Cercli (YC S23) is the modern employee data platform for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Even today, companies across MENA manage payroll, employee information, documents, onboarding checklists, and a plethora of other tasks manually. They default to spreadsheets, legacy enterprise solutions, and dated basic HR solutions, causing an array of issues and challenges, including human error and fraud, weak compliance, poor transparency, and more. Cercli flips this upside down. It automates payroll, reimbursement, onboarding, offboarding, and more - by seamlessly integrating with tools across the workplace. Cercli’s purpose is to unlock the true potential of organizations and their people.
