Your HR Team's Smartest Colleague

Six AI-powered tools that turn your workforce data into strategic decisions — automatically.

AI HR Assistant

Employees and managers ask HR questions in plain language. The AI assistant answers instantly — leave balances, policy explanations, payslip queries, and more.

Attrition Prediction

The system analyses attendance patterns, performance trends, engagement data, and tenure to identify which employees are at highest risk of leaving — before they resign.

Sentiment Analysis

Anonymous pulse surveys and engagement data are analysed to detect burnout risks, disengagement signals, and team morale issues across departments.

Workforce Forecasting

AI models forecast your hiring requirements, department growth, workforce gaps, and future payroll costs — enabling proactive planning, not reactive crisis management.

Compliance Alerts Engine

Automatically monitors contract expirations, work permits, professional licences, and certifications — generating alerts before anything lapses.

Talent Marketplace & Succession

AI identifies high-potential employees, recommends internal career moves, and builds succession pipelines — reducing your dependence on external recruitment.

★★★★★

Mvungi Smart HR transformed how we manage our 180 staff. Payroll processing that used to take two days now takes two hours — and PAYE is calculated automatically with zero errors.

Chisomo Banda
HR Manager, Blantyre Finance Group
★★★★★

As an NGO managing 60 volunteers alongside 40 permanent staff, we needed a system that understood our structure. Mvungi HR is the only one that handled both without compromises.

Alinafe Msowoya
Executive Director, Lilongwe NGO Consortium
★★★★★

The AI attrition prediction flagged three at-risk employees before they resigned. We were able to intervene with two of them. That alone saved us months of recruitment costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mvungi Smart HR Manager is an AI-powered Human Capital Management (HCM) platform built for African organisations. It covers the complete employee lifecycle — recruitment, onboarding, attendance, payroll, performance, learning, and offboarding — in one integrated system. It is built on top of the Mvungi Job Master platform and connects directly to Malawi's largest active job seeker pool.
Yes. The payroll engine calculates PAYE according to current Malawi Revenue Authority tax brackets, which are configurable through the database — not hardcoded. The system also handles pension contributions, SACCO deductions, union dues, salary advances, loans, allowances, and generates payslips and MRA-ready payroll reports.
Absolutely. The NGO Workforce and Field Staff modules are designed specifically for non-traditional workforces. You can manage permanent staff, volunteers, consultants, enumerators, and interns in the same system — with GPS check-in, project-based payroll, donor-formatted reports, and separate contract management for each worker type.
Most organisations are fully operational within 48 hours. Our team handles initial configuration, data migration from spreadsheets or existing systems, and provides onboarding training for your HR administrators. Complex implementations with multiple branches may take up to one week.
Yes — Mvungi Smart HR Manager is natively integrated with Mvungi Job Master. When you post a vacancy in the HR system, it is instantly published to the Mvungi job board and visible to 8,500+ active candidates. Applications flow directly into your HR recruitment pipeline — no manual export or import required.
Security is a core design principle. All data is encrypted, access is role-based (administrators see different data than employees), all actions are audit-logged, and the system supports multi-factor authentication. Data is backed up automatically every 24 hours. Your employee data is never shared or used for any other purpose.
Pricing is based on the number of active employees managed in the system. We offer plans for small teams (under 50 employees), medium organisations (50–250 employees), and enterprise deployments (250+ employees). Contact our team or request a demo to receive a custom quote for your organisation's specific needs.
