The problem it solves

Why HRMS & Payroll projects fail — and how we build them differently

Indian payroll is genuinely hard: PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS, gratuity, bonus act, state-wise rules — and every HR software demos beautifully until the first month-end. We build HRMS around your actual pay structure and compliance calendar, then automate the scramble away.

Attendance comes first because payroll is only as good as its inputs. We integrate biometric devices, mobile check-in with geo-fencing for field staff, shift rosters and overtime rules — so the payroll run starts from clean, reconciled data instead of Excel consolidation.

Employees get a self-service app: payslips, leave balances, requests, reimbursements and documents. HR gets workflows instead of paperwork. Finance gets compliant journals and statutory registers. Month-end becomes a review, not a fire drill.

Manual payroll is expensive in ways that never appear as a line item. Two days of HR time every month spent consolidating attendance from devices and chat groups. Overtime rules applied from memory, producing disputes that cost a supervisor an afternoon each. Professional tax slabs missed for one state and corrected with a penalty. Statutory challans prepared at the last minute and re-typed from screenshots. And thirty walk-ups a week for payslips and leave balances — each a five-minute interruption for someone whose job was supposed to be hiring and retention.

The proof of an HRMS is the month-end nobody notices: attendance already reconciled, payroll run in a morning from HR's own rules, and challans generated ready to file — not re-typed from screenshots. We verify this with one full parallel payroll run, reconciled line by line, before cutover.

Sound familiar?

The situations clients bring to us before this system.

  • Attendance arrives from everywhere

    Biometric logs, a WhatsApp leave group and a paper shift roster consolidated by hand every month.

  • Payroll disputes every cycle

    Overtime and shift allowances applied from memory, so the same argument repeats each month.

  • Statutory filings at the last minute

    PF, ESI and PT challans prepared from screenshots, with corrections after the deadline.

  • HR is a help desk

    Dozens of walk-ups a week for payslips and leave balances that employees could answer themselves.

What we need from you

Four things that make the scoping week productive

None of these are hard; all of them are the difference between a thin slice in week three and one in week six.

  • 1Your salary structures, shift rules and leave policies as they are practised
  • 2Access to the biometric devices and any existing attendance exports
  • 3Statutory registrations and one past payroll for the parallel run
  • 4An HR owner for policy sign-off and the employee-app rollout
Your time back

Where your team gets its hours back with HRMS & Payroll

Typical figures from live deployments. We measure the “before” during the scoping week on your own numbers, so the “after” is a target you can hold us to.

Common questions

Does it handle our state's professional tax?

Yes — PT slabs are configured per state of employment, along with PF, ESI, LWF and TDS settings, all editable when rules change.

Can field staff mark attendance by phone?

Yes — mobile check-in with geo-fencing and optional selfie verification, with offline capture that syncs when connectivity returns.

What if we already use biometric devices?

We integrate with the devices you have. Most major brands expose logs we can pull directly — no need to buy new hardware.

Is the payroll verified before we trust it?

We run one payroll in parallel with your existing process and reconcile every line item before switching over. Nothing goes live unverified.
