Kota HR
While the African tech ecosystem is booming, the fundamental process of paying employees remains stuck in the past. Standard global HR platforms (like Gusto or Workday) are built for economies where every employee has a formal bank account and a reliable email address. In markets like the DRC, this creates a massive friction point.
The Unbanked Reality: A significant portion of the workforce relies entirely on Mobile Money (M-Pesa, Orange Money, Airtel) for daily transactions. Paying these employees via traditional bank transfers creates delays, fees, and accessibility hurdles.
The "Cash & Spreadsheet" Chaos: To bridge this gap, HR managers are forced into manual workarounds—withdrawing cash to pay wages physically or manually processing hundreds of individual mobile money transfers one by one. This process is slow, prone to human error, and a security risk.
Compliance Blind Spots: Global tools often lack the localized tax logic for specific African regions, leaving companies vulnerable to penalties regarding statutory deductions (IPR, CNSS, etc.).
We built Kota HR to be the bridge between corporate governance and the local payment infrastructure. It is not just an HR tool; it is a financial rail designed for the African context.
One-Click Bulk Disbursements
We eliminated the manual "pay-one-by-one" drudgery. The platform aggregates payroll data and executes bulk disbursements directly to employees' mobile wallets across different providers (M-Pesa, Orange, Airtel) instantly. What used to take 3 days of manual processing now takes 3 minutes.
Localized Compliance Engine
Unlike generic platforms, Kota HR is hard-coded with local labor laws and tax structures. It automatically calculates and deducts the correct statutory taxes, generating compliant payslips that protect both the employer and the employee.
Low-Data Employee Portal
Recognizing that not every employee has a laptop or high-speed Wi-Fi, the employee interface is optimized for mobile usage. Staff can receive payslips, request leave, and track benefits directly via a lightweight mobile web app or even WhatsApp integration, ensuring accessibility for the entire workforce, not just management.
Payroll processing reduced from 3 days to 3 minutes
Bulk disbursements across multiple mobile money providers (M-Pesa, Orange, Airtel) in a single click
Automatic statutory compliance protects companies from tax penalties
Entire workforce gains access to payslips and HR services via mobile — not just management
