From the Field
Trusted by HR professionals across Africa.
Ukuu HR cut our onboarding time from 3 days to 30 minutes. The country-specific compliance for Zambia and Tanzania is exactly what we needed.
Finally, an HR system that understands African payroll and statutory requirements. The leave module automatically handles public holidays across all our branches.
Get Started
The Bridge. Built into Ukuu HR.
Connect your LAN attendance devices, sync live records, and review imports from the same React application as your HR workspace — in the browser, or from the dedicated Bridge desktop app for macOS and Windows.
The Access Sync Bridge, installed on your machine.
A native macOS & Windows app that lives on the LAN with your terminals: signs in with your Ukuu HR credentials, probes Hikvision ISAPI devices, and runs an auto-sync daemon that stages every punch in the cloud for review — even when this browser tab is closed.
By the numbers
Built for the realities of running HR in Africa.

FAQ
Answers to the questions HR teams actually ask.
Is Ukuu HR specific to the Zambian tax system?
Can I import my existing employee list?
Does it work with our attendance device?
What if I don't have a Postgres database?
POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING and the app will use Postgres without any code changes.Can I run it on my own infrastructure?
/bridge/login from the same deployment — there is no separate C# runtime or desktop bridge to install.Is my data encrypted?
UKUU_ENCRYPTION_KEY (or a key file fallback). The encryption service never crashes on a missing key — it generates a process-stable one so your app keeps running during migrations.We built Ukuu HR after watching HR managers in Lusaka spend their Fridays on a calculator and a stack of paper timesheets. Every decision we make — every module, every screen, every line of code — is in service of one outcome: getting HR home on time.
