Why Choose

Why Choose
Attendo?

Rules That Fit Your Business

Attendo sets up your salary rules your way - different overtime rates, half-day logic, shift mixes, whatever your business runs on. Mantra's own policy says their platform does not support custom feature development under standard plans. You work around the software.

Loans And Advances Built In

Attendo lets you log an advance, set the repayment schedule, and the deductions apply every month until it's repaid. Mantra's Minopcloud doesn't list loans, advances, or arrears anywhere. If your business runs on these, it's a gap you'll fill somewhere else.

An App Your Staff Will Actually Use

Attendo's employee app works in 11 Indian regional languages. Plus you get daily WhatsApp updates on attendance, leaves, and payroll. Mantra's Minop app is English only, with no WhatsApp updates.

You Go Live The Same Day

With Attendo, we come in, set up the hardware, enroll your team, and you run payroll by evening. With Mantra, setup is a project. Their own homepage shares a testimonial about a 15-20 day implementation.

The Mindset Difference

We built Attendo for one thing - running payroll for SME owners.

Everything in it exists because an SME owner asked for it. Nothing feels over-engineered. Nothing feels missing.

To Attendo

03

Go Live The Same Day

First punch, first salary rule, first payroll - all from day one.

Our Principles

What We Refused to
Compromise On

Payroll breaks when small compromises stack up. We chose not to make them.

Accuracy
The punch goes straight into that employee's salary. No CSV in between, no correction sheet at month-end.
Uptime
Our hardware is built for daily use and covered for life. Most attendance devices treat downtime as your problem once the warranty ends.
Accountability
If the device fails, it's ours to fix. If the software has a bug on salary day, it's ours to solve.

Still Comparing?

FAQ

Attendo vs Mantra
FAQs

What happens on salary day if something goes wrong?
Call us. We work 24×7, including salary days. You're not raising a ticket and waiting for a reply.
How fast can I actually start running payroll?
Same day. Our team installs the device, configures your salary rules, and you run payroll by evening.
Can Attendo handle my specific salary rules?
Yes. Different overtime rates by role, varied half-day rules, mixed monthly and daily wage staff - we configure all of it during setup. Standard SaaS platforms often can't adapt that way.
Can I move my data from Mantra to Attendo?
Yes. Share your employee data, attendance records, and salary structure. We bring it in during setup.
Will this work for multiple branches?
Yes. One login shows every branch. Add outlets as you grow - the plan doesn't change.
Does Attendo handle PF, ESI, and TDS?
Yes. All three are calculated on every salary automatically. You set the rules once.
I'm a small business. Will Mantra's enterprise platform be overkill?
Likely, yes. Minopcloud is built around 8 modules, modular pricing, and customers like Tata Power and Ashok Leyland. Attendo is built for SME owners - simple, one system, one cost.
