Fine platform, priced above what we use

The configuration took longer than promised, and it works well now. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. 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

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. The employee record is well organised.

What does not

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

Used for 2 to 5 years

Fine platform, priced above what we use

Solid for the core, but we still keep a spreadsheet for the reporting we actually need. Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. 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

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

What does not

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

Used for 1 to 2 years

Support hours never overlap with ours

The leave rules never matched the BCEA properly and we gave up correcting them. For context, 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. It may suit a simpler business than ours.

What works

The employee database itself is fine.

What does not

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

Leave requests left email and never came back

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Used for less than 6 months

Good for leave, thin everywhere else

It has reduced admin, just not as much as the demo suggested. Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. 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. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. Leave management works reliably.

What does not

The mobile experience is weaker than the desktop. Performance management is basic.

Managers use it without being chased

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. 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. 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 6 to 12 months

Managers use it without being chased

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. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

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

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. 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.
