BrioHR
Tier A · WorkableAll-in-one Malaysian HRMS & payroll, recruitment to payslip
A KL-HQ'd (founded 2018) Malaysia-born modular HRMS that raised a ~US$6.5M Series A and is expanding across ASEAN — aimed at growing SMEs that want a full HR suite, not just payroll.
Pros
- + Full-suite HRMS (recruitment → payroll)
- + Well-funded local company with regional ambition
- + Automates ~80% of routine HR tasks
- + 1,000+ companies
Cons
- − Pricing quote-based (less transparent)
- − Broad suite is more than a payroll-only buyer needs
- − Younger installed base than SQL/AutoCount
- − Onboarding heavier
Malaysia note
Fully LHDN-compliant — it streamlines EPF/SOCSO/EIS/HRDF/PCB and Malaysian public holidays inside a broader recruitment-to-payslip platform, fitting a contractor scaling its back office.
Kakitangan.com
Tier A · WorkableMalaysia-first HR & payroll built around local statutory workflows
One of the earliest, most recognised Malaysia-focused cloud HR/payroll brands, with a micro/small-business focus built on local fit and affordability.
Pros
- + Deep Malaysia-only focus
- + Affordable entry pricing
- + Complete statutory + EA/LHDN e-filing
- + Established local brand
Cons
- − Malaysia-only
- − Lighter feature set than enterprise HRIS
- − Micro/SME orientation may not suit larger firms

Malaysia note
Handles full statutory submissions (EPF/SOCSO/EIS/PCB/HRDF) plus the EA Form and LHDN e-filing — a cheap, local-first option for a small contractor making its first payroll hire.
