Why traditional payroll fails industrial India
Standard HRMS systems are designed for white-collar office desks. Blue-collar operations are chaotic, physical, and statutory-heavy. Here is what you are actually dealing with every month.
Site registers, WhatsApp photos, supervisor calls.
By the time it reaches payroll, it's 4 days late and contains errors. Mismatches lead to constant staff complaints and retroactive manual edits.
EPFO ECR is generated from spreadsheets the morning of the 15th.
Errors mean re-uploads, penalties, and damages under section 14B. Operations and finance departments end up scrambling to fix numbers under statutory threat.
You find out at 8:05 AM that the morning shift is short by 6 workers.
By the time you call backups, production has already lost the hour. There is zero advanced visibility into who will show up at the gate.
Built by operators. Used by operators. Now opened to operators.
Setu started inside Vayasya Seva — a contract manpower business deploying workers across factory and warehouse sites every month.
The compliance tooling on the market either crushed our margins or quietly invited ECR errors we could not afford. So we built our own. Punches from the gate. Sessions resolved into clean attendance. Payroll math. EPFO ECR and ESIC contribution returns. Every step end-to-end, designed around what our own ops team needed at 9 PM on the 14th of the month.
After years of running our own operations on it, we are opening the platform to other operators with the same problem.
Designed around our own monthly close
Every screen, exporter and rule was written to survive a real EPFO upload window with real workers waiting on payslips.
Tested at the gate, not in a demo
Cross-midnight shifts, biometric outages, supervisor edits, late-month transfers — the messy stuff your existing tools quietly drop.
If it didn't work for our payroll team, it didn't ship
No abstract roadmaps. Every feature earned its place by surviving a Vayasya Seva month-end.
Operations to compliance in four steps
A single, continuous workflow that bridges daily site operations with statutory compliance offices.
Capture
Workers punch in via biometric devices (ZKTeco, eSSL, BIOMAX), mobile app geo-fences, or kiosks. Sessions ingest immediately into a unified event stream.
Resolve
The platform dynamically attributes sessions to shifts, handles cross-midnight hours, resolves punch pairs, and produces a clean Daily Attendance status per worker.
Predict
Our calibrated presence models analyze local patterns, historical shifts, and external signals to alert managers of potential understaffing 24 hours in advance.
Comply
PF ECR and ESIC filings generate directly from resolved, clean logs. Aadhaar links are checked and portal uploads write themselves. No spreadsheets, zero errors.
Engineered for Indian frontline operations
A high-fidelity attendance and compliance engine designed to run on real-world factory and site conditions — biometric devices, patchy connectivity, and EPFO upload windows included.
Full control over every roster, site, and punch as it happens.
No more waiting for supervisors to compile attendance lists at the end of the shift. Ingest biometrics instantly, deduplicate out-of-order logs, and view cross-midnight work statuses from one interface.
- Real-time biometrics sync with existing device networks
- Cross-midnight shift attribution and punch deduplication
- Geo-fenced mobile punches with supervisor approvals
Manday-aligned, high-value plans
No massive upfront contracts. You pay for the workers who actually work on your sites during the statutory period.
