Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Reporting a board will actually read. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Reporting a board will actually read. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Works, but BCEA leave needed configuring

The configuration took longer than promised, and it works well now. Employees log in voluntarily, which is rare. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Reporting a board will actually read. The employee record is well organised.

What does not

The mobile experience is weaker than the desktop. There is no local payroll integration.

Response from the vendor30 May 2025

Thank you for this. We recognise the pricing concern and would like to review your plan with you, as there may be a better fit for your usage. Our team will be in touch.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Reporting a board will actually read. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

The best onboarding workflow in the category. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for less than 6 months

Managers use it without being chased

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Reporting a board will actually read. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Large integration catalogue and a proper open API. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Data is hosted offshore, which our information officer had to sign off.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Large integration catalogue and a proper open API. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Employees log in voluntarily, which is rare. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Large integration catalogue and a proper open API. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
