The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for less than 6 months

Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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.

What works

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Good for leave, thin everywhere else

Solid for the core, but we still keep a spreadsheet for the reporting we actually need. Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. 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. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Managers found it easy enough to use.

What does not

There is no local payroll integration. Performance management is basic.

Used for 6 to 12 months

The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

Fine platform, priced above what we use

It has reduced admin, just not as much as the demo suggested. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. Leave management works reliably.

What does not

Performance management is basic. BCEA leave had to be configured rather than selected.

Response from the vendor02 Feb 2025

Thank you for the review. We are glad the compliance side is working well for you. On the reporting point, we would like to show you what is possible with the custom report builder, so please book a session with our team.

Leave requests left email and never came back

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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.

Managers use it without being chased

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.

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

No real understanding of South African labour law

The leave rules never matched the BCEA properly and we gave up correcting them. In practice, the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. I would look elsewhere unless price is the only consideration.

What works

The employee database itself is fine.

What does not

Leave rules never matched South African requirements. Support hours do not overlap with our working day. The interface is dated and slow.

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 does not

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