A month in ZodHR

The busywork runs itself

Follow one month and see where the hours go back to your team.

  1. 1Every morning

    Everyone clocks in, wherever they work

    From the office Wi-Fi, a client site inside the geofence, home or a biometric device. Shifts and grace periods do the rest, so late marks are fair and automatic.

  2. 2Through the month

    Leave and approvals stop piling up

    People apply in two taps. Managers see balances and who else is away before they approve, and HR only steps in when a policy says so.

Why teams switch

ZodHR vs a typical HRMS

Most HR software in India is sold through a sales call, priced per module and set up over weeks. ZodHR is built the other way round.

  • Pricing

    ZodHR: Published per-employee prices from ₹79 a month. Buy online in minutes, with a GST invoice.

    Typical HRMS: Prices on request, with modules quoted separately.

  • Trying it

    ZodHR: 14-day free trial on any plan. No card, no sales call.

    Typical HRMS: A demo call before you can see the product.

  • Getting started

    ZodHR: Your workspace is ready when you sign up, with departments, leave policies, a shift and holidays already set up. Import employees from a CSV.

    Typical HRMS: An implementation project with the vendor’s team.

  • Indian payroll

    ZodHR: PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS in every payroll run.

    Typical HRMS: Often a separate payroll product or add-on.

  • Biometric devices

    ZodHR: ZKTeco and eSSL connect straight to the cloud. Other devices use the API.

    Typical HRMS: A sync PC or middleware at the office.

  • AI assistant

    ZodHR: Zod AI is included in Professional and Enterprise, answering from your own HR data within each person’s permissions.

    Typical HRMS: A paid add-on, where it exists.

  • Former employees

    ZodHR: Free. Licences cover active employees only.

    Typical HRMS: Varies by vendor.

  • Everyday experience

    ZodHR: A fast, modern interface with dark mode and dashboards each person can arrange.

    Typical HRMS: Form-heavy screens built around HR, not employees.

“Typical HRMS” reflects common packaging in the Indian HR software market and is not a statement about any one vendor. Features and prices vary, so check each vendor’s current terms.

Who owns our data?

You do. ZodHR processes it only to provide the service, acting as your data processor under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

What happens if we don’t renew?

Your workspace gets a 7-day grace period and is then paused. Your data is kept, and access comes back as soon as you renew.

Bring your whole team into sync.
