Built for how Botswana actually works

Whether you are five people in Gaborone or five hundred across the SADC region, the statutory requirements are the same. The way you work is not.

By company size

The problem changes as you grow. So does the fix.

1 – 20 employees

Startups & small teams

HR lives in a spreadsheet and payroll is a monthly panic.

  • Employee records and contracts in one place from day one
  • Compliant payslips with PAYE and SDL without hiring a payroll clerk
  • Leave requests that do not need a WhatsApp thread
Starter plan
20 – 100 employees

Growing companies

Managers approve things they cannot see, and finance chases HR for numbers.

  • Approval workflows with a proper audit trail
  • Attendance and overtime feeding payroll automatically
  • Recruitment pipeline so hiring keeps up with headcount plans
Professional plan
100+ employees

Enterprise & groups

Multiple entities, multiple payrolls, and no single view of the workforce.

  • Multi-organisation setup with isolated data and shared administration
  • Role-based access down to department level
  • Consolidated reporting across every entity in the group
Enterprise plan

By industry

Same platform, configured for the way your sector employs people.

Healthcare

Shift-based attendance, professional registration expiry tracking, and standby allowances handled in the payroll run.

Retail & hospitality

High-turnover onboarding, casual and part-time contracts, and overtime that is calculated rather than argued about.

Mining & manufacturing

Rotational rosters, hazard allowances, and safety certification expiry reminders on every employee record.

Financial & professional services

Structured salary bands, performance-linked reviews, and clean audit trails for every compensation change.

Public sector & NGOs

Grant-funded cost centres, donor reporting on staff costs, and strict role-based access to personnel files.

Technology

Fast-moving headcount plans, recruitment pipelines, and remote-friendly leave and attendance policies.

Compliance

Statutory obligations, handled by the system

Payroll rules change. Keeping up with them should not be a monthly project for your finance team.
