Overview

A workforce-management platform. Household Payroll is the launch wedge; the same engine serves SMEs, domestic-staff agencies and estates/facilities. Launch geography: East Africa + Gulf, Kenya first.

What it does

Employee lifecycle

Effective-dated salaries (versioned, history preserved) with itemised pay components, contracts and documents.

Attendance & leave

Attendance capture across many sources (GPS, geofence, QR, PIN, kiosk, biometric, manual, CSV, API); leave types, balances and holiday-aware approvals.

Payroll engine

Draft → calculate → approve → lock → reverse, payslips + snapshots, four-eyes approval, a payroll simulator, manual adjustments, advances, loans (with net-floor protection), court-ordered deductions, termination final pay and back-pay.

Kenya statutory built in

PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and Affordable Housing Levy correct-by-construction; statutory data for Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and UAE is already seeded.

Disbursement & reporting

Self-service

Employees get self-service web + a mobile app for clock-in, leave and payslips.

M-Pesa & UAE-WPS payout

Pay staff by M-Pesa B2C, UAE-WPS, or bank-transfer file.
