Keep Mekari Talenta, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mekari Talenta you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.2 is higher than 72 of the 101 other HR software we grade.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off and applicant tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Mekari Klikpajak, Mekari Sign and Coretax DJP among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Mekari Talenta’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
