What spreadsheets are good at
Getting started quickly with no setup, and working fine for a handful of employees who all know each other.
HR software for UAE SMEs
Something between a spreadsheet and enterprise HR software.
Most small businesses in the UAE don't need the HR system a 5,000-person corporation uses. They need something more structured than a spreadsheet, without the implementation project that comes with enterprise software. That's the gap Namya is built for.
From AED 199/month. No per-user fees.
When the spreadsheet stops working
For a small team, a spreadsheet plus a shared inbox is a perfectly reasonable way to run HR. The trouble starts as the headcount grows: multiple people editing the same sheet, leave balances calculated by hand, and no clear record of who approved what or when. None of this shows up as a single dramatic failure — it shows up as small errors that accumulate, and as time spent reconciling information that should already agree.
Where they run out of road
Manager approvals, document expiry tracking, salary history and reporting all need structure that a shared sheet can't enforce on its own.
Structured approvals, without a heavy process
Growing SMEs still need approvals to mean something — a manager signing off leave, or a second person confirming a salary change — without turning every request into a formal workflow with weeks of setup. Namya routes leave requests to the right manager automatically and requires a two-stage approval for salary changes, with a record of who approved what and when, so accountability doesn't depend on someone remembering to check an inbox.
All employee information in one place
Instead of a directory in one file, documents in a shared drive and leave requests in a chat app, Namya keeps profiles, documents, visas, Emirates IDs, salary and leave history against the same employee record. Anyone with the right permissions can find current information without asking around first.
Pricing that doesn't punish growth
A lot of HR software charges per employee, which means the bill grows every time you hire. That model works against SMEs that are trying to scale. Namya keeps it simple with three flat monthly plans — AED 199 for up to 25 employees, AED 349 for 26–75, and AED 599 for 76–150 — with every current feature included on every plan and no separate tier to upgrade into.

Useful reporting without an analytics team
Small businesses rarely have a dedicated analyst building dashboards. Namya generates headcount, leave utilisation, attrition and salary-change reporting directly from the data already in the system, plus an interactive org chart, so answering a question about the team doesn't mean opening a new spreadsheet.
Reports & insights
Headcount, attrition and leave reporting drawn straight from your employee data, with no separate tool to maintain.

Role-based permissions mean sensitive information, like salary details, stays visible only to HR admin and executive roles as the team grows and more people need access to other parts of the system.
