Getting started
From sign-up to your first approved request in a day
Step 1 of 3: Create your workspace
Trust
Careful with your people's data
HR data is personal. We built isolation, encryption and an audit trail in from the start.
Every company is isolated
Every query is scoped to your organization on the server, so one company can never see another company’s data.
Sensitive fields are encrypted
Bank account, PAN, UAN and Aadhaar numbers are encrypted before they are stored.
Roles decide what you see
Employees, managers and organization admins each get their own workspace and permissions.
Payroll has a second pair of eyes
The people who prepare or review a payroll run cannot approve it. Errors must be cleared before it locks.
A trail for everything
Sensitive changes are written to an audit log you can search.
Built for devices and uploads
Biometric devices send punches straight to attendance, and documents are stored privately with short-lived links.
