Employee Database Software
Employee management software keeps one clean record for every person on the payroll: who they are, which department and location they belong to, who manages them and whether they are still active. Built for teams across India, with a 14-day free trial.
Employee Database Software: overview
This guide covers employee management for businesses: how it works in Attend Mitra, and what to check before you pick a tool.
The short version: Attend Mitra gives you excel employee import, departments and locations and roles and permissions, running on employees' Android phones instead of a machine at the door. You can try it free for 14 days without a credit card.
Where employee management goes wrong for businesses
Employee list lives in five places
HR, payroll and site managers each keep their own list, and none of them agree on headcount.
Leavers who can still clock in
When exits aren't recorded centrally, old accounts and old ID cards keep working.
Everyone can see everything
Without roles, a supervisor either sees nothing or sees salary data they shouldn't.
Onboarding a batch takes days
Adding 50 seasonal or contract workers by hand delays their first shift.
How employee management works in Attend Mitra
Employee management software keeps one clean record for every person on the payroll: who they are, which department and location they belong to, who manages them and whether they are still active. Attend Mitra builds this record first, because attendance, leave and payroll are only as accurate as the employee list underneath them.
You can add employees one at a time or import the whole team from an Excel sheet, assign roles and permissions, and mark leavers inactive so their history stays available without them being able to clock in.
What to check before you choose
- Can you import employees in bulk, and what columns does the template need?
- What happens to a leaver's attendance history when they are deactivated?
- Can permissions be set per role rather than per person?
- Can employees see their own records without calling HR?
- Is employee data stored securely, and who can export it?
