Info-Tech Payroll alternative
A modern, pay-once alternative to Info-Tech Payroll
Info-Tech is a long-standing Malaysian HR and payroll system, strong where biometric attendance hardware is already installed. If you want a lighter app on Mac or Windows for a single one-time price, Orbit HR is worth comparing.
Info-Tech has a long track record in Malaysian payroll, a large installed base, and an ecosystem around attendance devices and service contracts. That suits factories and larger operations. Smaller offices often pay for depth they never open. Orbit HR gives you statutory payroll, leave, attendance and self-service in one app, for RM249 once, unlimited employees, on macOS and Windows.

When to stay with Info-Tech
Stay with your current tool if:
- —You already run biometric or card readers wired into it
- —A service contract with on-site support is part of how you operate
- —Your headcount and shift rules go beyond what a small app should handle
- —An established bureau already processes your payroll in Info-Tech
Can Orbit HR handle shift work and overtime?+
Yes. There is a roster grid for shift businesses, timesheets that show schedule against actual, kiosk PIN clock-in on a shared screen, and overtime calculated at Employment Act multipliers for rest days and public holidays, flowing straight into the payroll run.
Does Orbit HR connect to biometric devices?+
No. Clock-in is by kiosk PIN on a shared device, and timesheets can be entered or adjusted by hand. If your attendance already runs on fingerprint or card readers wired into Info-Tech, that integration is a real reason to stay.
What statutory outputs does Orbit HR produce?+
Bilingual payslips as PDF, the year-end EA form, Borang A, Borang 8A, CP39, CP58, and salary payment and bank files. EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and the HRD Corp levy are calculated from dated rate tables and checked against the published schedules by an automated test suite on every release.
