World-class workforce management for modern professional services.
Built for how work actually happens today: project engagements, local and foreign contractors, the gig economy — alongside the full-time employees you still have.
One timesheet drives payroll, billing, and compliance. AI does the work humans usually have to do twice.
Available today in the Philippines. Singapore and Malaysia next.
Your operations probably look like this.
Payroll lives in Sprout, JustPayroll, or a spreadsheet.
Timesheets live in Toggl, Harvest, or a different spreadsheet.
Contractor invoices live in email.
Contract renewals live in someone's head.
BIR forms get prepared manually in January in a panic.
Three tools. Four data silos. Hours of monthly reconciliation. And the timesheet that drives your client invoices is a different timesheet from the one that drives your payroll.
This is normal. It's also indefensible.
One timesheet. Four jobs.
When a consultant logs an hour against a project, that single record drives:
Labor cost (hours × cost rate)
goes to payroll
Client billing (hours × bill rate)
goes to your invoice tool
Utilization (hours / capacity)
goes to your operations dashboard
Project P&L (revenue – cost)
goes to your management report
No syncing. No reconciliation. No "which number is right."
Your billable hour, your cost hour, and your taxable hour are the same hour.
Compliance is engineered in, not bolted on.
We build country packs — versioned, deterministic compliance engines for each jurisdiction we serve. Statutory contributions, labor law, payroll math, government forms: generated to spec, audit-trail every change, updated on the right cycle when authorities change a rule.
Today: Philippines.
Next: Singapore and Malaysia.

Most HR software added a chatbot in 2024. We started from a different architecture.
Deterministic engines compute your payroll, your taxes, your separation pay. AI never touches the math — that's a liability boundary we don't cross.
AI does what AI is good at: explanation, generation, proposal, anomaly detection.
Executive Cockpit. Payroll burn, risk surface, recruitment funnel, talent on bench — the whole company in one screen, money first.
→ Phantom Timesheet
Your calendar, mapped to your projects. You confirm or edit. No more blank-page Mondays.
→ Payroll Variance Explainer

→ Compliance Copilot
"What's the OT rate on a special holiday rest day?" Cited answer from PH Labor Code and DOLE issuances.
→ 2316 Explainer
Employees ask "why is my refund X?" — they get a real answer. Not a ticket to HR.

Upload a signed contract PDF. Key terms extracted, renewal date tracked, alerts at 60/30/14 days.
→ Termination Compliance Copilot
The right notice for the right kind of separation. Drafts the document. Flags the risk. Computes the pay.
Every AI suggestion is logged with the prompt version, the model version, and the accept/edit/reject signal. Fully auditable.
You probably have foreign contractors.
Your current payroll tool probably can't handle them.
Singapore-based devs. UK-based BD reps. Indian designers. Different tax treatment, different payment rails, different compliance — but same firm, same projects, same timesheets.
We model employees, local contractors, and foreign contractors as one workforce primitive with country-aware tax behavior. PH employees get 2316s. Local contractors get 2307s. Foreign contractors get clean payment statements in their currency.
One workforce. Four tax treatments. No spreadsheets.
Your data, your control.

We learned a lot from watching what happened to Salarium customers in 2023. We built accordingly.

What's your status quo actually costing you?
Tool subscriptions, ops-lead reconciliation hours, year-end cleanup, HR time spent answering routine employee questions — most PH professional services firms carry ₱500K+ of hidden workforce admin every year. Three sliders show you yours. Anonymous, no email required.
Built by Arup Maity.
Steer Workforce is built by Steer Platform Pte. Ltd. — Singapore-incorporated since 2019, founded by Arup Maity. It runs the payroll for three real PH-led companies — BlastAsia, Xamun, and Steer Platform itself — before it runs yours.
I've spent 30 years in software across Asia, the UK, and the US. I founded BlastAsia in 2000. I'm the founder and CEO of Xamun, an AI operating system for mid-market businesses. I'm Adjunct Faculty at the Asian Institute of Management. I'm a Director of the Philippine Software Industry Association.
I built Steer Workforce because I run three businesses across the Philippines, Singapore, and the UK — and I couldn't find a workforce platform that handled my mixed team of employees, local contractors, and foreign contractors without three tools and a spreadsheet.
We use Steer to run BlastAsia and Xamun. We dogfood it publicly. The same payroll runs that pay our team are the same ones we ship to customers.
Be among the first.
We're proving Steer Workforce on our own payroll at BlastAsia and Xamun for a few cycles. When early access opens, waitlist members get invitations first — in priority order, with white-glove onboarding from the founder.
