What it does for you

A comprehensive human resources management system integrated directly with your general ledger: complete employee files from onboarding to exit interviews, leave tracking, biometric attendance, work shifts, Egyptian tax-compliant payroll calculations, performance appraisals, and recruitment pipelines. Employees submit leave requests and download salary payslips from their smartphones. When bundled with Asas, newly onboarded staff automatically receive their company email and file storage from the same central portal.

It is a module of "Asas by FoundationCX".

Arabic and hosting in Egypt

  • Arabic: the interface and employee salary slips are in Arabic and right-to-left.
  • Hosting: we host it for you in Egypt. Personnel records constitute sensitive personal data, so retaining them within Egypt supports compliance with local personal data protection laws (infrastructure design).
