Are you juggling employee leave requests via WhatsApp? Is tracking sick days and overtime done in a messy, complicated spreadsheet? Is your desk covered in paper forms for expense claims?
For many small and medium-sized business owners in South Africa, managing Human Resources is a major time-drain. These essential but repetitive administrative tasks take you away from what you should be doing: focusing on your customers and growing your business. The old way of doing things is inefficient, prone to errors, and simply not sustainable as you scale.
Today, One Click Enterprise is thrilled to change that. We are proud to launch our very first ready-to-use AppSheet Template, available through our innovation wing, One Click Design Hub: The HR Management Hub.
What is the HR Management Hub?
The HR Management Hub is a powerful, yet simple, pre-built application that works instantly on any phone, tablet, or desktop computer.
It’s built on Google AppSheet and connects directly to a secure Google Sheet in your own Google Drive. This gives you a centralized, easy-to-use system to manage all of your core HR tasks, eliminating paperwork and streamlining your entire process from day one.
Key Features & Benefits: What's In It For You?
We designed this template to solve the most common HR headaches for SMEs.
✅ Centralized Employee Directory
What it is: A single, secure database with all your employee contact details, ID numbers, start dates, and positions.
The Benefit: Stop hunting through files for phone numbers. All staff information is in one up-to-date, easily accessible place.
✅ Automated Leave Management System
What it is: Your employees can request annual leave or log sick leave directly from the app on their phones. Managers receive an instant notification and can approve or deny the request with a single click.
The Benefit: Say goodbye to paper forms and confusing email chains. The app automatically tracks leave balances and provides a clear calendar view of who is off and when.
✅ On-the-Go Expense Claims
What it is: Staff can submit expense claims in seconds by filling out a simple form and taking a photo of their receipt with their phone's camera.
The Benefit: No more lost slips or delayed reimbursements. Streamline your entire expense process and approve claims from anywhere.

Who Is This For?
