The employee record, end to end
Onboarding, records, leave, attendance and exit held once, so the same person is not re-entered by three departments.
Services
One employee record, from the first interview to the last day.
Zoho People Plus implementation by Aardhraa Technologies — HR operations, recruitment, payroll and expenses on one employee record, with custom workflows where your process is your own.
HR carries more distinct processes than almost any function and usually the fewest people to run them. People Plus puts hiring, the employee record, payroll, expenses and internal communication on one platform — and where your process genuinely differs, we build that part rather than bending you to fit.

A typical build
What this covers
What we build with it.
Hiring into onboarding, without a gap
Candidates move from recruitment into the employee record without re-keying, and onboarding starts from what was already captured.
Payroll and expenses on the same data
Pay, reimbursements and policy-driven approval running on the record HR already maintains, rather than on a spreadsheet exported each month.
The HR processes nobody sells
Grievances, requests, declarations, welfare schemes and approval matrices built in Creator alongside the suite, with escalation and role-based access.
Reporting leadership will actually use
Headcount, movement, tenure and process turnaround assembled from the system rather than from four people sending spreadsheets.
Strengths
Where People Plus is strong
Three things that only happen when HR runs on one record.
The same person, not four versions of them. Recruitment, the employee record, payroll and expenses working from one identity. Most HR pain is reconciliation — who joined when, on what grade, owed what.
Self-service that people actually use. Employees raise their own requests and declarations, and managers approve where they are rather than in a queue on someone's desk. That is what takes the chasing out of HR.
Your process, not a template's. Where a policy is genuinely yours — an escalation matrix, a welfare scheme, a category of approval nobody else has — it gets built in Creator alongside the suite instead of being worked around in email.
What comes with it
The apps we configure most often
People Plus brings the workforce apps together on one licence. Confirm the current composition with Zoho before you buy.
People
The employee record: onboarding, leave, attendance, documents and exit.
Recruit
Hiring, from the careers site through to an offer that becomes an employee.
Payroll
Pay runs built on the same record HR already maintains.
Expense
Claims and reimbursements under policy, approved by the right manager.
Connect
Announcements and internal communication with an address, rather than an email chain.
Creator
The HR processes that are specific to you, built alongside the rest.
Proof
Where we have used it.

Onboarding to billing, as one chain
Onboarding, deals, approvals, project delivery, billing and contracts each had an owner and no shared thread. Now a won deal creates its own project, and billing follows delivery.

Vendors, bills and employee contracts created automatically
Vendor records, employee bills and contracts were created by hand from data that already existed in two other systems. Now Creator sits between them and creates all three.

Questions
Asked most often.
Do we have to replace our payroll provider?
Not necessarily. Payroll is the most regulated and most local part of HR, and plenty of organisations keep what works. We integrate to it where that is the right answer and implement Zoho Payroll where it is not.
Can employees do things themselves?
That is most of the value. Requests, declarations, leave and claims are raised by the person they concern and approved by their manager, on a phone if that is where the manager is.
What about the HR processes that are unique to us?
They get built. Grievance handling with an escalation matrix, welfare schemes, category-specific approvals — Creator sits alongside the suite for exactly this, on the same employee record.
How does this connect to finance?
Approved expenses and payroll output flow into the accounting system rather than being re-entered. We have integrated employee spend into Zoho Books and into existing accounting systems elsewhere.
How long does an HR rollout take?
A standard configuration is typically live in two to four weeks. Adding recruitment, payroll and custom HR workflows moves it into the four to twenty week range, confirmed at scope sign-off.
