What Works for Your Team
Not all businesses have a single attendance method. We support all of them, and they all feed into the same payroll system.
Mobile App + GPS
Employees check in from the app. GPS confirms they're at the right location. No device to install. Perfect for field teams, sales staff, and remote employees.
Biometric Device
Connect your existing fingerprint or face recognition device. We support all major Indian biometric brands (ZKTeco, Essl, Hikvision). Data syncs automatically — no manual export needed.
QR Code Scan
Each employee has a unique QR card. Supervisor scans it at the entry point using the app. Works on any Android smartphone — no dedicated hardware needed.
Manual Entry
For daily wage workers and contract staff. Supervisors mark present/absent for each person in their group. Manual entries are tracked separately from automated attendance for audit purposes.

Technology We Use
Frequently Asked Questions
Can employees mark attendance using GPS location from their phone?
Yes. The mobile app supports GPS-based attendance — employees check in and the system verifies they are within the allowed location radius. GPS attendance is ideal for field staff, sales teams, and remote work scenarios. Multiple location zones can be configured per employee type.
Does the employee management software integrate with Tally for payroll?
Yes. We build Tally integration so salary journal entries and payroll data export to Tally automatically. Your accounts team gets clean monthly payroll data in Tally without any manual re-entry from the HR system.
Can employees apply for leave and view payslips from the mobile app?
Yes. The employee self-service mobile app lets employees apply for leave, check leave balance, view and download payslips, submit expense claims, and update personal details — without calling HR or visiting the office.
Does it support different employee types — permanent, contract, and daily wage?
Yes. The system supports permanent employees, contract staff, consultants, and daily wage workers — each with their own attendance, leave, and salary rules. Different payroll cycles for different employee categories are fully supported.
Is the software compliant with Indian labour laws — PF, ESI, PT, TDS?
Yes. The payroll module calculates PF, ESI, Professional Tax, and TDS automatically based on current Indian statutory rates. It generates Form 16, PF ECR file, and ESI return files in the exact formats required by EPFO and ESIC portals.
We have branches in multiple cities. Can one system manage all of them?
Yes. The Enterprise version supports multi-branch and multi-location operations. HR at each branch manages their team independently, while the head office has a consolidated view across all locations, departments, and payroll entities.
