Switch from greytHR to HR Software Chennai — Built for Chennai Businesses

For Chennai and Tamil Nadu companies between 25 and 1,000 employees, HR Software Chennai is the best greytHR alternative. It bundles every core HR module (payroll, attendance, leave, recruitment, performance, expense) in one plan starting at ₹49 per employee per month, includes Tamil-language payslips, runs on Tamil Nadu’s pre-configured statutory rules, and is delivered by a Chennai-based implementation team that finishes onboarding in 5–7 working days.

greytHR’s Starter plan starts at ₹79 per employee per month, but payroll, recruitment and performance management are paid add-ons. A typical 100-employee company on greytHR Essential + add-ons pays around ₹184 per employee per month. HR Software Chennai bundles all modules at ₹49 per employee per month — that’s ₹1,68,000 saved annually for a 100-employee Chennai business, before counting GST input credit recovered through local CGST + SGST billing.

Yes. Free, fully managed migration is included. Our team exports your employee master, salary structures, salary history, leave balances, attendance logs and document records from greytHR via standard CSV exports, validates the data, and imports everything into HR Software Chennai. The standard timeline is 5–7 working days with one parallel payroll cycle to reconcile every employee’s net pay before cut-over.

Yes — both are pre-configured. Tamil Nadu Professional Tax slabs for Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai municipalities are loaded by default, with half-yearly auto-deduction. Tamil Nadu Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) is calculated at ₹20 employee + ₹40 employer with half-yearly Form A remittance support. greytHR ships generic templates that need consultant configuration; HR Software Chennai works on day one.

Yes. There is no minimum-seat lock-in. The all-in-one plan starts at ₹49 per employee per month from a single seat, and the platform scales to 1,000+ employees on the same codebase. Many Chennai SMEs in the 15–75 employee range run their entire HR & payroll on HR Software Chennai for under ₹5,000 a month all-inclusive, replacing greytHR + a separate ATS + a separate performance tool.

Yes. HR Software Chennai delivers payslips in Tamil, English and Hindi. Each employee chooses their preferred language at first login, and payslips are pushed via WhatsApp, email and the mobile app. greytHR currently supports English and Hindi only — a critical gap for blue-collar staff on Chennai factory floors and retail outlets.

Every HR Software Chennai customer gets a dedicated WhatsApp support group with their named account manager, a 4-hour response SLA in business hours (vs greytHR’s 24–48 hour ticket SLA), and free on-site visits in Chennai during go-live and the first month-end. Phone support is also available on all plans, not just enterprise.

Yes. HR Software Chennai supports direct integration with eSSL, Matrix, ZKTeco, Realtime and Cosec biometric devices via Push API and SDK. Geo-fenced mobile check-in (with selfie verification) is also bundled for field employees and remote workers. Punch data syncs in real time to attendance and payroll, eliminating the manual exports many greytHR users still run.

Yes. REST API access is available on every plan — not gated behind an Enterprise tier. Common integrations include Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Zoom. greytHR restricts full API access to its Growth and Enterprise plans, which adds 2× to the per-seat cost for most Chennai mid-market companies.

Standard switch timeline is 5–7 working days, fully managed by our Chennai team: Day 1 discovery, Day 2–3 data export & cleanup, Day 4 configuration, Day 5–6 parallel payroll run & UAT, Day 7 go-live. Larger enterprises (500+ employees, multi-entity) may take 2–3 weeks. There is zero downtime — greytHR keeps running until the cut-over is complete.
