Questions about Zoho People

Does Zoho People connect to Zoho Payroll?

Yes. Attendance and leave data can feed payroll so you do not re-enter it.

Can Zoho People connect to KeyPay (Employment Hero Payroll)?

Yes. Zoho Flow has a KeyPay connector that can add and update employees and create timesheets, or we build a custom integration for more control.

Can it handle multiple locations and countries?

Yes. Policies and holiday lists can be set by location or department.

Can employees use it on mobile?

Yes. Zoho People has mobile apps for check-in, leave and approvals.

Situations that lead businesses to Zoho People

Summarised in our own words from public Zoho customer stories, with no names. They are not Flowpeak case studies. They show the problems that usually trigger a move to Zoho People, what gets set up, and what changes day to day.

Audio and alarm systems manufacturing · Mid-sized business · Middle East (Gulf)

Regional growth and a failing biometric system pushed for mobile-based HR.

Before: HR spread across several people and processes, causing confusion.
What gets set up: One HR system for attendance, time, leave, records and policies with a self-service portal.
What changes: HR work moved online, employees self-serve, and the HR team did not need to grow.

Lesson: Mobile attendance is often the hook that gets a Gulf multi-site team onto an HR system.

Zoho People

Energy and smart metering technology · Large business · UAE

Fast headcount growth made manual HR unmanageable.

Before: Attendance, leave, hiring and reviews ran on email, spreadsheets and messaging apps.
What gets set up: Phased rollout starting with mobile attendance and leave, then reviews, expenses, recruitment and recognition.
What changes: Requests are made from phones, managers assign projects in-system, and processes match across locations.

Lesson: Phase HR rollouts: start with the daily-use module so staff build the habit.

Zoho PeopleZoho Recruit

Software testing services · Mid-sized business · Europe

Spreadsheet finance and HR could not keep up with growth.

Before: Manual time tracking and spreadsheet finances.
What gets set up: Used standard HR processes first, then added career and training plans; leave from Projects flows into HR.
What changes: Many departments use the HR system, data is not duplicated, and management reports combine all apps.

Lesson: Start with out-of-the-box processes and customise only once people use the basics.

Vocational education · Large business · Africa

Paper files and spreadsheets made a multi-campus workforce hard to manage.

Before: Paper leave registers, filing cabinets and slow report compilation.
What gets set up: Paperless HR with self-service, digital onboarding with e-signature, custom workflows and field-level permissions.
What changes: Every request has a digital trail and new hires onboard without first-day paperwork.

Lesson: Pair Recruit and People so a hire flows straight into onboarding.

How working with Flowpeak works

We deliver remotely from Chennai, India, and have no offices elsewhere. Harikrishnan, our founder, worked at several Zoho partner companies on 600+ implementations before founding Flowpeak in July 2024. He scopes every project, and our certified consultants deliver it.

Meetings in your working hours

Calls run on Google Meet, bookable 7:00 to 23:30 India time, Monday to Friday. That covers the UAE and Saudi working day, UK and European mornings and afternoons, and US East Coast mornings.

Your data stays yours

Everything is built in your own Zoho account and data centre. We work with the access you grant, sign an NDA and a data processing agreement before work starts, and you can remove our access at any time.

30 days of fixes after go-live

Anything that does not work as agreed is fixed at no extra cost for 30 days after go-live. After that, ongoing support is optional.

Paid by milestone

You pay by milestones agreed in your written quote. If the scope grows, we tell you and quote it before doing anything extra.

Common worries, straight answers

“Staff will resist changing habits and the rollout will stall.”

We roll out one team at a time, train each role on its own screens, and keep the first version simple. People adopt a system that removes work, so we cut steps before we add fields.

“Migration of years of historical data looks risky and slow.”

We clean and map your data first, run a test import that you check, and only then move the full history. Your old system stays readable until you sign off.

“We already pay for tools that sort of work; switching seems disruptive mid-season.”

We pick a quiet cut-over date with you and can run old and new side by side for a short period. Tools that work well can stay and be connected instead of replaced.

“Our process is unusual and off-the-shelf software will not fit.”

Most unusual steps fit with Blueprint stage rules, custom modules or a small Creator app. If something does not fit, we tell you in the first call.
