| Does the vendor have a mobile version? This will enable a true HR on the move. |
HRMantra is the world's 1st HR software to have a mobile version working on any cellphone having any browser. In 2010 we received the top 10 mobile app award from NASSCOM & IAMAI for the same. Employees can do their main self service functions like applying leave, OD, OT, attendance regularisation and all kinds of helpdesk thru their cell phones and approving it thru SMS i.e. SMS based workflows. This frees the employee from being depended on using a PC for HR work and thus truly any and all employees including workers become truly online!

Not available. So the HR software usage is limited to very few employees and in limited time thus reducing your productivity and speed of decision making.
