1.2 Jisr 2.0 is just the beginning 🖤🤍🩶

Since 2017, Jisr has helped 4500+ businesses, 500K+ employees, 22+ industries simplify their HR and stay compliant with Saudi regulations. 💙

But as organizations grew, we saw the same problem repeat itself: HR and Finance working in silos, duplicating effort, and losing visibility.

With Jisr 2.0, we’re bringing HR and Finance together into one unified system of action. Here’s why.

HR and Finance are two sides of the same coin

People are an organization’s biggest investment and also its biggest expense. Every decision HR makes (hiring, promotions, overtime, benefits) has a financial impact. Every Finance policy (budgets, reimbursements, spending limits) affects the employee experience.

Yet traditionally, these two teams use different systems, spreadsheets, and processes. The result?

  • Disjointed data: HR tracks headcount, Finance tracks spend, but rarely in sync.
  • Inefficient processes: Payroll, reimbursements, and allowances bounce between teams.
  • Hidden costs: Errors, delays, and out-of-policy spend add up quickly.

The impact is bigger than efficiency, it’s about enabling growth:

  • For HR: No more being “just payroll.” You influence budgets and strategy.
  • For Finance: No more firefighting. You get accurate data at source and control at scale.
  • For employees: No more delays. Payments, claims, and allowances are instant and transparent.

As Saudi businesses scale, the complexity of managing people and spend multiplies. Jisr 2.0 is designed for this future: secure, flexible, customizable, compliant, mobile-first and built to power operational speed at scale.

With Jisr 2.0, HR and Finance finally move in sync, because in today’s world, you can’t manage people and finances in isolation.

What’s new with Jisr 2.0 ✨
