Zaffre HRM is an all-in-one HR and operations software platform by Zaffre Tech. It unifies HR, payroll, attendance, leave, remote-work monitoring, procurement, petty cash, project management, helpdesk and secure client communication in one connected system. Its standout feature is a dual payroll engine that runs local (PKR) and remittance (foreign currency) salaries in a single payroll run.

Who is Zaffre HRM for?

Small businesses, startups and growing companies of 5 to a few hundred employees — particularly those that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected SaaS tools. Strong fit for Pakistan-based companies and any team paying employees in multiple currencies.

What makes Zaffre HRM different from other HR and HCM platforms?

Most HR platforms cover HR and payroll well but leave operations (procurement, petty cash, projects, helpdesk, remote monitoring, client communication) to other tools. Zaffre HRM includes those natively and links every module together — a leave approval updates attendance and payroll, an employee exit triggers asset recovery and final settlement, and a client onboarding flows into billing. It also has a market-unique dual payroll engine.

Does Zaffre HRM support payroll in multiple currencies?

Yes. The dual payroll engine runs local-currency (PKR) salaries and remittance-currency (foreign) salaries together in a single payroll cycle — this is the platform's signature feature and is rare in the market.

Does Zaffre HRM include remote employee monitoring?

Yes, natively. A Tauri-based desktop agent captures login/logout, active hours, application and website usage, and periodic screenshots, and powers productivity-based attendance. It is not a third-party add-on.

Does Zaffre HRM have a mobile app?

Yes — a companion mobile app (Expo / React Native) for attendance, leave, payslips, chat and approvals, with real-time push notifications via FCM.

How is Zaffre HRM priced?

Transparent per-employee, per-module monthly pricing. Modules can be turned on or off per company. Designed to be cheaper in aggregate than the 6+ tools it replaces.

Where is Zaffre HRM based?

Zaffre Tech, the company behind Zaffre HRM, is headquartered in Pakistan and serves customers globally — with strong adoption in Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

HR Software Pricing Pakistan 2026 | Realistic Budgets

"How much does HR software cost in Pakistan?" is the most asked question after "which is the best." The honest answer: it varies based on what you actually need. Here are realistic 2026 benchmarks by category, what drives the cost, and what is negotiable.

The 2026 per-employee-per-month benchmarks (Pakistan)

Basic web attendance only — PKR 100-200

Web check-in, basic attendance log, simple report. No mobile, no payroll, no compliance. Useful for very small teams (under 10) where trust is high.

Modern attendance — PKR 200-500

Web + mobile + face recognition with liveness + geo / IP restrictions. Multi-shift if needed. No full HRMS or payroll. Useful where you already have payroll elsewhere.

Full HRMS (HR + payroll + attendance + leave) — PKR 300-1000

Pakistani compliance baked in (EOBI, PESSI, FBR WHT), mobile self-service, full lifecycle workflows, audit trail. The sweet spot for most SMBs.

HRMS + operations (HR + payroll + procurement + petty cash + projects + helpdesk) — PKR 500-1500

The all-in-one platform replacing 6+ separate tools. Includes secure client comms, AI self-service, productivity monitoring. See: all-in-one case.

Enterprise HCM — PKR 2000+

Deep talent management, succession, advanced analytics, large-org features. Usually overkill for SMBs.

What drives the per-employee price

Module count

More modules → higher per-employee cost. Modular pricing lets you start small and add modules.

Headcount

Volume discounts typical above 100 employees, more aggressive above 500.

Annual vs monthly billing

Annual prepay typically 10-20% discount.

Implementation included vs separate

Some vendors include basic implementation; others charge separately (PKR 50,000-300,000 for a 50-200 employee setup).

Custom development

If you need custom workflows, integrations or features, that's separate cost — usually project-based or as a paid customisation.

Multi-currency / dual payroll add-on

Some vendors charge extra for dual currency. Modern Pakistan-built tools include it as standard.

What is negotiable

Annual prepay discount
Multi-year commitment discount
Implementation cost (often discountable if you're a strategic logo)
Training inclusions
Customisation hours included
SLA tier

What usually is NOT negotiable

Per-employee per-month rate beyond standard volume tiers (often)
Module list (often modular but priced per module)
Storage limits (often capped)

The hidden costs to ask about

Implementation — included or separate?
Training — for HR team, for managers, for employees
Data migration — from your existing tool / Excel
Integration — with bank, accounting, biometric machines
Customisation — for your specific workflows
Support tier — standard vs premium
Storage — beyond included limit
Mobile app deployment — to Android / iOS
Annual renewal increases — built into contract or negotiable

The total cost of ownership view

For a 50-employee company evaluating HRMS:

Software (PKR 500 × 50 × 12) = PKR 300,000/year
Implementation = PKR 100,000 (one-time, if separate)
Training = PKR 50,000 (one-time)
Annual maintenance / upgrades = included in subscription
Internal time investment = 80-160 hours during implementation

Total year-1 cost: ~PKR 450,000-500,000. Year-2 onward: PKR 300,000 + any increases.

Comparing to current spend

Most Pakistani SMBs currently spend on:

Excel + paper — "free" but 25-40 hours/month in HR time
Multiple separate tools — often PKR 600,000-1,500,000/year totalled
Outsourced payroll — PKR 1500-3000 per employee per month

For most, consolidated HRMS comes out cheaper or comparable, with major reduction in HR-team time + dispute risk.

Avoiding bad pricing decisions

Don't pick on price alone — cheap tools cost more in workarounds
Don't ignore implementation cost — major component for larger companies
Don't sign multi-year without exit clause
Don't pay for modules you won't use
Don't underestimate annual price increases (they happen)

The Zaffre HRM pricing approach

Zaffre HRM uses per-employee per-module monthly pricing — you pay for the modules you actually use. Annual prepay discount available. Implementation included for standard configurations. Book a demo for a sized quote for your company.
