Everything Zaffre Axon does.
Nineteen modules covering HR and operations. You set them up with your own policies, they run the routine work automatically, and data moves between them without re-entry.
Complete Employee Lifecycle
Each employee has one record from start to finish. It begins as a requisition, then the person is hired through the ATS, onboarded with their documents collected, paid, promoted and finally cleared and settled. Every stage writes to that same record and hands over to the next, so nobody re-types anything and nothing gets lost between departments.
- Hire: requisition, public careers portal, candidate kanban, searchable CV bank and AI-assisted evaluation
- Select: interview scheduling and video screening, through to the offer
- Onboard: onboarding checklists, document collection and profile creation
- Establish: role, department, designation and reporting line on one employee record
- Operate: attendance, leave and shift planning feed payroll directly, with no re-entry
- Develop: performance tied to the employee record, learning, increments and promotions
- Equip: assets issued against the employee profile, with repair and movement history
- Exit: resignation and termination workflow, with status moving from Active to Notice to Exit
- Clear: clearance across departments, with unreturned assets flagged for recovery and valued
- Settle: final settlement and exit documents, audit-logged like every earlier stage
AI Recruitment & ATS
The applicant tracking system is part of the platform, not a separate tool. It covers the hiring requisition, the offer and onboarding. You get a public careers portal, a drag-and-drop candidate kanban, a searchable CV bank and AI help with evaluating candidates. Once someone is hired, their details carry straight into the employee lifecycle.
- Hiring requisitions with approval routing
- Public careers portal & job postings
- Drag-and-drop candidate pipeline (kanban)
- Searchable CV bank & employee referrals
- Interview scheduling & video screening
- AI candidate parsing, matching & scoring
- Hired candidate moves straight into onboarding
Dual Payroll Engine
Some companies pay part of a salary in PKR and part as a foreign remittance. Zaffre Axon runs both in the same payroll, so you don't need a second system for the remittance side.
- PKR payroll (local salary)
- Remittance payroll (foreign salary)
- Single payroll run for both ledgers
- Flexible deduction allocation (PKR / Remittance / Split)
- Waterfall deduction logic
Rule-Based Payroll Compliance
Payroll is calculated from the rules you set: attendance, leave, overtime, loans, notice period and tax. You set the policy once and the system applies it every month, instead of HR adjusting figures by hand.
- Attendance-based salary calculations
- Leave deduction & exhaustion rules
- Overtime approval & calculation
- Loan, advance & reimbursement management
- Notice period deductions applied automatically
- Tax & compliance handling
Time, Attendance & Remote Work
Attendance and remote work tracking are in the same system. You don't need an add-on or another vendor's tool, and there is no integration to maintain.
- Mobile, web & biometric attendance
- Shift planning & rotation management
- Work hours & break tracking
- Geo / IP / device-based restrictions
- Attendance flags (Late, Half Day, etc.)
- Automated penalty rules
- Leave or salary deduction logic
Built-in Remote Work Monitoring
Our own desktop app records login and logout, active hours and which applications are in use, and takes screenshots. You don't need separate monitoring software.
- Login / logout tracking
- Active hours & productivity monitoring
- Application & website usage tracking
- Screenshot & activity logs
- Auto-attendance from real work activity
- System-based WFH request with auto access control
Leave Management
Leave follows your policy and updates attendance and payroll as soon as it's approved.
- Configurable leave types (Annual, Casual, Sick, etc.)
- Leave quota & balance tracking
- Multi-level approval workflow
- Automatic attendance integration
- Paid vs unpaid leave handling
- Leave encashment (year-end / exit)
Final Settlement & Clearance
Full & Final settlement runs in the system: clearance from each department, asset recovery and approvals. No spreadsheet needed.
- Resignation & termination processing
- Departmental clearance (HR, IT, Admin, Finance)
- Salary, leave & overtime calculations
- Loan, advance & asset recovery
- Approval workflow (HR → Finance → Management)

Integrated Client Email
Company email is part of the HRM. Employees send and receive client mail from the Zaffre inbox, so there is no separate email client and no username or password for them to know.
- Send & receive client email from inside the HRM
- No username or password: the inbox opens when the employee logs in
- Email address is managed by the HRM and hidden from the employee
- Client communication stays under company control
- Employees can't go around the company to contact clients privately
- Company-owned domains with secure delivery (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Connect: Secure Internal & Client Communication
Connect gives your teams real-time chat. It also lets employees talk to clients without you handing them the client's chat or calling ID. The conversation goes through the company, not around it.
- Real-time direct messages & team channels
- Online presence and in-chat approval cards
- Client calls where the employee never sees the client's chat or calling ID
- Client identity stays protected inside the company
- Available on web, desktop and mobile

Mature CRM, Sales & Client Billing
This is a proper CRM, not just a client list. It covers the customer master, quotations, invoicing, payment plans, online payments, receivables and recurring billing. All of it is tied to accounting and operations, so you don't run a CRM in one tool and your books in another.

Procurement, Inventory, Projects & Helpdesk
