Where TruHR is built differently
Field-first, not office-first
TruHR's attendance and reporting are designed around staff who work off-site by default, not as an add-on module.
Built for scale across sites
Whether you run 3 locations or 300, TruHR rolls attendance, payroll, and compliance up into one view.
Command centre, not a feature list
TruHR is structured around giving leadership one true picture of a distributed operation, not a set of standalone modules.
TruHR vs Keka, side by side
A quick look at how the two platforms differ for multi-location and field-heavy teams.
| Feature | TruHR | Keka |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Distributed, multi-location, field-heavy teams | Single-entity SMBs with an office-first workforce |
| Multi-location roll-up | Native, built for 100+ locations from one dashboard | Supported, but multi-entity setups add complexity |
| Field staff tools | GPS-verified attendance, geo-fenced check-ins, visit checklists | GPS punch and facial recognition available as features |
| Payroll grouping | By outlet, site, client, or contract | By entity, typically within a single organization |
| Compliance | PF, ESIC, PT, TDS auto-calculated, audit-trail ready per site | Compliant for Indian payroll, scoped mainly to one entity |
| Best fit | Retail, F&B, real estate, field sales, facility management, healthcare, education, automotive | SaaS and office-based teams, roughly 25 to 250 employees |
Is Keka a bad choice for multi-location businesses?
Does TruHR support the same core HR features as Keka?
Yes, payroll, attendance, leave, and compliance are all covered. The difference is in how deeply each platform is built for distributed, multi-site teams.
