Karmly Workforce

The operating system for labour hire.

Shift allocation, timesheets, payroll, billing and margin reporting in one platform. Built for agencies placing blue-collar workers on hourly jobs, from 50 to several thousand a week.

Why it’s different

One record, from roster to invoice.

Most agencies arrive from a workforce system bolted to a separate payroll and an accounting package, or from spreadsheets. Workforce replaces the joins.

  1. 01

    Margin before the invoice

    Pay and bill are calculated together from the same shift, so you know the margin before the invoice is raised, not after.

  2. 02

    Rules, not rate cards

    Awards and site rules are configured once as rules, not as one rate card per client per grade.

  3. 03

    Priced like an on-cost

    Fees are a percentage of payroll, loaded into the bill rate like any other on-cost. No per-seat licences.

  4. 04

    Approval without a login

    Clients approve time by email, straight from their phone.

  5. 05

    Payroll compliance built in

    Holidays Act leave in weeks, otherwise-working-day logic and payday filing to IRD, all native.

  • Read-only

    Your assistant can look, not change. Rosters, pays and invoices stay exactly as your team left them.

  • Private by design

    Personal details are never shared: no contact details, bank accounts, tax numbers or pay rates.

  • Everything that matters

    Profitability, hours, payroll, billing, cash flow, leave balances, expenses and placements.

  • Which clients made the most money last quarter?
  • What’s our leave liability right now?
  • How many hours did each team work last week?
  • When will this month’s invoices be paid?
  • Who are our top consultants by placement margin?
