What Chennai HR Teams Say About QkrHR

We run three shifts at our Ambattur plant with 320 workers. Reconciling biometric attendance used to take our HR team two full days every month. With QkrHR, attendance syncs automatically and payroll is done in under 2 hours. We haven't had a payroll dispute in 6 months.

HR Manager,, Ambattur Industrial Estate

Our 180-person team works across two Chennai offices and from home. QkrHR handles the attendance complexity without any manual intervention. Tamil Nadu PT is applied correctly on every salary, and Form 16 is generated automatically. Our payroll team went from 3 days to half a day.

Finance Director,, OMR

Our drivers and field supervisors are spread across Chennai and three districts. GPS attendance solved our biggest problem — we used to have disputes every month about who was where. Now it's all logged automatically. Payroll just runs.
