Real feedback from HR professionals managing workforces across the region.
"After years managing WPS manually in spreadsheets, HRSanad's one-click SIF generation alone justified the subscription. Our payroll team went from 3 days to 3 hours."
"We have 420 employees across 6 hotels. The multi-company payroll consolidation and Emiratization reporting saves us an entire working week every month. The Arabic interface is genuinely excellent."
"As a 90-person tech startup in Riyadh, we needed compliant HR fast. HRSanad was live in 3 weeks. Document expiry alerts caught 14 visa renewals we had completely missed."

Yes. The built-in AI HR Copilot (powered by Azure OpenAI) answers HR questions in English or Arabic from your own live data, and document OCR auto-reads passports, visas and Emirates IDs into employee records. The AI is strictly tenant-isolated β it only ever accesses your organisation's data, enforced by PostgreSQL row-level security β and your data is never used to train external models.
Yes. HRSanad connects directly to face and fingerprint terminals, which push punches to the platform in real time β no CSV uploads. A central device master dashboard shows every terminal across all branches with live online/offline status, enrolled users and a live punch feed, and each device is assigned to the correct company. Punches flow straight into attendance and payroll.
All data is stored exclusively on Microsoft Azure UAE North (Abu Dhabi). We do not replicate to any foreign region. This satisfies UAE PDPL requirements for personal data residency. We can provide a data processing agreement (DPA) on request.
