General

What is Officaid?

Officaid is an all-in-one business management platform built for small and medium enterprises. It combines CRM, sales pipeline, HR, payroll, leave and claims management, invoicing, expense tracking, and full double-entry accounting into a single connected workspace.

Who is Officaid designed for?

add

Officaid is designed for small and medium businesses, startups, and growing teams that want to manage their contacts, sales, team, and finances from one platform instead of juggling multiple tools.
