Getting started
An introductory page that gets you up to speed on niyase's overview, how to get started, and the main menus in five minutes.
What is niyase
niyase is a business management tool you can use regardless of size or industry. It handles business-entity information, HR, attendance, payroll, accounting, financial close, and tax in a single app.
Main features:
- The same data everywhere: supports Web (cloud) / desktop (Electron) / mobile (iOS / Android). Spaces with cloud sync turned ON show the same content on every device
- All features even offline: the desktop and mobile versions run all features locally without using cloud sync (the encrypted DB on the device is the source of truth)
- Expandable with plugins: you can add business-specific features to the core features (managing information essential to paying taxes) through plugins
