Microsoft-backed HR automation platform for mid-market payroll and workforce management
Cemex HRM is a 10-year-old HR software company built on Microsoft Azure and .NET, serving mid-market employers across South Asia. The stack is tightly scoped to a single platform (C# + ASP.NET + SQL Server), and the hiring mix is engineer-heavy (4 engineers, 1 support) with minimal recruitment velocity — typical of a bootstrapped, product-stable business executing implementation work rather than scaling.
Cemex HRM builds cloud-based HR management software for mid-market companies, handling payroll, leave management, attendance, recruitment workflows, and appraisal processes. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure infrastructure and includes employee self-service portals, mobile leave modules, and HR analytics. Founded in 2014 as a subsidiary of Cenmetrix, the company is based in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and operates with a small engineering team focused on on-premises client implementations.
C#, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web API, SQL Server, Entity Framework, Azure, and SQL Server Reporting Services — a Microsoft-centric stack optimized for enterprise HR workflows.
Automates HR functions including payroll, leave management, attendance tracking, recruitment, and appraisals on Microsoft Azure, with employee self-service and mobile capabilities.
