EMPRESS ESS

Empress ESS is the employee self-service mobile app for Empress, made by Azolution Software & Engineers Ltd in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Employees use it to punch attendance, apply for leave, see payslips and tax documents, and send HR requests. Managers use it to approve their team's requests from anywhere.

Empress ESS runs on Android and iOS. It is free to download from Google Play and the App Store. You sign in with the account your employer sets up in Empress, so the app works for organisations that use Empress.

When you punch, the app reads your phone's location and sends the coordinates, the time and the nearest street address to your organisation's Empress system. Your employer can also set an approved workplace area for punches, which Empress calls radius binding. HR then sees where and when each punch was made.

Empress ESS can ask for a live face photo with each punch. The phone first checks that a real person is in front of the camera, then sends the photo to your organisation's Empress system so HR can see who punched. The current app does not match faces automatically.

Device binding links an employee's account to one phone. When your employer turns it on, the app sends a device identifier when you sign in, so the account cannot be used from an unknown phone. On Android the identifier is the system's Android ID; on iOS the app creates its own random ID.

Your attendance, leave and payroll records are kept in your organisation's Empress system, and your employer decides which HR staff can see them. Fingerprint and Face ID sign-in are handled by your phone's operating system, so the app never receives your fingerprint or Face ID data. Punch photos and locations are covered in the privacy policy.

The app is free to download. To use it, your organisation needs Empress. Pricing depends on your organisation, so ask Azolution for a quote. To see Empress ESS and Empress working together, ask for a live demo through the contact form or call +88 01575 606 426.

Empress ESS is the mobile side of Empress: what employees do in the app goes straight into Empress, where HR handles attendance, leave and payroll. Push notifications arrive through Firebase Cloud Messaging. To connect Empress to other systems you use, talk to Azolution about your setup.

Yes. EMY is the AI HR assistant inside Empress. Employees ask about leave, attendance, payslips and HR policy in everyday words, and EMY answers from their own Empress records. Each person sees only what their role allows, so managers get team answers and employees get their own.

Employees should first ask their own HR team, who manage accounts and settings in Empress. HR teams and organisations can reach Azolution by phone on +88 01575 606 426, on WhatsApp at +88 01954 184 050, or through the contact form on this page.
