Case Study: Plum achieves unified, automated HR processes with Keka

How Plum unified and automated HR processes with Keka

Plum, a fintech-founded employee benefits startup founded in 2019, grew rapidly to a headcount of roughly 150 employees and struggled with fragmented, manual HR processes — complex Excel-based target payouts, time-consuming leave tracking, error-prone payroll calculations, and slow expense approvals. After evaluating several systems, Plum selected Keka’s HRMS and employee experience platform to address these challenges.

Keka implemented automated leave management (mobile apps, real-time notifications, departmental reporting), a unified payroll dashboard with automated calculations and compliance tools, an expense workflow that flags policy violations, and integrated performance and communications features. As a result, Keka gave Plum centralized visibility into leave and payroll (handling payroll runs totaling INR 52,10,000 in the shown period), eliminated manual payroll errors, sped up month-end processing, improved expense compliance and approvals, and streamlined employee communications and document access.
