What Kasra does

Kasra Engineering Company (شرکت مهندسی کسرا) is an Iranian private software company founded in 2000 (1379 in the Iranian calendar), headquartered in Tehran with a regional office in Isfahan. The company specializes in web-based attendance, workforce management, and access control software for medium-to-large organizations, with a product portfolio that includes the core Online Attendance Software, Kasra Cloud (a pay-as-you-go SaaS for small businesses), Kasra Hamrah and Kasra Avid mobile applications, and a Hospital Attendance System with nurse productivity (Ghasedak/Erfagh) modules. The platform is built on a Dynamic Rules Engine and Workflow Engine that enable no-code policy configuration, integrates with payroll and HR systems, and connects via the Biovation layer to multiple attendance hardware brands (Suprema, Virdi, PalizAfzar, Elme Sanat, Donya Pardazesh). Additional modules include mission management, rewards and productivity tracking, visitor automation, license plate recognition (94-97% OCR accuracy), security and guard management, goods entry/exit, and canteen food management.

Kasra generates revenue through three streams: software subscriptions (monthly for Kasra Cloud, annual quote-based for enterprise), hardware sales (attendance terminals, access control, traffic gates, CCTV, web kiosks, RFID, X-ray equipment), and professional services (implementation, customization, training, support). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting organizations with 50+ employees across oil & gas, healthcare, government, banking, and mining verticals, with a direct-to-consumer/SMB self-service motion through Google Play, Apple App Store, and the Iranian Cafebazaar marketplace. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and operates exclusively in the Iranian domestic market with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or international expansion. Notable customers include Iran Insurance, Isfahan Municipality, Khanevadeh Hospital, Chadormelo Mining, and Komiteh Emdad Imam Khomeini (managing 20,000 personnel). AI is limited to embedded computer vision features for license plate recognition and facial recognition in hospital deployments.
