Built for SMBs

Self-service for employees and managers

Employees update contact details, view payslips, request leave, and access policies from a mobile app. Managers approve leave, run team reports, and review performance without messaging HR. Routine HR requests stop landing in your inbox.

See it in action

Everything employee, everywhere.

Document management

Upload contracts, offer letters, NDAs, and certifications to each employee profile. Documents are searchable, version-controlled, and access-restricted. When an audit asks for a signed contract, you find it in seconds.

Guided onboarding

New hires self-fill their profile, upload documents, accept the contract, and complete training checklists. The day they start, they're already in payroll, time tracking, and benefits.

Live org chart

Visualize your team structure live. As reporting lines change, the org chart updates automatically, useful for new hires, board reviews, and any moment someone asks 'who reports to whom?'

Employee analytics

Pre-built dashboards on team headcount, demographics, tenure, turnover, and leave usage. Useful for monthly reviews, board updates, and spotting issues like high turnover in a specific role.

Why it matters

One platform beats five disconnected tools.

The Pakistani SMB software stack often looks like this: Excel for HR records, a separate biometric system, WhatsApp for leave approvals, paper for contracts, and a payroll spreadsheet. Each tool works on its own; together they're a daily friction tax.

Crew replaces that with one source of truth. The profile your HR person updates is the profile that runs payroll. The leave your employee requests is the leave that affects attendance. The performance review is attached to the same profile as the contract. Every system stays in sync because there's only one system.

Buyer's checklist

How to choose HR software for a Pakistani SMB.

If you're evaluating HR software for the first time, the long feature lists most vendors publish make it hard to compare. Here's what actually matters for SMBs in Pakistan:

  • Local payroll fit, does it handle EOBI, PESSI, PKR, and your bank?
  • Biometric integration, does it work with ZKTeco/Hikvision out of the box?
  • Mobile-first, your team will use it on phones, not laptops
  • Self-service depth, every routine request your team can answer themselves is time you don't spend on email
  • PKR pricing, predictable costs that don't shift with the dollar
  • Support hours in PKT, when something breaks at 4 PM, you need help at 4 PM
  • Pricing transparency, if a vendor won't show pricing, the answer is usually 'expensive'

Industries

Built for the way Pakistani businesses work.

  • Retail and multi-location businesses, different shifts, different sites, one HR system
  • Manufacturing, biometric attendance, blue-collar payroll, statutory compliance
  • IT and services, distributed teams, project-based work, performance management
  • Healthcare, shift patterns, on-call, regulatory compliance
  • Agencies and consultancies, billable time, project allocation

How it works

From setup to running, in three steps.

1

Send the onboarding link

Employees self-fill their details, sign contracts, and upload documents. Most new hires complete onboarding in 15–20 minutes.

2

Profiles populate everywhere

One profile feeds payroll, time, leave, performance, and benefits. Update once; every system stays in sync automatically.

3

Run lifecycle events with a prompt

Promotions, role changes, transfers, and exits trigger the right downstream tasks across HR, payroll, and IT access.

Saved over 80 hours a year

“Payroll used to take at least one full day per month. We’re able to run payroll bi-weekly now, which takes us less than an hour each month.”

Frequently asked

HR & employee management questions, answered.

What is HRMS software?+
HRMS (Human Resource Management System) software centralizes every employee process, profiles, payroll, time, leave, performance, and benefits, into one platform. Crew is HRMS software built specifically for small and medium businesses in Pakistan.
How is HRMS different from HRIS?+
HRIS (Human Resource Information System) typically refers to employee record-keeping. HRMS adds workflow features like payroll, time tracking, and performance management. Crew is closer to HRMS in scope, with a focus on simplicity for SMBs.
Does Crew replace my biometric attendance system?+
No. Crew connects to your existing biometric system, ZKTeco, Hikvision, and most major brands, so attendance flows directly into HR records and payroll. You keep your biometric hardware; Crew does the rest.
Can employees update their own information?+
Yes. Crew's self-service portal lets employees update contact details, view payslips, request leave, and access company policies from a mobile app. HR no longer fields routine update requests.
How long does it take to onboard a new employee in Crew?+
New hires self-onboard through a guided flow that takes most employees 15–20 minutes. They upload documents, fill their profile, and accept policies. By the time they start, their profile is complete across all of Crew, payroll, time, benefits.
Can I customize what fields I track per employee?+
Yes. Crew supports custom fields for any data your business actually tracks, emergency contacts, equipment assigned, training certifications, anything. Custom fields appear in reports too.
Is my employee data secure with Crew?+
Crew uses encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and audit logs of who accessed what data. Sensitive information is restricted to authorized roles. For specific compliance questions, contact our team.
