The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

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. Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Applicant tracking well above its price point. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. 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.

What works

Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Leave requests left email and never came back

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Applicant tracking well above its price point. 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.

Managers use it without being chased

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. 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

Custom reporting an HR manager can drive unaided. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

No real understanding of South African labour law

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. Test it hard during the trial with real volume before committing.

What works

The employee database itself is fine.

What does not

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