What some of our customers say

We have been using the HR Chronicle software, since last 5 years. The software is very good and very well caters to our HR requirements. The adaptability of the software with local WPS compliance where the salary file can be uploaded on the Bank readable format is an additional advantage. The back end support and service to customize based on our requirement is excellent. We will be happy to recommend this software to any new user.

The one Stop Solution has helped us to simplify all our requirements under one System. Payroll Management, Leave Management, GOSI, EOSB, Data Management has become so easy and simplified that we do not have to maintain any other parallel records. The System is User Friendly and with complete security enabled. The greatest advantage which we experienced is the professionalism of the Consultants ( Firoz Ahmed and Naganand HG) who are very cooperative not only during the training session but also during post-implementation stage. Any error or issue is attended to on priority and solved immediately. We are very happy to have HR Chronicle and recommend the System to any Company which is contemplating to change its payroll and Manpower Management System.
