Why teams choose PeopleMuster
- You know the bill before the first call. Your headcount times $3 is the whole monthly price, and every module is inside it.
- Client delivery lives beside HR. Projects, timesheets and the capacity plan share one database with attendance, leave and each person's record.
- Approved leave clears the plan. The moment a manager approves a week off, that week empties from the person's row in the capacity grid.
- Attendance comes from a ZKTeco fingerprint terminal on your office network, or from browser check-in inside the shift window once an admin turns it on. Fingerprints stay on the terminal.
- Your data sits in your own database, in your own account, in the region you pick.
- We set it up with you: your modules, your roles, your people. There's no setup fee for it.
