About Kelola

We build honest HR software for Southeast Asia

It started with one problem: nobody could prove who really showed up for work. So we built clock-in that can’t be faked, and one clean record for every person.

Clocked in on time

…but were they really there?

The question that started Kelola.

The problem we saw

Two things quietly broke HR everywhere we looked — so we set out to fix both at once.

It started with attendance. A manager knew the sheet was wrong. People clocked in for friends who were still on the way — buddy-punching (one worker clocking in for another). The numbers looked fine. The truth did not match them.

The rest of HR lived in spreadsheets. Names in one file, pay in another, leave in a third — spreadsheet sprawl. Nobody knew which file was right. Fixing this meant fixing both problems together: prove who really showed up, and keep one clean, honest record for each person.

What we stand for

Three promises that shape every decision we make.
  • Honesty is built into the product
    We don’t sell fingerprint scanners. We built clock-in that can’t be faked — a rolling QR code plus phone GPS, and no hardware to buy.
  • Your data is a responsibility, not a product
    Every company stays fully isolated — you never see another company’s data. Sensitive pay and ID fields are encrypted, and we never sell your data.
  • Made for the region
    Built for teams in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and the rules they must follow — including UU PDP (Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law).
