Stop fighting with spreadsheets. Start building great teams.

South African SME owners spend hours each week split across Excel, WhatsApp, paper documents, and disconnected tools. Around 4 hours a week at R300/hr is significant hidden admin cost — and one undocumented dismissal can cost far more at the CCMA.

Synthro replaces this chaos with an all-in-one HR platform built from the ground up for South African labour law.

Our Mission

"Make professional HR accessible to every South African business." We believe SMEs deserve the same HR tools as large enterprises — without the enterprise price tag.

• WhatsApp for leave requests → Self-service portal with instant approvals
• Paper performance reviews → Digital 360° feedback with AI insights
• External HR consultants (R180,000/year) → NALA AI assistant (included)
