The problem

SMB employers in India were managing attendance on biometrics, payroll in Excel, and leave approvals over WhatsApp. Three disconnected systems created statutory compliance risk and daily HR firefighting. They needed one coherent surface that owners could actually trust.

What we built

SMB payroll in India is chronically fragmented. Biometric attendance in one tool, Excel salary sheets in another, WhatsApp for approvals. Arth Saathi consolidates the daily operational truth into one Staff OS narrative.

Identity verification and attendance integrity underpin statutory compliance and payout accuracy; surfacing present/absent/half-day states with immediate actions reduces HR firefighting.

Salary dashboards that summarize headcount, increments, and monthly outflows speak directly to owners who think in rupees and roster stability, not HR buzzwords.

The result

  • Unified attendance, payroll, and leave management in a single Staff OS product
  • Identity verification and half-day states reduce compliance errors and disputes
  • Salary dashboard gives owners full payroll visibility at a glance
