Leave types, balance tracking, approval policies, auto-allocation and South African public-holiday calendars
Employee data, role assignments, org hierarchy, and records aligned to South African labour practice and provident-fund administration
Fuel and travel claims in rand, expense heads, policy rules, approval workflows and reimbursements
Outlet creation, GPS geofencing, channel and category mapping, and territory management from spaza counters to cash-and-carry wholesalers

Sales managers set up teams, users, outlets, SKUs, territories, beats, distributors, schemes and reporting rules in the admin portal. Field reps use the mobile app to mark AI-verified attendance, follow their assigned beat, check in to each spaza shop or supermarket by GPS, capture orders and stock, complete audits and questionnaires, log rand collections and expense claims, and review their day, all offline if the network drops. Managers watch it unfold on live dashboards and 40+ downloadable reports.
