Salary still takes two days, because the names live in four places.
The person on leave still has three tickets on the board. Someone spends the last week of the month copying names between these.
02
“Need Monday off” sits under a meme. The manager sees it on Sunday night, or not at all.
03
greytHR or Keka
Payroll works. Keka Strength is ₹12,999 a month for 50 people, and the project board is a separate bill.
04
Trello or Asana
The work. It has no idea who is on leave, or what that person costs the company.
Clan is the login those four share.
Free for the first 10 people. Then ₹89 a month for each person who worked, not for empty seats.
What you get, and what we left out.
Payroll, attendance, leave, the project board, and a way to see if the quarter is on track. The rest of a typical HRMS menu stays out of the way.
Projects
Tasks sit next to the people doing them. If someone is on leave, you see it before you assign the release.
OKRs and 1:1s
Company goals, the person’s goals under them, and a 1:1 agenda. Updated in the week, not reconstructed at appraisal.
The team wall
Shoutouts, birthdays, and a mood check. Enough to notice the team has gone quiet, without a separate engagement product.
ClanMate
Ask the HR data you already have.
Leave balance, the work-from-home policy, who is in today. It answers from Clan, and only what that person is already allowed to see.
See how ClanMate worksWhy we built this
We built Clan because we needed it ourselves.
Froiden Technologies — our software company in Jaipur — had 34 people running HR on Excel, approvals on WhatsApp, and projects scattered across three different tools.
We looked for an HRMS that could handle Indian compliance, OKRs, project tracking, and WhatsApp — all in one place, at a price that made sense for a 34-person team. It didn't exist.
So we built it. And then we realised every tech company in India has the same problem.
