Employee and document storage

Features
How It Works
Employee document storage
Making sure an employee's file is up to date and correct is important for any New Zealand business. Ditch the worry of losing important info and docs and store all your employees personal details, certifications, licenses, and training records together in Smartly.
Safe and secure storage
All your payroll and people information is kept safe and secure in the cloud. Plus, Smartly is backed by Datacom and our product is ISO27001 certified, which means your data has an extra layer of protection.
Permission settings
Our people management platform offers different permission settings, so you can ensure that your people are only seeing what they need to see.
Company documents
With our 'Company files' feature you can create an internal hub where you can easily upload, categorise and share important company documents like HR policies, procedures and handbooks, then send them to employees to digitally read and accept.

Employee and manager hub

Features
How It Works
Personal Hub
With our Personal Hub your team can view and complete tasks, update their own details such as emergency contacts, sign contracts, apply for leave and view their timesheets. Giving them control and saving you time.
Work Hub
The Work hub gives you easy, high-level visibility of key dates, notifications, and tasks related to your employees. See important upcoming dates like birthdays and anniversaries. Keep track of license and certification renewals, leave, timesheets, and outstanding requests.
People and payroll in one place
Save time faffing between tabs and software's with access to your People Management Hubs from the same place you do your payroll.

Tasks and automations

Features
How It Works
Workflows
Automate your certification and licence renewal processes, such as Site Safe Passport, and first aid certificates. Once set up, the automation will run in the background and tasks will be automatically assigned to the appropriate person when the time comes.
Reminders and notifications
Set automated reminders for your employees to complete tasks or update their details, so you don't have to be constantly chasing your team for the info you need.
Repeatable induction processes
Create repeatable induction processes, with tracking and reminders to ensure everything is completed on time and recorded.
