What Darwinbox is

Darwinbox is a human capital management platform for enterprises, bringing HR operations and employee services together. Its HRMS suite covers workforce management, payroll and expenses, talent acquisition, employee engagement, talent management, and people analytics. Workforce management includes core HR, time and attendance, helpdesk, and work-from-home capabilities. Talent management provides performance management, OKRs, continuous and 360-degree feedback, and talent development. The mobile app gives employees access to HR documents and tasks related to attendance, payroll, expenses, recruitment, onboarding, engagement, and performance. Organizations can extend the platform through the Darwinbox Marketplace, which has apps from more than 60 partners in areas such as recruitment, background verification, digital signatures, and learning management. Darwinbox says there is no limit to the number of Marketplace solutions an organization can integrate; those purchases are billed by the providers under separate customer agreements. The service is offered on Android, iOS, web, and through an API. Darwinbox, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Hyderabad, India, describes its deployment as multi-tenant SaaS and lists ISO 27001/9001, GDPR compliance, and SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2.
