How Propulse Connect looks

A web cockpit for HR. A mobile app for every employee.

Managers watch headcount, payroll cost and compliance status live on the web. Employees and field staff run attendance, leave, payslips and expenses from the mobile app — even when the network drops.

What Propulse Connect replaces

Punch cards, Excel and WhatsApp — replaced.

Most Indian workforce operations still run on a stack of punch-card registers, Excel payroll, paper leave forms, WhatsApp attendance photos, cash wage payouts and client billing spreadsheets. Propulse Connect replaces all of that with one verified, time-stamped digital record.

  • One database — every attendance, every payslip, every approval
  • Audit trail for HR, finance, statutory and client teams
  • Self-service on mobile — fewer HR tickets, faster decisions

Who Propulse Connect is built for

Built for Indian workforce realities.

In-house staff, field force, contractual workers and multi-client deployments — Indian operations rarely fit the single-mode HRMS category. Propulse Connect was built for the mix.

  • Staffing & Manpower Agencies

    Place workers at single or multi-client sites. Bill clients per deployment. Stay compliant across states.

  • Distribution & FMCG Companies

    Field salesmen, supervisors, in-house staff — managed on the same platform that runs SalesPort.

  • Dairies & Plants

    Shift-based plant workers, field supervisors, drivers — attendance, payroll and PF/ESI in one system.

  • Mid-Market Enterprises

    From 100 to 10,000 employees — statutory automation, role-based access, multi-location operations.

Why teams switch to Propulse Connect

The category options are these three. Propulse Connect wins on the mix.

Three patterns repeat across every switch story — generic HRMS gaps, missing outsourced workforce billing, and field-team attendance.

  • 01

    vs Keka / RazorpayX Payroll

    Generic HRMS doesn't bill outsourced workforce per client site. Propulse Connect does — natively.

  • 02

    vs GreytHR / spine HR

    Field-team GPS attendance and the rest of your distribution stack on one platform — not two vendors.

  • 03

    vs In-house Excel + Tally

    Statutory automation, payslip generation, multi-state PF/ESI and audit trails — without rebuilding any of it.

Integrations

Works with the systems your finance and HR teams already run.

Tally for the books. SAP for the federation. Biometric devices at the gate. WhatsApp for employee notifications. Propulse Connect fits in — it does not demand a rewrite.

  • Tally Prime (XML payroll)
  • SAP HCM
  • Biometric devices
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Bank payout files (NEFT / RTGS)
  • EPFO and ESIC portals
  • UPI for reimbursements
  • SortString stack — SalesPort, ProcuPort

How Propulse Connect is priced

No per-employee fees.

A one-time deployment fee. A fixed monthly AMC. That is the whole price list. Adding 500 contract workers does not change your bill. We share the real number in a 30-minute call.

Common questions

Questions HR and Ops actually ask.

The answers below are the same ones we give on the call.

What is Propulse Connect and who is it for?

Propulse Connect is Sort String Solutions' HRMS, payroll and outsourced workforce management platform. It manages the complete employee lifecycle — onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll, performance, statutory compliance and exit — for in-house teams and contractual workforce alike. It is built for staffing agencies, distribution and FMCG companies, dairies and mid-market enterprises that manage both permanent staff and outsourced labour, often across multiple client sites.

What makes Propulse Connect different from Keka, GreytHR or RazorpayX Payroll?

Three structural differences. (1) Native outsourced workforce billing — manage contractual workers placed at multiple client sites, with per-client deployment records and billing. Generic HRMS doesn't do this. (2) Field-grade GPS attendance — built for the same field force that runs on SalesPort, not just office staff. (3) A fixed monthly AMC instead of per-employee pricing — adding 500 contract workers doesn't change your bill.

Does Propulse Connect handle PF, ESI and TDS automatically?

Yes. Provident Fund, Employees' State Insurance, Tax Deducted at Source, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and gratuity are computed automatically every payroll cycle, with state-wise rules built in. The platform generates the filings, payslips and Form 16 paperwork — your finance team approves, doesn't recalculate.

Does the attendance app work in the field and offline?

Yes. The Propulse Connect mobile app supports GPS-tagged selfie check-in, geo-fence rules, shift roster and overtime — and it is offline-tolerant for field staff and rural sites where the mobile network drops. Records sync automatically when connectivity returns; no double entries, no missed punches.

How does multi-client outsourced workforce billing work?

Each contractual worker is assigned a deployment record — which client site they work at, their shift, their billing rate and the contract dates. At the end of the cycle, Propulse Connect produces (a) the worker's payroll on your books and (b) the client-wise invoice from your books to each client. Three parties — agency, client and employee — see only what is relevant to them.

How is Propulse Connect priced?

Two charges. A one-time deployment fee, declared up front. And a fixed monthly AMC after go-live. We do not charge per employee — adding 500 workers does not change your monthly bill. Final pricing depends on the modules you turn on (payroll, outsourced billing, performance, etc.). We share the real numbers in a 30-minute call.

How long does it take to go live?

Typical Propulse Connect deployments for an in-house workforce go live in 4 to 6 weeks. Outsourced multi-site rollouts (agencies with multiple client locations and contracts) typically run 6 to 10 weeks. Every project ships with a named delivery owner, a published timeline, a UAT environment and weekly status reviews.
