Built by HR and governance practitioners for how Saudi companies are actually run.
Saudi rules inside the system
Labor Law 2025, GOSI, WPS, Mudad, Nitaqat and Hijri dates are part of the product, so updates arrive without a customization project.
Every module, one subscription
Payroll, attendance, talent, organization design and workforce planning are all included. Nothing extra to buy as you grow.
Test a reorganization before you make it
Draft a new structure and see its effect on cost, layers and spans of control before anyone approves it.
Governance by design
Approval routes you set yourself, with delegation and escalation, plus a full audit log of who changed what and when.
Live in weeks, not months
Your structure is built from your employee spreadsheet, and one payroll runs in parallel before you switch.
Your data under your control
Ready for hosting inside the Kingdom under the Personal Data Protection Law. The AI assistant only runs if your admin turns it on.
Decisions with the numbers in front of you
Next year's manpower plan, priced
Headcount requests by department, a month-by-month cost forecast and the Nitaqat effect of each hire.
