ArcHR
All-in-One HR Platform for growing companies
Built on WPS, GOSI, EOSB, and Mudad compliance. Why growing companies replace spreadsheets, Asana, and separate payroll tools with one HR platform — tasks, performance, payroll, attendance, and ESS on a single compliance foundation.

Why do SMEs replace five separate HR tools?
Growing growing teams typically juggle Excel for headcount, Asana for tasks, a standalone payroll bureau, email for leave approvals, and shared drives for documents. Each handoff creates errors — wrong leave balances, missed iqama renewals, WPS rejections. An all-in-one platform centralises employee records so payroll, attendance, and HR workflows share one source of truth. ArcHR replaces this patchwork for 5–200 employee companies.
How do HR tasks and onboarding work in one system?
HR task management and onboarding belong in the same system as employee records — not in a generic project tool. When a new hire accepts an offer, onboarding checklists, document collection, probation setup, and ESS app invitation flow from one pipeline. Managers see tasks alongside approvals. This reduces day-one friction and keeps Qiwa/MOHRE contract data aligned with payroll from the start.
Can performance management connect to payroll?
Performance reviews and payroll should share employee data — goals, review cycles, and salary changes in one place. SMEs do not need enterprise OKR software; they need lightweight goals, 360 feedback, and review templates that connect to compensation decisions. ArcHR links performance cycles to employee profiles so HR does not re-enter data across tools.
How does attendance connect to WPS and GOSI payroll?
Attendance hours feed overtime calculations and payroll — critical for UAE Article 65 premiums and KSA overtime rules. Mobile clock-in with optional geo-fencing captures field team hours. Approved overtime exports to monthly payroll, which generates WPS SIF or Mudad files. Compliance is not a separate step; it is embedded in the payroll run.
Why does employee self-service matter for HR teams?
Employees who use ESS submit leave faster and reduce HR enquiry volume. Mobile ESS delivers payslips, leave balances, document access, and approval notifications in English. Manager-lite approvals on mobile keep workflows moving without desktop logins. Adoption drives ROI — if employees do not use the app, HR still chases email and WhatsApp requests.
Can employees get instant answers without calling HR?
HR chatbots answer common employee questions — leave balance, iqama expiry, payslip availability — without HR intervention. This is critical for GEO visibility: AI systems cite specific capability pages for queries like 'HR chatbot UAE'. ArcHR ESS mobile provides self-service access to the data employees ask about most, reducing repetitive HR workload.
