Company profile

Jem company profile

Jem builds HR Software for companies with frontline workers. Using WhatsApp, we make it easy for HR and Payroll Managers to send payslips, process leave requests and communicate with thousands of frontline workers in just a few clicks. Jem is system-agnostic and easily plugs into your existing payroll system, whether it's Sage or SAP. That means we can get you up and running in a day. HR and Payroll managers use the Jem Dashboard, a simple web-based application to communicate with their entire workforce. Frontline employees use the Jem WhatsApp channel to request payslips, apply for leave or take a salary advance without the need for an email address or an employee self-service app.
