Everything you need

Stop juggling six apps and a spreadsheet

One login. One source of truth. Built for the way South African organisations actually run.

Companies

From sole traders to growing teams — quoting, invoicing, supplier payments, payroll, CRM and stock in one place.

Municipalities

Built for municipal finance — strict role controls and a complete audit trail, with mSCOA-aligned reporting coming soon.

Non-profits

NPOs and NGOs — manage staff and volunteers, track every rand, and produce the reports funders and boards expect.

And more

Schools, clubs, co-ops and agencies. If you invoice, employ people and watch cashflow, Zealo fits.

Money in & out

Quotes, orders & invoicing

Send branded quotes, confirm them as sales orders, pick & fulfil from stock, then invoice in a click — email any document — quote, sales order, invoice or credit note — as a PDF straight to your customer, record payments and watch the balance drop. Set up recurring invoices to bill retainers automatically, and raise credit notes when you need to reverse a charge. Bill in any currency — USD, EUR, GBP and more — with the exchange rate stored on each document. VAT-ready, with proper PDFs and your banking details for the customer.

Supplier payments

Pay creditors in bulk via Netcash. Build a batch, submit, track release — no spreadsheet exports, no recapturing.

Bills, POs & creditors

Capture supplier invoices, track due dates, schedule into batches. Raise purchase orders, receive goods into stock with electronic GRNs, send stock back with goods return notes, and convert orders to bills. Recurring bills auto-create each month.

Cashflow forecasts

See your cash position weeks ahead, not months behind. Walk into accountant meetings prepared.

Your team

HR & employees

Employee records, teams, org chart, contracts. Self-service for staff to update their own details.

Leave & attendance

Apply for leave, approve from a single queue, track attendance and clock-ins. Built around SA leave types.

Timesheets & S&T

Log time per project, claim subsistence & travel against SARS-default rates, manager approval flow built in.

Payroll & tax

SA-compliant payslips with PAYE, UIF & SDL, medical-aid and retirement tax credits, payslip PDFs, and salary batches that flow into Netcash. Year-end EMP501/IRP5 certificates and UIF declaration ready.

Self-service portal

Each employee sees their own profile, payslips, leave balance, timesheets, expense claims — no extra logins.

Organogram

Live org chart from your employee + team data. No PowerPoint sketches that go stale the moment someone joins.

Performance reviews

Set goals, run quarterly reviews and keep a record of how the team's tracking — all against the same employee data.

Sales & operations

CRM & opportunities

Accounts, contacts, deals with stages and forecasts. Lightweight enough that sales actually keeps it current.

Project management

Active projects, costing per project, who's working on what. Tie time and expenses to the right bucket.

Inventory & stock

Track items and stock levels across multiple locations, log stock movements, link items to suppliers, set Min/Max reorder levels with low-stock alerts, and organise with your own categories.

Asset register

Know what you own — laptops, vehicles, equipment — what it cost, where it is, and who's holding it. Assign assets to employees or locations.

For software teams

Developer effort tracking

Connect your code repositories (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab and others) to estimate engineering hours from commits, surface contributor activity, and link work to projects. No timer apps, no chasing developers for timesheets.

Connected to your stack

One dashboard

Cash position, unpaid bills due this month, leave queue, opportunities — every module on one page.

Plays nicely with your accounting

Sync with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Accounting or Sage Payroll if you've already invested there — or use Zealo's own books and skip the second tool entirely.

Roles & permissions

Finance sees finance. HR sees HR. Employees see their own stuff. Permission model that actually scales with your org.

Audit trail

Every create, change and deletion on your invoices, quotes, credit notes, bills, orders and customers is logged — who did what, when, and what changed. Built for auditors and compliance.

Import & export

Bulk-load customers, inventory and products from a spreadsheet to get started fast. Every list exports straight to Excel or CSV when your accountant or auditor asks.

Multiple companies, one login

Run several organisations from a single account and switch between them in a click — ideal for groups, and for accountants servicing many clients.

"We stopped paying for a stack of accounting, payroll, CRM and project-tracking tools. Zealo replaced all of them — and it's actually built for how we work."
