GTS One ERP vs ZenHR

Amman-based Arabic HRMS and payroll within a wider ERP suite

GTS Software sells GTS One, a suite of ERP, HR and payroll, CRM, point of sale, fixed asset and property management software, from an office in Jabal Al Hussein, Amman, with further offices in Ramallah and Hebron. Its HRMS is described as an Arabic HR system available in the cloud or as SaaS, covering payroll, attendance, leave, loans, self-service and recruitment. Payroll posts ledger entries to the general ledger, which suits firms that also want the ERP.

Pros

• + Local vendor with an office in Amman
• + Payroll links to biometric attendance devices and auto-generated timesheets
• + Bank direct deposit to multiple bank accounts, plus WPS support
• + Multiple trial payroll runs before the final run

Cons

• − Its site does not mention Jordan SSC or income tax handling
• − No public prices
• − Its own pages give conflicting company history and customer figures

Bilingual cloud HR and payroll with Jordan SSC and end-of-service calculations

Its Jordan page says the product is '100% compliant with Jordan Labor Law & SSC' and names customers in Amman, Irbid and Zarqa. Beyond payroll it covers attendance, employee self-service, performance and applicant tracking.

• + Bilingual Arabic and English web and mobile apps
• + Payroll exports to QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and Odoo

Cons
