“Customer support actually answers phone calls and WhatsApp”

With our previous vendor, raising an issue meant waiting 48 hours in a ticket queue. With Kuzhu, our designated account manager answers within minutes. The migration from our old software took just two weeks with zero data loss.

“Expense claims with receipt capture streamlined reimbursement”

Our lab sample collection executives file travel claims with receipts photographed on the spot. Managers approve in real-time, and reimbursements flow straight into the payroll payout. Very clean implementation with exceptional customer support.

“Dedicated database per company and clean REST API”

From a security and architectural standpoint, having a dedicated database rather than a multi-tenant shared table was a key factor in choosing Kuzhu. The REST API made it easy to connect our internal engineering tools for single-sign on and onboarding hooks.

“Cut 80% of routine HR questions within the first two weeks”

Employees used to message HR daily for leave balances, salary slips, and investment proof status. Once we rolled out the Kuzhu employee portal, employees found everything on their phones. Our repetitive query inbox dropped by over 80%.

“Started on the Free plan, smoothly upgraded as our team expanded”

We started with Kuzhu’s free tier when we were just 12 employees. It had everything: attendance, leave, records, and mobile app without any arbitrary trial expiry. As we crossed 50 people, moving to the Growth plan with automated payroll took less than a day.

“Maker-checker approvals and audit trails pass every compliance review”

Being a financial services entity, our auditors scrutinise every salary increment, reimbursement, and clearance. Kuzhu provides an immutable audit trail of who approved what, when, and from which IP. Document generation for increment and promotion letters is instantaneous.

“Field attendance with GPS eliminated proxy punches and manual logs”

Our field delivery coordinators and warehouse teams use the GPS-enabled mobile punch. The mock-location detection and device-binding feature stopped proxy attendance entirely. Month-end muster reconciliation takes less than 30 minutes now instead of two days.

“Duty rosters that respect ward minimum staffing”

In hospital administration, leave cannot be approved blindly without knowing who is on duty. Kuzhu’s team calendar and duty roster view give nursing managers real-time visibility before approving leave. Staff licence and qualification expiry alerts also keep us completely compliant.

“Multi-shift rostering and night allowance solved our property headaches”

Running 24/7 hotel properties with rotational shifts used to cause constant dispute over night shift allowances and weekly offs. Kuzhu rosters people in advance, maps punches automatically to the active shift, and feeds night allowances directly into payroll.

“Shop-floor supervisors approve leave on mobile between shifts”

Our retail outlet supervisors never open laptops during store hours. With Kuzhu’s mobile app, they approve leave, shift swaps, and overtime on their phones directly from the floor. Attendance across 22 stores reconciles automatically with zero manual consolidation.

“Parallel run matched to the exact rupee before switching”

We ran Kuzhu in parallel with our legacy payroll for one month before making the permanent switch. The numbers matched to the exact rupee for PF, Professional Tax across three states, and TDS calculations under both old and new regimes. That accuracy gave our CFO complete confidence to switch immediately.

“Payroll dropped from 4 people for a week to 1 afternoon”

Payroll used to take four of us the better part of a week, cross-checking muster rolls with fragile Excel formulas. With Kuzhu, one person closes it in an afternoon. The PF ECR file and ESIC monthly returns generate directly out of the run without any mismatch. The factory biometric integration never misses punches.
