Features

Access from Anywhere in India

HR managers in Delhi can run payroll while employees in Chennai punch in on mobile. All data syncs in real time. No VPN, no RDP, no waiting for the office PC. Works on any browser and on iOS and Android apps.

No Server, No IT Overhead

On-premise HR software requires a server, IT team, regular backups, and OS patches. Cloud HR eliminates all of this. Avani handles infrastructure, security patches, and uptime — your team just uses the product.

Real-Time Attendance from Any Location

GPS-based mobile attendance works whether employees are at the office, a client site, or working from home. Geo-fencing ensures punch-ins happen from the correct location. All records are cloud-synced instantly.

Payroll Compliance Maintained in the Cloud

EPFO and ESIC requirements, PT slab changes, and TDS rules are updated in the cloud — your system is always current with the latest government circulars. No manual software updates or version upgrades needed.

Multi-Branch Company Management

Add multiple office locations across India as separate branches under one account. Each branch has its own holiday calendar, leave policy, and PT state — but HR at the HQ sees everything in a unified dashboard.

Live HR & Finance Dashboards

Cloud means your analytics are always current — not a report exported this morning from a desktop software. See today's attendance, pending leave approvals, overdue salary slips, and statutory liabilities in real time.

Key benefits

How it works

  1. Sign Up and Go Live in Days — No procurement, no server setup, no IT tickets. Create your company account, import employees from Excel, configure salary structures and leave policies, and you are running. Most companies are live within 3-5 days.
  2. Employees Use the Mobile App — Share the app download link with employees. They install, register with their work email, and start marking attendance, viewing payslips, and applying for leave — from day one, from anywhere.
  3. HR Runs Payroll from Any Browser — Month-end payroll, salary slip approval, EPFO ECR download, and report generation all happen in the browser — no software installation, no version conflicts. Works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Frequently asked questions

How is cloud HR software different from desktop?

Cloud HR software is hosted on secure servers and accessed through a web browser or mobile app — no installation needed. Desktop HR software (or on-premise software) is installed on a company server or individual computers. Cloud HR is accessible from anywhere, auto-updated, and backed up centrally. Desktop software requires IT maintenance, manual updates, and is not accessible outside the office network without a VPN.

Is cloud HR software secure for Indian data?

Yes. Reputable cloud HR platforms use the same level of security as Indian banking applications — data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), role-based access so only authorised personnel see sensitive data, and regular security audits. Avani stores data in Indian data centres, ensuring compliance with Indian data localisation requirements. Access logs record every login and data change for audit purposes.

What if internet goes down during payroll?

The mobile attendance app works offline — employees can punch in without internet, and data syncs when connectivity is restored. The web application requires internet access for payroll runs and approvals. Since payroll runs typically happen a few days after month end, a brief internet outage does not affect critical workflows. Cloud providers maintain 99.9%+ uptime SLAs.

Can cloud HR software handle multiple India offices?

Yes. Avani supports multiple branches under one company account. Each branch can have its own: city (for HRA metro/non-metro calculation), state (for Professional Tax — e.g., Maharashtra office deducts PT, Delhi office does not), holiday calendar, and leave policy. HR at the HQ sees a consolidated view of all branches.

How does cloud HR software help remote teams?

Remote and hybrid teams are where cloud HR delivers maximum value. Employees in different cities can mark GPS attendance, apply for leave, and access salary slips without visiting the office or emailing HR. Managers approve requests from anywhere. Payroll runs centrally regardless of where the HR team is working. This is impossible with desktop or on-premise HR software.
