brioHR

brioHR is an HR software provider that describes itself as made in Asia for Asia and deeply local in Malaysia. The pages fetched do not state the founding year or headquarters, and list Malaysia and Singapore as served markets. The site reports over 1,000 clients in F&B, healthcare, education, finance and government.

The platform covers talent attraction (job board, ATS, onboarding), core HR (employee file, leave, claims, payroll, time and attendance, timesheets), and talent management (performance, a training system, pulse surveys, shift planning, analytics). Payroll outsourcing, global payroll and statutory submission services complement the software, and modules are sold modularly.

• Recruitment and ATS: job board, applicant tracking and employee onboarding.
• Core HR: digital employee file, leave, expense claims and document management.
• Payroll: payroll, statutory submission and salary disbursement.
• Time and attendance: attendance, timesheets and shift planning.
• Training system: training management alongside performance management.
• Analytics: reporting and pulse surveys for HR teams.

A Vietnamese company with a Malaysian or Singapore subsidiary can run payroll and leave for those entities in one platform. A multi-branch service business can use shift planning and attendance with training records.

• Modular scope lets a company pay only for the HR modules it needs.
• Statutory compliance badges for Malaysia and Singapore reduce regulatory work.
• A training system and pulse surveys sit next to core HR and payroll.
• Payroll outsourcing is available for teams without in-house payroll staff.

Southeast Asian SMEs are digitising HR and payroll, and regional vendors with local statutory rules are attracting investment, as the May 2025 Series A shows. Vietnam is not mentioned on the site, so entry would need local compliance work.

Series A of about US$6.5 million led by Openspace Ventures (May 2025). Compliance logos shown: PDPA, GDPR, HRDF, LHDN, DJP, PSG EDGE. Apps on Google Play, App Store and Huawei AppGallery.
