HR and payroll for several companies, one login
An HR and payroll platform for hundreds of staff across several companies and branches, replacing an off-the-shelf payroll app. It became the foundation of PipalHR.
The challenge
Where they started
Several companies with hundreds of staff across many branches were running HR on an off-the-shelf payroll app. Different shift rules, monthly leave credits and branch-level attendance were hard to manage, and data was locked in a tool the team could not adapt.
