Offline-first HR tracker that syncs payroll and attendance seamlessly when internet returns.
Ghanaian businesses face frequent downtimes in cloud-based HRTech platforms for payroll and attendance tracking due to unreliable internet infrastructure.
GhaSyncHR is a progressive web app (PWA) that allows Ghanaian businesses to record attendance and process payroll entirely offline using local storage. Data automatically syncs to the cloud once connectivity is restored, preventing any loss during frequent outages. Simple employee self-check-in via QR codes ensures minimal disruption.
