When Hajir HR is the better choice.
- You use Hikvision devices, or want QR or selfie attendance. EK ERP syncs ZKTeco and offers geofenced mobile clock-in only.
- You want per-seat pricing (NPR 100 a month) for a small team that needs HR and payroll only.
When EK ERP is the better choice.
- You run pay periods, leave years and holidays in Bikram Sambat. Hajir HR's pages do not state BS.
- You also raise VAT invoices and keep accounts in one system.
How EK ERP handles it.
- Each payroll run works out salary TDS with its own fiscal year's slabs, plus SSF and CIT, and exports the e-TDS salary sheet for each BS month.
- Leave types accrue on their own schedule against a BS holiday calendar, with self-service requests, approvals and live balances.
- Punches sync from ZKTeco attendance devices; staff without a device clock in from the mobile app inside a geofence.
- Salaries, VAT invoices and accounts live in one system, so payroll does not need posting into a second package.
- One login runs several companies, each with its own isolated database, on a monthly NPR plan rather than a per-employee fee.
- Nest Nepal moved HR, attendance and payroll from RealHRSoft to EK ERP in October 2026, with 5 ZKTeco devices; the case study has the details.
