How Our Software Works?

Admins set up employee and field-rep accounts, the organisation hierarchy, attendance policies, leave types with auto-allocation rules, expense heads and rand claim policies in the portal. Reps and office staff use the mobile app to mark AI-verified, geotagged attendance, read their attendance summary, apply for leave, submit a claim and check work status — all of it held on the handset when there is no signal. Managers approve requests and follow workforce compliance on dashboards and in downloadable reports.
