Why teams switch
Our team configures leave, shift, and payroll rules and migrates your data for free. Employees only need the mobile app to punch in, apply leave, and download payslips.
Real people on call, WhatsApp, and email reply in around 15 min during business hours (Mon-Fri, 10am-7pm IST) - in English or Hindi. Payroll-week questions do not wait for a ticket queue.
A modern web and mobile HRMS where attendance, leave, LOP, and payroll sit on one calendar - not a decade of modules stitched together.
Desk staff, site staff, and field sales each get the right attendance rule. Live location runs only during working hours and stops at check-out.
Late marks, half days, leave, and LOP flow straight into PF, ESI, PT, and TDS - so finance is not rebuilding the month in Excel.
₹35/user/month (billed yearly) with a free plan and no setup fee. You can see the price before you talk to sales.
