Certified for data protection

StackHR is certified under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation.

It works until about the fifteenth employee.

Then month-end starts costing you real time and real trust.

  • Payroll is a manual ritual

    One spreadsheet, one person who understands it, and no way to check the maths before the transfers go out.

  • Approvals vanish into WhatsApp

    Leave requests and expense claims sit in someone’s chat backlog. The employee has to chase. Twice.

  • Nobody can prove how employee data is handled

    NIN and BVN numbers live in a shared folder, and there’s no answer when an investor, auditor or regulator asks.

Three pillars, one platform.

Payroll Built for Africa

  • Automated Payroll Runs
  • Tax & Deduction Management

Manage Your Team End-to-End

Every employee record, document and approval in one place, so payroll and spend run off the same source of truth.

  • Employee Profiles & Documents
  • Leave Management
  • Automated Onboarding
  • Org Structure

Control Company Spending

Claims, approvals, and reimbursements run on the same records as payroll, so every naira is traceable back to a person and a budget.

  • Expense Claims & Tracking
  • Multi-Level Approvals
  • Automatic Reimbursements
  • Budget Management
  • Audit Trail

Built for African businesses, from day one.

StackHR brings People Operations, Payroll, and Spend Management into a single platform designed for the realities of running a business in Africa: multi-currency payroll, NDPA-aligned data handling, and workflows built around how African SMEs actually operate. We launched in beta on July 7, 2026, with a focused cohort of Nigerian businesses, and we are building in public.

Employee data is the most sensitive data you hold.

Here is exactly how we handle it, and what we don't claim.

Read the Data Processing Overview

  • Encrypted, and isolated at the database layer

    NIN and BVN are encrypted in transit and at rest, not stored as plain fields. One organisation’s records cannot be queried from another organisation’s session.

  • Access we can actually describe

    We won’t claim we can’t see your data, because a payroll system has to compute on it. Internal access is restricted to staff who need it for support, and it is logged and reviewed.

  • NDPR certified, aligned with NDPA 2023

    Our certification sits alongside data minimisation, purpose limitation, documented sub-processors, and in-region storage by default. Read exactly what we do.
