Unified platform for people, payroll, and finance teams.
Even today, companies across MENA manage payroll, employee information, documents, onboarding checklists, and a plethora of other tasks manually. They default to spreadsheets, legacy enterprise solutions, and dated basic HR solutions, causing an array of issues and challenges, including human error and fraud, weak compliance, poor transparency, and more.
Cercli flips this upside down. It automates payroll, reimbursement, onboarding, offboarding, and more - by seamlessly integrating with tools across the workplace. Whats more? You can now hire, manage and pay local and international (Employer of Record and Contractor) payroll, consolidated in 1 platform for the first time.
