Sound Familiar?
Challenges you might be facing
Tracking employee data in spreadsheets that are always out of date — and nobody knows which version is 'the one'
No standardized onboarding process — new hires figure things out on their own, wasting their first week
Payroll is manual, error-prone, and eats an entire day each month that founders should spend on growth
Leave tracking via email, WhatsApp, or Slack messages — with no visibility into who's off when
Compliance is an afterthought — you know you should be tracking statutory contributions but haven't set it up
You're worried about looking unprofessional to new hires because you don't have proper HR systems yet
The FriendHRM Advantage
How we solve this for you
Zero to Running in Days
Upload your starter employee data from a CSV, configure your leave policies, and run your first payroll in under a week. Guided setup gets you live fast, with SSO and API integrations available when you need them.
Self-Service from Day 1
Employees update their own profiles, request leave, download payslips, and complete onboarding — no HR bottleneck, no back-and-forth emails.
Transparent Per-Employee Pricing
Pay only for what you use. Per-employee monthly pricing that scales smoothly from 5 to 5,000 employees. Enterprise features like SSO, SCIM, and custom RBAC unlock as you grow.
Automated Payroll with Tax Compliance
One-click payroll with automatic statutory calculations for your country. EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB — handled. Federal and state tax — handled.
Mobile-First Experience
Approve leave requests, check timesheets, and review expense claims from your phone. Works beautifully on any device, no app download required.
Enterprise-Grade from the Start
Schema-per-tenant data isolation, AES-256 encryption, and immutable audit logs aren't upsells — they're built into the foundation. When your startup becomes an enterprise, your HR system is already there.
"We went from managing everything in Google Sheets to a fully functioning HR system in three days. The payroll automation alone saves me an entire day every month."
