What is the EDGE grant?
EDGE is Enterprise Singapore’s combined business grant. It brings together three earlier schemes: the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) for adopting IT solutions, the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) for business upgrading, and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) for overseas expansion. Companies now make one application instead of choosing between three.
Unlike PSG, EDGE is also open to companies that are not SMEs.

How HR Software Improves HR Productivity
| HR Process | Common Manual Challenge | How OpensoftHR Improves Productivity |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll Processing | HR teams need to calculate salaries, CPF, deductions, and payslips manually. | Automates payroll calculations and generates itemised payslips more efficiently. |
| Leave Management | Employees submit leave through messages, forms, or manual requests. | Allows employees to apply for leave online with digital approval workflows. |
| Feature | Common Pain Point | How OpensoftHR Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud and mobile ESS access | Employees depend on HR for payslips, leave status, claims updates, and personal record changes. | Employees can access HR information, submit requests, and update details through the ESS portal from mobile, tablet, or laptop. |
| Payroll and itemised payslips | Manual payroll queries and payslip requests can take up HR’s time. | Employees can view digital itemised payslips, while payroll information remains better organised within the HRMS. |
| Leave and claims management | HR teams may spend too much time tracking leave balances, approvals, and reimbursement requests manually. | Employees can apply for leave, submit claims, check approval status, and track updates through the system. |
| Time attendance tracking | Attendance records can be difficult to monitor when employees work across different locations or schedules. | Staff can clock in and out through the mobile T&A app, with attendance date and time stamps recorded in the HRMS. |
| Performance appraisal module | Managers may lack a clear way to monitor KPI progress and employee achievements in real time. | Companies can set KPIs, track appraisal progress, and give employees visibility over their targets and performance updates. |
| Employee communication | Company updates may be missed when announcements are scattered across emails or chat groups. | Employees can view the latest announcements from the dashboard whenever they log in. |
| HR productivity and retention support | Repetitive admin work can reduce HR’s time for employee engagement and performance support. | By centralising routine HR tasks, OpensoftHR helps HR teams spend less time on manual follow-ups and more time supporting workforce planning, communication, and employee experience. |

FAQ
HR systems fulfill two main functions. They help you manage and automate the admin side of the business – like managing time off, storing your team’s personal data securely & onboarding new members to the team. HR software should also help make work better for your team – this could be through providing perks, giving them the chance to give you feedback or by allowing you to run a structured performance review process.
