MeraUdyog (Mera Attendance) Our product
Attendance and payroll on one data core, with sales, support and branch analytics next to them.
Mera Attendance records presence by GPS and selfie, geo-fence, biometric, web and offline mobile check-in, then handles shifts, rosters and regularisation. Attendance feeds MeraUdyog Payroll on the same core, and every branch, plant or centre is a first-class location, so an owner can compare sites side by side.
Where it is lighter: Newer and smaller than the established HR suites, with a younger partner ecosystem. No ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification yet, and no public REST API yet. It is not an attendance-only specialist.
Best for: MSMEs with several plants, branches or field teams that want attendance, payroll and the rest of the business in one system.
