Flowyana HR & Payroll is one product for staff, attendance, leave and payroll, and payroll posts straight into the same books as your sales, stock and till, with no second payroll product and no export. Each employee sees their own attendance, leave balance and payslips in English or Arabic, shift rosters and leave years with accrual and carry-forward are built in, and you buy HR on its own plan by headcount, adding accounting, POS or CRM later without moving people data. When you need statutory outputs, Dictode builds PF, ESI and professional tax with challans and returns on Flowyana, typically in 4–6 weeks, with code you own.
