Built for frontline

Everything a non-desk worker needs.

Designed around how retail, restaurant, warehouse, and field teams actually use software - on a phone, in a hurry, often offline.

Mobile-first

Phone is the primary interface. Browser is the fallback. Manager UIs work on tablets too.

Frequently asked

Questions about retail / frontline.

Yes. Define location groups (express stores, full-format, kiosks) with their own policies for hours, breaks, overtime, and pay cycles. New stores inherit from a template.
WhatsApp Business API through our partner Gupshup. Customers don't need to set up their own WhatsApp Business account - we provide the messaging infrastructure. Replies get attributed to employees through their phone number on file.
Yes, as a separate user class. Useful for festive-season hiring and event staff. Contract end-dates auto-trigger off-boarding.
We're tracking the Code on Social Security, 2020 implementation. When PF/ESIC for gig workers becomes mandatory, the platform will support those contributions out of the box, like we did for the Code on Wages updates.
Yes. Daily payouts run on the configured cycle, but PF, ESIC, PT, and TDS still calculate on the standard monthly basis as required by law. Year-end Form 16 is generated correctly even with daily pay cycles.
Yes. Approval messages have inline buttons. One tap approves or rejects. Audit trail captures the manager's phone number and timestamp.
