Nonprofit · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing the job for us in Cape Town

The per employee pricing means our costs track our headcount exactly. The announcements feature replaced the notice board nobody read. The staff like it, the managers like it, the accountant likes the price.

Construction · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

HR admin for 160 staff without an HR department

Onboarding used to be a pile of forms, now new starters arrive with everything done. We added the performance module for R14 a head and reviews stopped slipping. It brought order without bringing bureaucracy.

Construction · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

A quiet workhorse for 2 years now

We hired through the recruitment module and the pipeline view kept everyone honest.

Pros

Org chart and approvals out of the box

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Mossel Bay

Leave used to live in a spreadsheet nobody trusted, now nobody argues about balances. New employee self onboarding collects the tax number and bank details before day one.

Pros

Modular, pay only for what you switch on

Cons

Payroll integration needs consulting help

Legal · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Knysna, a few gripes

We like it, with the usual caveats of a young product. The mobile app needs a refresh, it logs people out at random.

Cons

Module costs stack up

South Africa Used for 2+ years

The org chart sold my directors in one meeting

After 3 years on it we are satisfied rather than delighted. Reporting is lists and exports rather than real dashboards.

Pros

Recruitment module at a flat monthly rate

Cons

Analytics are basic, exports do the heavy lifting

Healthcare South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Nice product still growing up

It does leave and records brilliantly and analytics barely. Employment equity reporting is not built in, we still do that in Excel.

Cons

No employment equity reporting

19 October 2025

Construction · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Mbombela, a few gripes

The core experience is great and the edges are rough. Custom fields help, but deeper policy logic just is not configurable. Recruitment at a flat R1,850 a month worked out cheaper than one agency placement fee.

Pros

Published rand pricing per employee

Cons

Mobile app has logout quirks

Healthcare · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Perfect size for a growing East London company

The self service app was adopted faster than any system we have introduced. Workflows adapt to how we actually work rather than forcing a process on us.

Pros

Leave management staff actually use; great self service mobile app adoption

Construction · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Good but not perfect for our Benoni team

Good value, as long as your needs match the modules.

Pros

Timesheets and expenses in the same app; quick setup with the 30 day trial

Cons

Performance module is rigid

Manufacturing · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Our Somerset West office gave up on it

The app issues went on for weeks and staff gave up on it.

Cons

Support weak on SA labour specifics. App reliability issues hurt staff trust

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Durban

We hired through the recruitment module and the pipeline view kept everyone honest. We added the performance module for R14 a head and reviews stopped slipping. Would choose it again tomorrow.

Pros

Onboarding checklists for new starters; recruitment module at a flat monthly rate

Cons

Module costs stack up

Construction · 1–10 employees Botswana Used for 6–12 months

New starters sign everything before day one

Good value, as long as your needs match the modules. The mobile app needs a refresh, it logs people out at random.

Cons

Advanced policy logic is not configurable

HR admin for 35 staff without an HR department

Onboarding used to be a pile of forms, now new starters arrive with everything done. Workflows adapt to how we actually work rather than forcing a process on us.

Pros

Quick setup with the 30 day trial; leave liability reports for year end

Cons

Mobile app has logout quirks

Expected better, Springs customer

A year of roadmap promises and the features we needed never landed. Our disciplinary process needed documentation the system simply cannot hold properly.

Cons

Feature roadmap promises kept slipping

Financial Services · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Working well for our 180 person team

Started with just the core module and switched on performance when we were ready. Recruitment at a flat R1,850 a month worked out cheaper than one agency placement fee.

Pros

Leave liability reports for year end; digital document signing included

Hospitality · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Managers approve leave without emailing me

Good value, as long as your needs match the modules. Core HR at R28 per employee makes the budget conversation short.

Pros

Quick setup with the 30 day trial; org chart and approvals out of the box

Cons

Analytics are basic, exports do the heavy lifting

Technology · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Good HR basics, some modules feel young

Very good at the basics, still maturing on the advanced side. Custom fields help, but deeper policy logic just is not configurable.

Pros

Onboarding checklists for new starters; slack and Google Workspace integrations

Cons

Offshore support with time zone lag

Thabo Olivier

17 March 2025

Retail · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Perfect size for a growing Gqeberha company

The self service app was adopted faster than any system we have introduced. Timesheets feed through cleanly and month end capture stopped being a chase. Highly recommended if you are drowning in leave forms.

Pros

Org chart and approvals out of the box; digital document signing included

Cons

No employment equity reporting

Practice Manager · Pretoria Properties

15 March 2025

Real Estate · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Perfect size for a growing Durban company

We like it, with the usual caveats of a young product. Public holiday handling needed manual setup for the SA calendar. Workflows adapt to how we actually work rather than forcing a process on us.
