Attendance tracking covers offices, shifts, and field teams using biometric, GPS, and mobile check-ins. Talent tools span hiring, sourcing, screening, interviews, engagement, learning, performance reviews, goals, and recognition. Keka lists Android, iOS, web, API, and extension support, as well as mobile apps. Its marketplace offers more than 100 integrations, including Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, and accounting apps; API and webhooks are add-ons. The Foundation plan includes core HR, onboarding, leave, attendance, payroll automation, and a mobile app. Other listed plans add capabilities such as people analytics, workflow automation, performance management, project tools, or resource allocation. Keka offers a free trial, but no free plan, and pricing is available on request.
