Accounting, payroll, sales, HR, projects, inventory and cashflow — all from one tab. Built around Netcash, SARS, and the major South African banks.
Everything you need
One login. One source of truth. Built for the way South African organisations actually run.
From sole traders to growing teams — quoting, invoicing, supplier payments, payroll, CRM and stock in one place.
Built for municipal finance — strict role controls and a complete audit trail, with mSCOA-aligned reporting coming soon.
NPOs and NGOs — manage staff and volunteers, track every rand, and produce the reports funders and boards expect.
Schools, clubs, co-ops and agencies. If you invoice, employ people and watch cashflow, Zealo fits.
Quotes → sales orders → invoices, emailed as branded PDFs. Recurring invoices, credit notes, multi-currency and payments — all VAT-ready.
Pay creditors in bulk via Netcash. Build a batch, submit, track release — no spreadsheet exports, no recapturing.
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.
See your cash position weeks ahead, not months behind. Walk into accountant meetings prepared.
Employee records, teams, org chart, contracts. Self-service for staff to update their own details.
Apply for leave, approve from a single queue, track attendance and clock-ins. Built around SA leave types.
Log time per project, claim subsistence & travel against SARS-default rates, manager approval flow built in.
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.
Each employee sees their own profile, payslips, leave balance, timesheets, expense claims — no extra logins.
Live org chart from your employee + team data. No PowerPoint sketches that go stale the moment someone joins.
Set goals, run quarterly reviews and keep a record of how the team's tracking — all against the same employee data.
Plan budgeted positions and a hiring pipeline, then see planned headcount and salary cost against your actual active team — with the gaps to fill.
Accounts, contacts, deals with stages and forecasts. Lightweight enough that sales actually keeps it current.
Active projects, who's working on what, and a true cost per project — labour, expenses, purchase orders and stock issued, all rolled into one report.
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.
Know what you own — laptops, vehicles, equipment — what it cost, where it is, and who's holding it. Assign assets to employees or locations.
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.
Cash position, unpaid bills due this month, leave queue, opportunities — every module on one page.
A getting-started checklist walks new admins through company details, chart of accounts, team and first invoice.
Revenue, expenses and net profit for the period, money owed to you and money you owe, plus a month-by-month income-vs-expense trend and your worst overdue invoices and bills.
Import statements (CSV, OFX/QFX or QIF) and reconcile — Zealo suggests the matching invoice or bill and records the payment.
Real double-entry underneath — a chart of accounts, general ledger and trial balance. Invoices, bills and payments post themselves automatically; add manual journals when you need them.
Income statement, balance sheet and a VAT201 (output vs input VAT) — generated straight from your ledger for any period, always tied back to the journals.
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.
Finance sees finance. HR sees HR. Employees see their own stuff. Permission model that actually scales with your org.
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.
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.
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."
