Custom HRMS.
Engineered for MENA HR.
Payroll, attendance, leave, performance reviews — engineered for how MENA businesses actually run. Region-specific labor law, multi-shift scheduling, fingerprint attendance, Arabic + English self-service. Owned by you, modeled on your HR team’s actual cycle.
Generic HR software collapses at the MENA boundary.
BambooHR, Workday, ADP — designed for the US/EU operating model. MENA payroll cycles (29-30 day months, lunar calendar interactions, end-of-service calculations, social insurance + emergency tax frameworks) sit awkwardly inside their data models. Attendance with multi-shift, multi-location, fingerprint integration requires expensive “modules” that still don’t quite fit.
Result: your HR team runs a parallel Excel system to handle what the official tool can’t. Statutory filing becomes a manual reconciliation. End-of-service calculations are spreadsheet artifacts no one fully understands. The HRMS is theater, not the system of record.
Concrete deliverables. No surprises.
- We map your payroll, attendance, approvals, and reviews first
- Payroll that handles local rules and end-of-service pay
- Attendance by fingerprint, manual entry, or shift schedule
- Leave requests with approvals and balance carry-over
- Performance reviews that match your actual cycle
- A staff app (English and Arabic) for payslips and leave
- Statutory rules (Egyptian labor law, GOSI, WPS) charged as add-ons
- End-of-service calculations parked in Excel
- Generic UI that doesn’t match how your HR team works
- Per-employee billing that scales as you hire
- Mobile self-service charged as a separate license
- Implementation that takes a year and leaves Excel running parallel
Cycles + rules first. Code after.
HR cycle audit
Map your payroll cycles, attendance patterns, approval chains, evaluation framework. Map the regulatory environment — local labor law, statutory deductions, end-of-service rules. Before any code, we know exactly what the system has to enforce.
Payroll engine
Custom payroll calculation engine — local statutory rules (Egyptian labor law, Saudi GOSI, UAE WPS), overtime + bonuses, deductions, end-of-service. Auditable line-by-line. Exportable in formats your accounting system + statutory bodies accept.
Attendance + leave
Fingerprint clock-in where you have the devices, manual entry where you don’t. Multi-shift scheduling, leave balance carry-forward rules, role-based approval flows. Mobile self-service so staff don’t email HR to check their leave balance.
Performance + handoff
Performance review module shaped to your actual evaluation cycle (annual, quarterly, project-based). Staff training, written runbooks, six months of post-launch support. Built so your HR team can run it independently from day one.
Engineered per-engagement.
HRMS is a service line we offer with deep regional operating context — Egyptian labor law, GOSI/WPS compliance, end-of-service calculations, multi-entity HR for groups operating across MENA. We don’t have a shipping HRMS product to demo. Adjacent proof: 17 daily agents at Elite Gouna using a custom-built operations system in production for 12+ months. Same engineering posture, HR-specific domain.
No off-the-shelf HRMS product, no live demo yet. HRMS builds are scoped per-engagement after the HR-cycle audit. Talk to us about your specific operation + headcount.

Tell us what your HR + payroll cycle looks like — headcount, locations, payroll frequency, statutory framework. We’ll do a 1-week audit at no charge and send back what we’d build.
Frequently asked.
How is this different from BambooHR / Workday / SAP SuccessFactors?
Off-the-shelf HRMS is built for US/EU operating models. MENA payroll, attendance, and statutory frameworks are bolt-ons at best. Custom HRMS treats the regional context as the spec — Egyptian end-of-service, GOSI, multi-currency consolidation, fingerprint attendance, Arabic-first UI. Built for the regulatory environment, not adapted to it.
How long does a custom HRMS take?
8-14 weeks for single-entity, single-country builds. 4-8 months for multi-entity, multi-country (Egypt + Saudi + UAE) groups with consolidated reporting. We commit to a timeline after the HR-cycle audit.
Do you have an HRMS product we can buy?
No. Same posture as ERP — HR systems are too central to the business to bend around a vendor template. If a generic HRMS genuinely fits your operation, BambooHR or Zoho People are honest answers. We’ll tell you so.
Will the payroll engine handle Egyptian labor law / Saudi GOSI / UAE statutory?
Yes — we build the engine to the actual regulatory framework, including end-of-service (Egyptian + Gulf models differ), GOSI deductions + employer contributions, WPS filing for UAE, social insurance + emergency tax for Egypt. Engineered to the law, not to a generic “tax field” in module settings.
What about fingerprint devices we already have?
We integrate with the devices you have (ZKTeco, Suprema, generic RFID, fingerprint, facial recognition). If you don’t have devices yet, we can recommend hardware that fits the budget + the workflow. Attendance becomes the same UI for staff whether they’re punching fingerprint, manual, or shift-pattern.
