Run your labour hire business with clarity and control.
Roles, rosters, workers, hours, pay and billing in one platform. Built for the speed and complexity of blue-collar labour hire.
When operations sit across multiple systems, small gaps become big problems. A missing licence. An outdated rate. A half-finished timesheet. Karmly closes the gaps.
“Karmly’s focus on compliance is particularly important in our environment with complex payroll needs. Our team also loves the modern, one-click solution approach and the fact the system is innovative, thoughtful & intuitive.”
General Manager Operations, Accordant
One platform
One shift. One record. From first call to final invoice.
A confirmed shift is the same shift that clocks in, gets costed, feeds payroll and lands on the client invoice. No re-keying, no double handling, no shadow spreadsheets.
01 / 08
Sourcing
Live talent pools by skill, location, clearance or client. Share a job and qualified workers put their hands up in minutes.
Skills carry review dates, so licences and tickets never quietly lapse. Smart Fill ranks who’s qualified and available, and JobAdder or TrackerRMS placements arrive ready to roster.
02 / 08
Scheduling
Allocate by skills, availability, site permissions, preferences and cost. Publish with confidence and change on the fly.
Jobs hold the shifts, teams and site rules on one screen. Cost, revenue and labour percentage update as you plan, so you see the margin on a job before a single hour is worked.
03 / 08
Onboarding
Bank details, licences, policy sign-offs and inductions in one guided flow. Every worker ready on day one.
Forms, bank details and documents are collected in the Workspace app, and approved answers write straight to the employee record. No re-keying, and nothing chased by email.
04 / 08
Time and approvals
Photo and GPS clock-ins with no hardware. Exceptions surface on the day, and clients approve hours in a click.
Approved time is locked. Any change is revoked, edited and re-approved with the audit trail intact, and scheduled reminders chase empty timesheets before pay day, not after.
05 / 08
Payroll and compliance
Overtime tiers, site loadings, awards and allowances handled natively. Pay runs built from the same time that built the shift.
Rulesets resolve overtime, penalties and allowances in priority order, so every hour is paid once. Public holidays, Holidays Act leave in weeks and payday filing to IRD are handled natively.
06 / 08
Client billing
Every invoice generated instantly, per site or across a portfolio, with approvals attached. Fewer disputes, faster payment.
Bill rates follow pay automatically as a margin, or are set by hand. The billing review shows every outstanding item before a draft invoice is created, and invoices sync to Xero.
07 / 08
Worker comms
Shift updates, cover requests and two-way messaging in every worker’s hand. Everyone aligned, from back office to front line.
Workers see their shifts, pick up open ones, request leave and read payslips in one app, branded to your agency. Fewer calls to the office, and fewer payroll queries.
08 / 08
Insights
Profitability by client, fill rate by site, cost variance by award. From trend to single shift in two clicks.
Forecast versus actual margin on every job, with alerts when a threshold is crossed. Build table and chart reports, pin them to dashboards, or connect Power BI through Microsoft Fabric.
