What's included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Our cloud platform gives your team a complete payroll engine — without installing software, scheduling updates or chasing legislative circulars.

Compliance wherever you operate

Legislative updates and statutory rule changes are applied automatically. PAYE, UIF, SDL and other African tax authorities stay current — no manual tracking.

Calculations always correct

Real-time gross-to-net processing with unlimited and retroactive runs. When legislation changes, your payroll is already updated.

Audit trails and governance

Every payroll action is logged. Role-based access, approval workflows and change management are built in.

Employee self-service

Payslips, tax certificates and leave requests from any device. A payroll assistant answers questions in plain language. WhatsApp self-service is available as an add-on.

Always on. Especially on payday.

Enterprise-grade cloud with high availability, real-time failover and a geo-replicated disaster recovery site. No maintenance windows during payroll runs.

Ready for your security review

ISO 27001 certified. SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant. Strong SSL. When procurement asks for vendor documentation, it is already there — and aligned with POPIA and GDPR.
