Floor reality

Is this how your payroll runs today?

If two of these feel familiar, they are quietly costing you every month.

Biometric installed — attendance still typed into Excel

Device and channel punches land in one register that locks into payroll.

Advances live in notebooks; EMI forgotten until dispute

Loan ledger with automatic installment deduction every cycle.

Salary errors found only after payslips go out

Health Engine ★ and SquadAI review before approve — not after WhatsApp fire.

“Sir, please adjust this” every payday

ESS self-serve + MSS approvals cut month-end adjustment theatre.

Half the team’s hours live in chat threads

Roster, OT, and leave in-system — searchable, auditable, payroll-ready.
