I was born and raised in Sabah, and then I eventually found myself in London in my early 20s. I started a recruitment company after working various jobs across Asia and Europe.

When I was running my startup in Singapore, I had to manually do a lot of the processes myself. I felt the pain and especially the drain of what it took out of me when I should have been focusing on building my business.

So, I looked for solutions to help me, but I realized that there was a gap in the market. I thought about it a lot and discussed it with who would eventually become my co-founders. As with all good ideas, the decision to do HReasily was made over beers, and the rest is history.

We’re a cloud-based HR SaaS company whose mission is to innovate and automate HR processes throughout the region.

Our modules cover payroll, staff management, leaves, contract templates, and attendance monitoring. We started out with just the tools for payroll and leaves, but now we have a total of seven products and modules. We will also be releasing a module for scheduling next year.

A lot of businesses use local solutions that look after a particular silo in an HR department. So, you have one system to manage payroll, one to manage leaves, and another to manage some other component. You then have to log in and out of many systems, which cost a bomb.

So, we built an affordable software that integrates with all the modules. Everything works on a single platform, so the HR department won’t have to go through several Excel files and software.

Payroll Easily takes care of all the calculations and the mandatory government contributions. So, we localize this service in each country, integrating with fund portals. It also does tax filing.

Staff Easily gives you a repository of staff information (profiles, employment histories, etc.). Leave Easily tracks leaves and public holidays and integrates directly with the payroll module.

Claims Easily goes hand in hand with the payroll module, as claims are usually processed alongside salary. But users can opt to use this module as a standalone product if they wish to process claims outside of the normal payroll cycle.

Among its interesting features, Time Easily can consume data from legacy hardware, like thumbprint machines or bundy clocks, and automatically push it to the payroll module.

Lastly, the contract module comes with Staff Easily for free. It lets business owners add or remove clauses and digitally generate contracts.

We have an employee app as well, where employees can log in via the web or mobile app and check their payslips anytime. They can also clock in and out or apply for leaves and claims from there.
