Founder · Atlas Catering Studio

31 January 2025

Hospitality South Africa Used for 2+ years

8 years in and still happy

We came from a paper leave register and the change feels like a decade jump. The org chart stays live off the records themselves.

29 January 2025

Zambia Used for 6–12 months

Configured our leave policies exactly

Configurable to a fault, literally. Documentation exists in volume and helps in patches. Public holidays load per location, useful with our two country footprint.

Pros

Onboarding flows with documents; hR cases with a proper trail

Founder · Summit Foundation

13 January 2025

Nonprofit · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Doing okay for our 8 person setup

The price forgives a lot, and there are things to forgive. Some modules feel like checklists ticked rather than problems solved. The API connected our access control clocks in a weekend of tinkering.

Pros

Excel exports for any report

Cons

App logouts hit field staff

23 November 2024

South Africa Used for 2+ years

A quiet workhorse for 8 years now

Shift scheduling for the Sandton branch runs itself after the patterns were set. Public holidays load per location, useful with our two country footprint.

Cons

App logouts hit field staff

HR Manager · Durban Catering Supplies

22 October 2024

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

Good but not perfect for our Cape Town team

It does a great deal, none of it glamorously. Leave rules are properly configurable, accrual, carryover, our whole policy fitted.

Pros

Leave rules handle BCEA setups

Cons

Depth varies by module

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

Exactly what our 18 person business needed

Shift scheduling for the Potchefstroom branch runs itself after the patterns were set. Leave rules are properly configurable, accrual, carryover, our whole policy fitted.

Simphiwe Hadebe

People Manager

10 July 2024

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

Attendance disputes ended with location stamps

Configurable to a fault, literally. Configuration options sprawl until you map them, which takes weeks. Public holidays load per location, useful with our two country footprint.

Pros

API for clocks and integrations; geo stamped mobile attendance

27 June 2026

Mining · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Decent fit for a 80 person company

Enormous value wrapped in a workmanlike interface. Some modules feel like checklists ticked rather than problems solved.

Sipho Olivier

HR Officer

25 June 2026

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

Good decision for a 110 person company

After 2 years the subscription line still looks like a typo in the budget. Zoho One bundling made the whole suite cheaper than two specialist tools. The API connected our access control clocks in a weekend of tinkering.

Pros

Leave rules handle BCEA setups

Cons

Offshore support with lag

17 June 2026

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

Working well for our 110 person team

We came from a paper leave register and the change feels like a decade jump. Leave rules are properly configurable, accrual, carryover, our whole policy fitted. Our HR admin runs on pocket change and nobody believes me.

Pros

Onboarding flows with documents; aPI for clocks and integrations

Nandi Padayachee

Managing Director

5 June 2026

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

Exactly what our 14 person business needed

After 3 years the subscription line still looks like a typo in the budget. The mobile app covers requests, approvals and payslip pickup from the HR folder. The value for money argument ends every comparison we run.

Pros

Zoho One bundle economics

Cons

Offshore support with lag

Doing the job for us in Potchefstroom

Shift scheduling for the Kimberley branch runs itself after the patterns were set. The API connected our access control clocks in a weekend of tinkering.

HR Officer · Crossroads Consulting

13 May 2026

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

Good but not perfect for our Roodepoort team

Configurable to a fault, literally. Some modules feel like checklists ticked rather than problems solved. The API connected our access control clocks in a weekend of tinkering.

Pros

Custom forms and workflows; pricing that reads like a typo

Cons

App logouts hit field staff

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

Onboarding flows we set up ourselves

The HR cases module gave employee queries a proper trail instead of corridor chats.

HR Officer · Worcester Foods Group

9 April 2026

Food & Beverage · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing okay for our 95 person setup

It does a great deal, none of it glamorously. The attendance app occasionally logs field staff out at bad moments. Zoho One bundling made the whole suite cheaper than two specialist tools.

Pros

API for clocks and integrations

Cons

Offshore support with lag

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

Expected better, Paarl customer

Wide and shallow stopped working when our policies got deep. Our ticket about accrual rounding took three weeks and two escalations.

Cons

Setup hours ate the savings

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

Doing okay for our 40 person setup

Good system that asks for patience up front. Support is offshore and the time zone maths adds a day to everything.

Pros

HR cases with a proper trail

Cons

Performance module is basic
