What is Zoho People?

Zoho People is a comprehensive cloud-based HRMS (Human Resource Management System) developed by Zoho Corporation — one of the world's largest privately held software companies, headquartered in Chennai, India. Zoho People sits at the centre of your HR operations — managing the complete employee lifecycle from hire to exit. It provides a centralised employee database, org chart, leave management with approval workflows, attendance tracking (manual, biometric, or geofencing), performance appraisals with goals and 360° feedback, onboarding checklists, offboarding workflows, self-service portal for employees, document management, asset tracking, and workflow automation. Unlike standalone HR tools, Zoho People is designed to integrate seamlessly with Zoho Payroll (salary processing, statutory compliance), Zoho Recruit (candidate-to-employee flow), and Zoho CRM — creating a unified HR and business platform.

At its core, Zoho People eliminates manual HR processes — employees apply for leave through the portal, managers approve with one click, balances update automatically, and leave data flows to Payroll for salary calculation. Attendance from biometric devices or mobile app syncs in real time. Performance appraisal cycles run with configurable stages (self-assessment, manager review, calibration). Onboarding checklists ensure new joiners complete all tasks (IT setup, document collection, induction). Offboarding workflows track asset return, full and final, and access revocation. The self-service portal reduces HR workload by 40–60% for routine queries — employees view payslips, update contact details, request documents, and track leave without HR intervention.

Pricing starts with a Free plan for up to 5 employees — ideal for very small teams. Paid plans scale from Essential ₹210/employee/month (leave workflows, biometric attendance, shift management) to Professional ₹420/employee/month (Payroll and Recruit integration, advanced performance) to Enterprise ₹630/employee/month (CRM integration, multi-location, custom modules). As an Authorized Zoho Partner in Kuhi, PrecisionTech implements Zoho People with a strategic approach — designing leave policies, configuring attendance integration, building performance frameworks, setting up Payroll and Recruit sync, and training your HR team. 30+ years of IT experience. 285+ HRMS deployments across India.

ROI was visible within the first payroll cycle. Highly recommend."
