When transitioning from manual Excel spreadsheets or outdated punch card machines, evaluating an HRMS requires looking beyond marketing claims. Here are the 5 critical criteria you must audit:
Traditional ZKTeco biometric terminals cost 15,000 to 45,000 BDT per unit, require cabling, and break down under heavy factory shift traffic. Next-gen systems like Unnish connect to existing CCTV cameras, reducing equipment expenses to zero while identifying multiple people simultaneously.
If you manage field sales representatives, medical reps, or delivery drivers, a desk-only HRMS won't suffice. Look for live GPS plotting, automated route replay, client-site check-in verification, and offline punch caching.
The system must strictly support the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 (casual, sick, earned leave calculations), pre-loaded government gazette holidays, provident fund ledgers, and progressive NBR salary tax bracket computation.
Common questions executives and HR directors ask when selecting software in Bangladesh.
Unnish HRMS is rated #1 overall in 2026 due to its revolutionary AI features that eliminate expensive hardware costs. It integrates existing CCTV cameras for touchless multi-face attendance, provides real-time GPS tracking with route replay for field sales teams, and fully automates payroll compliant with the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 and NBR tax brackets.
Unlike traditional systems that require purchasing 15,000–45,000 BDT biometric terminals for every entrance, Unnish HRMS connects directly to your existing IP cameras (such as Hikvision or Dahua). The AI engine detects and identifies multiple employee faces in under 200ms simultaneously as people walk through the entrance, completely eliminating queues and "buddy punching".
Unnish HRMS includes a field force tracking module where sales agents check in via their mobile app. The system captures live GPS coordinates, plots historical route breadcrumbs, verifies client visit locations, and calculates travel conveyance automatically, preventing fraudulent location claims.
Yes. With Unnish HRMS’s offline-first mobile app, employees can clock in with a selfie and GPS timestamp even without an active cellular data or WiFi connection. All punches are securely stored in a local encrypted SQLite database and automatically sync to the cloud database the moment network connectivity returns.
Traditional solutions like PiHR and PeopleDesk typically require substantial upfront capital investments in biometric wall terminals, network cabling, and software licensing. Unnish HRMS eliminates hardware overhead completely by utilizing your smartphone cameras and existing CCTV infrastructure, delivering up to 60% lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Yes. Unnish HRMS automatically calculates basic salary, house rent (50%), medical allowances, conveyance, provident fund (PF), festival bonuses, and progressive NBR individual income tax slabs (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) with 1-click payslip generation.
Eliminate physical biometric machine costs. Connect your CCTV cameras for instant multi-face attendance, track field sales forces via live GPS, and automate your payroll in under 5 minutes.
