HRMS and payroll software development

Payroll goes wrong when attendance is unreliable, and attendance is unreliable when it is collected on paper, on WhatsApp and from three branches. We build HR systems that fix the input first, then make payroll a calculation instead of an investigation.

The symptoms

Is this you?

  • Payroll takes four days and still produces corrections in the next cycle.
  • Attendance arrives from branches as photographs of a register.
  • Leave balances are disputed every single month.
  • Field staff attendance is taken on trust.
  • Statutory compliance is prepared manually and filed at the last minute.
Scope

What we build

  • Attendance from biometric devices, mobile check-in, or geo-verified field check-in
  • Shifts, overtime, rosters and multi-location rules
  • Leave policies, balances, approvals and holiday calendars
  • Payroll with your own salary structures, arrears, advances and deductions
  • PF, ESI, PT and TDS computation and statutory reports
  • Employee self-service — payslips, leave, claims, documents
  • Onboarding, confirmation, appraisal and exit workflows
  • For field teams, Trackrr already solves verified attendance — sometimes that is the better answer
Who it’s for

Businesses from about 50 staff upward, particularly multi-branch operations and companies with field or contract labour.

What every engagement includes
  • A written scope you approve before any code is written
  • A price agreed against that scope, not discovered later
  • Source code, database, documentation and IP yours on final payment
  • Training for your team, and close support through the first month
FAQ

Questions people ask about this

How do you price a project?

Against a written scope, agreed before any code is written. We do not publish indicative figures, because the same-sounding requirement can differ several times over in cost depending on the specifics.

What drives the number: how many distinct user roles there are, how many screens and reports, how much data has to be migrated from existing systems, how many other systems it must talk to, and whether your process is already documented or has to be worked out first. A first conversation is usually enough for us to tell you the rough order of magnitude.

How long does a project take?

It depends on how much of the system you want live at once, which is why we usually suggest starting with one module rather than everything.

What holds true regardless is the shape of it: you see something working every two weeks from the start of the build. You are never waiting three months to find out the project went wrong in week two.

Why not just buy a ready-made ERP or CRM?

Sometimes you should, and we will say so. If your processes are standard, a well-configured packaged product is faster to deploy and cheaper to start.

Custom becomes the right answer when your process is the thing that makes you competitive, when the packaged product needs so much customisation that upgrades break it, or when you have already bought one and half the team has quietly stopped using it. The comparison that matters is not licence against build. It is the licence, plus the customisation, plus the work still being done by hand, against the build.

Who owns the source code?

You do, on final payment. Source code, database, documentation and intellectual property in the work are assigned to you in the contract. There is no licence that expires and no situation in year three where you discover the software is not yours.

We also hand over in a usable state: documented, commented, and written so another developer can pick it up.

How do you stop our staff from going back to Excel?

By building it around what they already do, and by talking to them during the scope stage rather than only to the person signing the cheque. Most systems are rejected because they add work for the people entering the data while the benefit lands somewhere else.

Practically: fewer screens, fewer mandatory fields, capture what can be captured automatically, and make the daily task faster than the spreadsheet it replaces. Then train in small groups and stay close for the first month, which is when the real questions arrive.

All questions

Tell us what isn’t working

A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Bring the problem — the mess of spreadsheets, the report nobody can produce, the process that breaks every month-end. We will tell you honestly whether custom software is the answer, and roughly what it would take. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us. We will say so.
