Offline-first HR for Togolese SMEs – manage employees and payroll without internet.
Togolese SMEs suffer frequent internet disruptions that block real-time access to cloud-based HRTech platforms, halting employee management and payroll processing.
ResilientHR is a PWA that caches all employee data locally, allowing full HR operations like attendance tracking and payroll calculation during outages. When internet returns, it seamlessly syncs changes to the cloud with conflict resolution. Built for unreliable connectivity, it ensures business continuity for Togo's SMEs.
