Geo-tagged attendance for multi-store staff, seasonal workforce HR for festive hiring spikes, incentive and commission management for sales teams, part-time and contractual staff management, and rapid F&F for high-attrition retail - all from one platform.
A generic HR tool was not built for the specific workforce management challenges that retail companies face. Here is what makes HR software for retail different and why TankhaPay is built for it.
Attendance management of 500 store associates in 40 stores either calls for a coordinator in each store or an automated process which records without any help.
Retail companies hire 4-6x their regular workforce for Diwali, Dussehra, and end-of-season sales. Onboarding 300 temporary staff in 30 days manually creates compliance gaps that surface in audits.
Sales commission, attendance bonus, and upselling incentive calculations vary based on brand, type of store, and position. There are errors in the manual computation of incentives every month-end.
PT cashiers, weekend associates, and temporary associates are eligible for ESIC differently from other full-time associates.
Retail attrition means constant F&F settlements, PF withdrawals, and re-hiring. Each incorrectly processed exit creates a liability, and each delayed PF settlement creates an employee complaint.
A retail chain with 40 stores often has 40 independently managed attendance registers, leave records, and payslip files, with no group HR visibility for the corporate team.
Retail companies run several distinct workforce categories at once - each with a different pay structure and different HR treatment. TankhaPay handles all of them from one login.
Employees working on permanent floors with a fixed CTC, including ESIC and PF benefits.
Permanent Store TrackPart-time staff with pro-rated leave, different ESIC eligibility, and flexible hour tracking.
Part-Time TrackTemporary employees are employed for festival seasons with fast hiring and termination processes.
Seasonal TrackSalaried supervisory staff with performance components and multi-team oversight.
Management GradeVisual merchandising and display staff working across multiple store locations.
Cross-Store TrackHead office and buyers on a standard CTC basis along with retail staff.
Corporate GradeCMMI Level 5 is held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your retail HR data is managed under is the same standard trusted by the Government of India.
There is no other competitor for Indian payroll software that has such accreditation. It gives you another level of assurance of the way your payroll will be managed.
TankhaPay has been built with specific retail HR requirements in mind - the attendance, compliance, and workforce management challenges that generic tools miss.
We have managed Indian HR through every significant labour and tax law change since 1998. Labour Code 2025 changes are the latest in a 26-year track record.
