Gear Up HRM review
A broad HR platform for Gulf teams that need WPS payroll and workforce records.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Gear Up HRM is a human resource management platform from Gear Up Technology for startups, small and mid-market businesses, and enterprises in the UAE. It brings employee master records, document and visa tracking, payroll, WPS file generation, gratuity calculations, attendance, leave, recruitment, onboarding, performance management, employee self-service and analytics into one system. The platform is available through cloud, self-hosted and mobile deployment options, with Arabic and English support and mobile check-ins for workforce management.
Pricing is customized by employee count and requirements, so buyers should approach the vendor with their workforce structure and operational scope. The strongest functional fit is for organizations that need locally relevant payroll workflows alongside daily HR administration. Biometric and mobile attendance, leave approvals and balance tracking, payslips, personal-information updates, KPI tracking, goals and 360-degree feedback extend the product beyond payroll. WPS file generation and gratuity calculations are particularly relevant to UAE-focused HR teams managing payroll and employee lifecycle processes together.
Gear Up HRM also connects with accounting systems, ERP systems, single sign-on providers, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and recruiting job portals through APIs or listed integrations. Support is available by email and phone, with 24/7 support offered. Teams that want a broad HR suite spanning records, time tracking, onboarding, performance, analytics and employee self-service should consider it. Organizations seeking a product centered on non-Gulf payroll rules, or those requiring clearly defined integration scope before a sales discussion, may prefer an alternative with a narrower regional focus or more standardized packaging.
