Why teams choose PeopleMuster

  • Your bill follows your headcount one person at a time. Seven people cost seven times $3, and there's no band to jump when you make the next hire.
  • Leave runs on yearly quotas per leave type. Managers approve requests in one place, and usage analytics show this year against last.
  • Attendance comes from a ZKTeco fingerprint terminal on your office network or from browser check-in inside the shift window. On-time rate and late minutes are worked out for you.
  • Company policies live in one place, and a beta assistant, HashBot, answers questions from them inside the app.
  • Onboarding and offboarding run as tracked SOP checklists, and the IT asset register shows which device each person holds.
  • Slack gets the reminders. Scheduled announcements and reports post to your channels, so nobody has to chase timesheets by hand.
