Company profile
researched Sep 2026Asanify is a human resources technology company offering an integrated platform for payroll, HR management and global employment. Its product set spans an end-to-end HRMS covering onboarding, leave, attendance, expenses, documents, performance reviews and 360-degree feedback, an AI-powered learning management system for employee training, reporting and analytics, an HR helpdesk, and a partner API. The company positions the platform as AI-native, with features such as automatically generated offer letters, contracts and documents, AI-assisted performance tracking and feedback summaries, and analytics intended to support HR decision-making.
Alongside the HRMS, Asanify operates an employer-of-record (EOR) service that acts as the legal employer so client companies can hire full-time staff without establishing a local entity, handling payroll, taxes, benefits, contracts and statutory compliance while the client directs day-to-day work. The company states EOR coverage in 100+ countries (its EOR directory lists 132 countries) with onboarding setup in 24 hours, and says additional markets are served through a partner network. A separate global contractor management product covers contractor onboarding, contract signing, multi-currency payment, invoice generation and payouts, described as available across 200+ countries. Asanify says its security program is built on SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, with encryption, access controls and continuous monitoring, and it publishes a trust center.
The platform integrates with workplace tools including Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp and Google Workspace, and offers a connection that allows HR and payroll actions — cost calculations, employee data access, attendance marking, leave applications, payroll insights and document generation — to be carried out inside ChatGPT through an MCP-based system.
