Workforce management, built for Mauritius

Manta turns clock-ins into payslips. Attendance from terminals, phones and kiosks, leave, and payroll with the statutory rules built into the engine — one system your HR team can actually run.

One platform

Everything between the clock-in and the payslip

Most teams run attendance in one place, leave in a spreadsheet and payroll in another. Manta keeps them in a single record, so hours become pay without a re-key.

Time & attendance

Punches from terminals, phones and kiosks resolve into one payroll-ready day per employee.

  • Schedules per site and day-type
  • Overtime tiers, grace and lateness
  • Exception flags and sign-off

Leave

A configurable leave catalogue with entitlements, balances and a signed ledger behind every day taken.

  • Annual, sick, maternity and custom types
  • Half-days and medical certificates
  • Approval queue and leave liability

Payroll

Deductions, overtime and allowances computed from attendance, frozen as an immutable snapshot.

  • Print-ready payslips, emailed to staff
  • Bank bulk-credit files
  • Draft → review → locked workflow

People & org

One profile per employee — pay, documents, schedule, leave and history on a single hub.

  • Documents with expiry reminders
  • Grades, designations, cost centres
  • Reporting lines and org chart

Talent

Hire, train and review in the same system that already holds the employment record.

  • Requisitions, careers page and pipeline
  • Training records and expiring certificates
  • Appraisal cycles with weighted criteria

Control

Role-based access, a full audit trail and a REST API — with the deployment carrying your name.

  • Roles plus a separate payroll grant
  • Audit log on every mutation
  • Your name and logo throughout

Time & attendance

Capture hours the way each site actually works

A head office, a yard and a remote site rarely clock in the same way. Manta takes all of them and produces one consistent day per employee.

  • Biometric terminals. Works with standard biometric devices — Hikvision, ZKTeco and similar. Using something else? Ask us and we will check yours.
  • Phone QR with geofencing. Each printed site poster is signed for that one site, so a photo of it cannot be used to clock in elsewhere. GPS must fall inside the site radius.
  • Shared kiosk or manual register. One tablet at the gate with a PIN per worker, or a supervisor-entered register — both fully audited.
  • Overtime you can defend. Computed from punches against the schedule, with a grace window — not typed in.
  • Face matching that never locks anyone out. Runs on your own server; if it is unavailable the punch is still accepted and flagged. Nobody is left standing at the gate.

Payroll & compliance

Statutory payroll, without the spreadsheet

The deductions your accountant expects are first-class, versioned rules in the engine. You review the run; Manta shows its workings.

Rates change without rewriting history

Activate a new rule set with an effective date. Earlier periods keep the rates that applied then, so re-running an old month produces the old figures.

Every payslip shows its own workings

Each line stores a frozen snapshot of its inputs and the rules applied, so a figure can be explained months later without recomputing anything.

A missing rule is a gap, not a zero

A salary outside every configured band is marked uncovered and counted on the run — surfaced before payslips go out, not at the audit.

Paid the way your bank expects

Bank bulk-credit files, department-grouped paysheets, and payslips emailed straight to employees.

Want the detail, line by line? Ask for a walkthrough and we will run your own payroll end to end — every statutory line included.

Visibility

Answer “who is where, right now?” without a phone call

An executive view over today and the pay period — presence by site, lateness, overtime, leave mix and trend.

  • Live day view. Clocked in, late, no punch yet, absent, on leave — each one clickable through to names.
  • Exceptions surface themselves. Flagged punches and unvalidated days queue up instead of hiding.
  • Report catalogue. Attendance, overtime, leave and payroll reports, exportable and emailable.
  • Know when the month is closeable. A final register counts every unresolved day, or tells you the period is clean.

Security & data protection

Built for payroll-grade confidentiality

Salary and biometric data carry real obligations under the Mauritius Data Protection Act. Access is narrow by default and every change is attributable.

Least privilege by role

Roles gate every page, and payroll visibility is a separate grant on top — an administrator does not automatically see salaries.

Everything is attributable

Every change writes an audit entry with the user, the old value and the new. Locked periods refuse writes at every path — engine, imports, corrections and register alike.

Biometric data handled deliberately

Face data stays in your own database and matching runs on your own server. Offboarding erases face data and clock-in selfies in one transaction.

Your deployment, your data

Manta runs as a single tenant on infrastructure you can point to, with database backups you can download.

Hardened access

Signed session cookies, rate-limited sign-in and password reset, and scoped API keys for integrations.

Your name throughout

Your company name carries through the app, payslips, certificates and site posters; an uploaded logo replaces the mark in the app, sign-in and careers pages.

Questions

Common questions

Is Manta actually built for Mauritius, or adapted to it?

Built for it. The statutory deductions are modelled in the payroll engine itself, as dated, versioned rule sets — not configured as generic formulas after the fact.

What happens when statutory rates change?

You create a new rule set from the active one, set the effective date and activate it. Runs before that date keep the previous set, so historical payslips stay correct.

Can we keep our existing biometric terminals?

Usually, yes. Standard terminals such as Hikvision and ZKTeco connect without extra work — tell us which devices you run and we will confirm before you commit to anything.

What about sites with no scanner or no signal?

Use the phone QR with GPS geofencing, a shared kiosk tablet with PINs, or the manual register where a supervisor records the day. All three land in the same attendance record.

Do employees need to install an app?

No. Clock-in runs in the phone browser and can be added to the home screen. Employees can also check their own attendance, leave balance and payslips there.

How do we try it?

Ask for a demo and we will send you a login of your own. It is a full working system loaded with sample data — click through payroll, attendance and leave. Nothing in it is real employee data, and the login is yours rather than a password shared with everyone.
