Zeba
HRMS for small business
HRMS software for small business should cover attendance, leave, and India statutory payroll at a price founders can explain - then add field GPS when your team leaves the office.
From ₹35/user/month
Free core payroll
Desk + field ready
Why Zeba
Most small businesses do not fail HRMS selection on missing AI talent modules. They fail when PF is wrong, LOP is argued on WhatsApp, and field staff never punch cleanly. Zeba is HRMS for that operator reality.
SMB fit
Small teams need attendance, leave, and statutory payroll without buying an enterprise talent suite. Zeba is built for that SMB job - including geofence or working-hours GPS when you have branch or field staff.

Enterprise suites sold to 15-person companies
Free clocks that never reach LOP
Payroll in Excel after every cycle
Field staff managed on WhatsApp location
Small teams cannot fund a six-month HCM program. Pick software HR can configure without a dedicated IT project office.
PF, ESI, state PT, and TDS matter even at 20 employees. Wrong contributions hurt more than missing enterprise talent modules.
Office, branch, and field roles need different punch rules - one blunt rule creates LOP fights.
Per-user or clear seat bands beat opaque enterprise quotes when cash is tight.
Approvals and punches happen on phones. Desktop-only HRMS dies in the field.
Add reimbursements and live location later without migrating the same people twice.

India statutory logic in-product
For small Indian businesses, the best HRMS covers attendance, leave, and statutory payroll without an enterprise project. Zeba is built for that mix - including geofence or field GPS when you have site or sales staff - at SMB pricing.
If punches and leave already break salary accuracy, start with attendance + payroll together. If you only disburse salaries for a tiny desk team, a payroll-first tool can work until exceptions pile up.
SMB tools often start from tens of rupees per user per month or a few thousand rupees for a seat band. Zeba starts from ₹35/user/month on yearly billing, with free core payroll on the free plan. Always model field modules and compliance needs in the demo.
Yes. Geofence punches help site and branch teams without buying biometrics for every location. Zeba supports geofence attendance and working-hours live location inside the same HRMS small teams already use for payroll.
Attendance, leave, and India payroll at SMB pricing - with room to add geofence and field GPS when you grow.
