HR and payroll in Asia are complex — fragmented regulations, multiple templates, manual approvals, and growing compliance risks.
HR Forte was built to solve exactly that.
As we close 2025, HR Forte launches its most powerful feature release to date, designed for companies operating across Asia that demand accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
This release introduces AI-driven compliance, workflow automation, flexible data handling, paperless signing, and next-generation reporting — all in one platform.
AskGenie is HR Forte’s built-in AI assistant, designed to answer HR, payroll, and personal tax questions across multiple APAC countries.
With AskGenie, businesses can:
Get instant, verified answers based on official regulatory sources
Navigate complex payroll and labour rules with confidence
Access guidance in multiple languages
Reduce dependency on external consultants and manual research
AskGenie transforms HR Forte from a system into a real-time compliance intelligence platform.
Manual approvals slow teams down and increase error risk.
With Workflow Automation, HR Forte allows users to automate:
Approval chains
Rule-based actions
Notifications and escalations
Onboarding and offboarding processes
No coding required.
No rigid templates.
This enables HR teams to standardise processes, reduce human error, and scale operations effortlessly across countries.
HR documents should be organised, traceable, and accessible — not scattered across emails and folders.
My Documents provides:
A secure central repository for HR and payroll documents
Employee-specific folders accessible via ESS
Automatic storage of eSigned documents
Controlled access and audit trails
This ensures governance, compliance, and operational clarity for HR teams and employees alike.
Data migration and monthly updates are often painful due to inconsistent templates.
With Dynamic Import, users can:
Upload spreadsheets in any format
Map columns to HR Forte fields
Save mapping rules for recurring use
Import data accurately in minutes
This feature is ideal for:
Professional service providers
Regional payroll teams
Companies migrating from legacy systems
Dynamic Import removes friction and gives users full flexibility without compromising data integrity.
HR Forte’s integrated eSign module enables digital signing directly within the platform.
Key benefits:
Single or multi-party signing
Signature sequencing
Real-time tracking
Automatic storage in My Documents
This supports remote teams, regional operations, and sustainability initiatives, while significantly reducing turnaround time.
Traditional HR reports are static and restrictive.
HRIQ introduces:
Pivot-style reporting
Drag-and-drop report building
Real-time data visibility
Customisable views and exports
HR and finance teams can generate insights across headcount, payroll, compensation, and statutory data — tailored to how they analyse their business.
HRIQ turns HR data into decision-ready intelligence.
This December 2025 release positions HR Forte as more than an HR system.
It is:
An AI-powered compliance platform
A workflow automation engine
A secure HR document hub
A flexible data integration system
A strategic reporting solution
All built specifically for Asia’s regulatory complexity.
This release marks a major step in HR Forte’s roadmap toward fully intelligent, automated, and scalable HR operations.
